Fire this teacher

Fire this teacher. He knew exactly what he was doing. One parent had it right when she described it as "almost voyeurism". Beyond indoctrination, which would have been bad enough, this was teacher as predator.

And consider this. Steven Warshawsky, RCP:

But toleration is a two-way street. By what political, moral, or logical principle should the views of religious minorities and non-believers take precedence over those of the vast majority of Christian Americans? Why should my non-religious "sensitivities," for example, trump those of my more religious neighbors? To put it in concrete terms, why should a small number of dissenters be able to prevent the larger community from consecrating their public ceremonies and rites of passage, like high school graduation, with a short prayer (nondenominational or otherwise)? Put somewhat differently, why are political majorities entitled to impose their political views on others with impunity, sometimes in the most obnoxious ways (think liberals in San Francisco or Manhattan), but religious majorities cannot even have a moment of silence in school or a representation of the Ten Commandments in a courtroom? Frankly, I do not see how any "conservative" can agree with the present treatment of Christianity in this country.

The intolerance and bigotry of the left is intolerable. Every day in many classrooms and schools, Christians are belittled, a faith whose tradition in this country is one of religious tolerance for all. Would the schools allow them equal time? At Deerfield High School, or New Trier? I thought not.

And yet teachers like this are kept on and defended.

UPDATE: From the Culture Campaign blog:

According to Lora Sue Hauser, the head of North Shore Student Advocacy (NSSA), students at Deerfield High School were asked to sign a 'confidentiality agreement' before listening to a panel discussion by homosexual students in a mandatory class known as Freshman Advisory.

Several weeks ago, Ellen Waltz, mother of a freshman girl, was denied permission by the school to quietly sit in on the class and observe. The school instead offered to give her a video tape of the class. When she called to obtain the videotape, she was told it was not available...How convenient.

NSSA filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the Freshman Advisory curriculum. The request was denied by the school.
