There are definitely criminals involved in this story... those bureaucRATS who ousted the teacher.
Escamilla’s crime: he invited an Evangelist to speak to students in one of his History classes. It made sense. The class was about the Bible in History. Who was he going to invite? Howard Dean? The Evangelist was Kamil Solomon, an Egyptian-born Coptic Christian now residing in Raleigh. Kamil runs Kamil International Ministries.
Coptic Christians are not among Egypt’s favorite minorities. Egypt is 96 percent Muslim and the majority population has been persecuting the Copts for more years than the Prophet had fleas in his beard.

He violated one of the great taboos - he said the truth about the cult of death.
Where are the pro-Free Speech people? Islam is criminal is the guy’s opinion. Isn’t he allowed to have that opinion? What other opinion’s will cost somebody their job? Shouldn’t the employer list those opinions and give fair warning?
Any thoughtful person who knows history and religion would be anti-Islam. Along with Communism, Naziism, and the Black Death, Islam has been responsible for more death and destruction on the face of the planet than just about anything else since the last asteroid impact. Islam was started by predators. It has spread by predation. It has lived off the decaying corpses of the civilizations it has destroyed. It is a vast, ancient sea of corruption, oppression, fanaticism, and ignorance lapping up against the shores of the present, kept alive by the fortuitous accident of living above huge reserves of petroleum.
But Mahmood speaking at Columbia? Priceless. /sarcasm
Ward Churchill? Gotta have him
Robert Spencer, Daniel Pipes?
Oh no...

Very well and succinctly said.
A minor edit: "Ahead of Communism, Naziism, and the Black Death, Islam has been responsible for more death and destruction on the face of the planet ..."
I like this Escamilla which is also a beautiful sounding name
“Burns also said interviews with students revealed that they “did little or no work,” and spent most of class time watching videos”
from what I’ve heard from students, that statement is true of many teachers of history, social sciences, etc.
And suicidal
And it is most definitely, and assuredly, evil.
al-bump
He seems to be patriotic.
God bless America & defense against Islamofascism is very much connected since 911.
