My tack might be slightly different than the whole freedom of speech debate. My main question is did this provide a good learning experience for the students? Did it teach them anything? Most importantly did it teach them the most important thing and that is to discuss, question, and delve deeper into the world around them?
From what little we know of the incident, it would seem that certainly this lesson has now been much more effectively demonstrated than some dry line out of a text book.
I know everyone is going to talk about the first amendment aspects of this case, but if we go back to the idea of judging a teacher on whether or not they effectively teach, I'd have to say I don't see why one should resign. However, if one is in a school that prizes political correctness over actually teaching the kids something, then maybe I would resign in that situation for that fact alone.
