Pinkie,
He was asked, actually he was instructed, repeatedly to "stop his preaching".
He was told his job was on the online.
He was hired to teach mathematics, not religion or ethics or sociology or anything else
He himself stated that his preaching was what "[his] authority, [his] God, [was] telling all believers to do."
He was therefore acting illegally (if my understanding of the laws banning religion from US schools are correct).
In other words, this guy was asking to be fired.
I have nothing against someone with strong religious beliefs. Indeed, my wife, mother and my mother-in-law are all devout Catholics. But I don't believe we should treat them differently, or consider them above the law, just because they think God is talking to them.
Fired and good ridance. He may have been "a marvelous young man", but he was patently a shit employee as he couldn't understand his contract, his duties, his responsibilities, his obligation to act as instructed and his underlying job.
Mr Mephisto
