I've had experiences with teachers asserting their religious beliefs in the classroom. For the students that disagree with the teachers opinions, it can (and did for me : ) ) cause respect issues with the teacher, and discussing these things in the classroom takes away from the reason (as stated by law) students are in school: to learn. One of the fundamental freedoms granted by the constitution is the freedom of speech, but in a proffessional environment, it is not appropriate to press one's beliefs on others. I think it is reasonable that the teacher was fired, especially since there were multiple complaints and reprimands, and he had been warned before hand that his job was on the line.
