I'd have to agree that the poll is worded poorly - one possible reason that the poll on OWH was so even. Other possible reasons include, but are not limited to, the people who voted "no" are A) Illiterate, and so they couldn't read the atricle themselves, B) devout Christians who believe they are better than others, or C) Just plain fucktards.
The man was not "discussing" Christianity. "You're either for him or against him" If this is the guy's opinion, I can't even imagine what he would be telling his students. He believed he was in the right, sure, but that doesn't change the fact that he was trying to indoctrinate students with his beliefs. Many students expressed to him that they were uncomfortable with it, and he was repeatedy told to stop.
Imagine, for a moment, that some teacher is a white supremacist. This said teacher calls his black students "niggers." He spends 10 minutes of each class speaking about how his white students are superior to the others. He grades them better, and he treats them better in class. This guy would be fired WITHOUT QUESTION.
So my question is... why would it be different for a devout Christian? It offends me when someone tries to convert me to ANYTHING. It would offend me greatly if this guy took class time to try to teach me how much Jesus loves me. Why am I any different from a black kid getting called nigger?
Why is it even a question if he should have been fired? He wasn't doing his job, he was using class time for his personal benefit, and he was blatantly offending his students. That's all there is to it.
