Well if what he's saying in the O'Reilly interview is true, then the "non-renewal of contract" (= firing) is disgusting. The reasons don't make any sense, and he's been a respected educator for 20 years.
But unfortunately he probably doesn't have a legal leg to stand on. Probably his only chance would be to shame them with publicity into keeping him on the payroll. He's doing exactly the right thing by taking it to the media. If they fire him, he could probably find an activist lawyer to embarrass them some more, which I would have no problem with whatsoever, if the details are as he describes them.
Bottom line, he is an excellent, talented teacher. And that was all he was required to be in his job.
All that said, this is not the same as the Churchill case, as has already been pointed out.
