I agree with Ida Salisbury but I go farther and question why the CC GOP poll question did not go the next step and ask whether the teacher should have been suspended.It would have been particularly interesting to see how we all voted on both of these questions. (May I also point out that the teacher's behavior was MORE than bullying in that the teacher holds a position of authority over the student.)

Concerning the teacher who I believe should have been disciplined, the discipline should be for wearing a political tee-shirt in class was divisive in that it endorsed homosexuality and for the teacher who then spent an entire class day promoting homosexuality and division among students and using his authority as a teacher to causing a student (who held religious beliefs that the practice of homosexuality is wrong) to respond in opposition to the teacher's comments. The student was set up by the teacher. The teacher was wrong. The teacher is the one who should have been suspended. The school is wrong. The school district should pay.
