this is a tough question for me. i am a devout Christian, but also very grounded. part of Christianity is about being 'the light on the hill' and trying your very hardest to spread God. But, conversely, it is unchristian to impose your will on others. I cannot tell here whether he is imposing his will on the children, or making sure that the word of God can be spread to them if they so desire. Part of me says: good for him! go God! but then again, it is not suitable in all scenarios, and i think this is one of them. I voted no because i do not think he should be fired for discussing Christianity in the classroom. Face it, Christianity can be a very life-changing and eye-opening experience that should be offered to everyone if and when they want it. i think he should be fired for not obeying his bosses, and especially because the students themselves complained. that should be message enough, leave the spreading to the church and parents...and if you truly want to spread the word of God (and i extremely admire those who do), do it in a church or an out-of-classroom context.
