Way before the Rudy Kos fiasco, my son's kindergarten teacher at St. Thomas was fired within the first semester of his hire. There were rumors going around about his "love" of children, although nothing untoward had happened. I was upset that he had been fired because he was an excellent teacher. Shortly after his firing, I started to recieve phone calls from this teacher. He wanted to take my son fishing. Then he'd call back and want to take my son to the mall. I gained a tremendous amount of respect for our pastor for firing this pervert before anything happened to any child.
