Both Islam and Christianity, along with the other religions should be taught in schools. Just not in the math classes. And students should be free from the attacks of zealots as the go from class to class.
Do you really mean that? Or is it just words? Because if the field is occupied, you can't forfeit the game. Do you go to physics class to hear evolution defended as an inviolate and unassailable creed? Do you allow the children to open their coloring books on crude pagan stickworks hung from the branches of trees? As I said, if the situation is such, you want many MORE of those like him to take the field, and even it up, at the very least.
"Both Islam and Christianity, along with the other religions should be taught in schools"
What on earth are you saying? It is the Christian faith that has been the foundation of our nation not the moon cult. And it is not a matter of teaching anything...it's a matter of a Christian teacher being allowd to say what he wants in his own way. He wasn't fired for not doing a good job teaching Math but rather for expressing his Christian views.
His firing screams hate and a complete ignorance of the constitution.
