He was preaching in a manner that made no positive traction. You wont be able to have a debate with someone who says Bush = Hitler as proven here until said statement is ignored or retracted (notice it's never retracted?).
Good he's fired. If he had said Hilery = Hitler would you honestly be so against this?

I'm glad this question has been brought up a few times.
The truth of the matter is this was not a "geography" class.
It's a world geography class, or human geography class.
The syllabus explains this is a political-geography class. It's about how to situation our notions of place within the human context. This class
is not the kind of geography class many of you seem to be thinking of when you write these comments and questions. It's not about learning the capitols of places. It's an AP (advanced placement, college credit) geography/politics class. Many other courses are becoming what are called "synthesis" courses, and hopefully people begin to understand this before they get upset about these new biology/law, chemistry/ethics, geography/politics and etc. courses.
