How far do you go with this Thought-Police mentality?
If he attends a church that has anti-gay views does he get fired?

"But what is socially acceptable? Well what if a man gets his jollys off with little boys the same way it became socially acceptable in ancient Rome? Is it because he was born that way?"
Being attracted to young boys (or young girls) may be natural.
However, we've made it illegal since a young child cannot consent. |

I am man enough to admit that when I told my brother I was gay he said later that he almost threw up. And my brother is one of the coolest guys you will meet. But then again that is a little more personal than something like gay marriage that doesn't affect you in any way. |

"And what's with this thinking "anti-gay statement = closet homosexual"? Is this the birth of a new, unfounded stereotype?"

Uhhh, based on this interview, I would say we would be better off ejecting him from the meme pool...Personal religious affiliations have NO place in Public school, for that matter religion(and creationism/intelligent design) should be kept to classes in theology and history. If you want to proliferate the unfounded belief in the irrational, please teach at a private school |

(cont.) ...only "lazy Liberals" can't afford private schools.
Please...children from conservative families are not being "singled out", and if they were, I wouldn't support that teacher either. |

Crakrjak: "No, there are so many teachers that have voiced those same opinions, against conservatives, that parochial school enrollments are at all-time highs."
Um..I've never heard of teachers publicly bashing conservatives, and I tried to find examples. Came up with none, so, no.
"So what is a conservative family, that can't afford to send their kids to a parochial school, supposed to do ? Right now, they can't do anything but send their kids to public school and hope the teachers don't single them out for ridicule."
There are conservatives who can't afford parochial schools? I wonder how they feel about the radical right-wing go0vernors like Rick Scott, Scott Walker, and others who are actively trying to dismantle public schools in our states. Want they want to do here is give everyone $5,000 vouchers to send your kids to private schools. Of course, they cost quite a bit more than that, so the rest is up to you, because of course |

@sethmccary, examples of homosexuality has been around as long as history has been recorded so no, homosexuality is not an evolution to curb overpopulation. I think homosexuality has always been there to curb overpopulation. Well also to help make this world a little more fabulous. |

Weather an opinion is the truth is irrelevant, right? How one man's jollys get off is own his business, right? Maybe homosexuality more socially acceptable now because tv shows are telling people that it is ok. But what is socially acceptable? Well what if a man gets his jollys off with little boys the same way it became socially acceptable in ancient Rome? Is it because he was born that way? |

Seriously, homosexuality is darwinism at a human level. The same way some frogs in Africa spontaneously change sexes when there are too many of one sex so that the species can continue...except in reverse. The world is becoming over-populated, there is no "competition" to reproduce, so natural selection is just running it's course. I'm not an expert, but it's just a theory. |

madest: Mr. Buell lives in Redneckersonville where hating on gays is a misdemeanor. He'd have lost his job up here where smart people live.
Once again, your superiority complex is showing. As if you are instantly smarter than everyone else just because of where you live. You have a monstrous hubris that may someday cause a pride fall of epic proportions. I hope that you will someday realize that there are different kinds of 'smarts' and that you are not the epitome of even one of them. |

It doesn't matter if it is your civil right if your employer doesn't want you representing them with that sort of publicity. If this man gets his job back, every hot teacher that ended up fired over slutty pics and/or pronz should be reinstated and given some restitution. |

@SmilinSam, It is also ok for nazis to march freely in the US. Could you though, please tell me where you go this from:
"teachers give up rights just like students do in our schools." |

@SmilinSam
Do you hear yourself right now? Sure, teachers and students have a "code of ethics" to abide by while in school. However, to say he shouldn't be able to express his opinions about same sex marriage(while outside of school, mind you) is absolutely ludicrous. NO ONE'S job should ever be threatened for expressing the way they feel about something even if it is racist, discriminatory, or just plain inappropriate.
It's our civil right to express how we feel about certain issues. Just as it's your civil right to disagree with my views. To take that away from somebody simply because they're a teacher is a gross violation of our civil rights and should be taken very seriously. |

I don't agree with what he said but he has the right to say it. Every educator knows don't friend students on facebook. |

"You try feeling safe in a classroom where a man calls homosexuality a cesspool."
Isn't the point of male homosexuality to get into your buddy's cesspool? |

teachers give up rights just like students do in our schools. he can hate all he wants to, but when it comes to the classroom (or facebook apparently, because he had students on it) he should keep his opinions to himself... if you replace the word "gay" with the word "black" would some of you still be saying that he is in the right? i think not. granted there are probably racist teachers out there, but they know to keep their mouths shut if they want to keep their jobs. the same principles apply here in this situation. being gay is just another thing for small-minded individuals to discriminate against, just like being a minority was fifty years ago. |

It was a douchey, closed-minded thing to say, but he has the right to say it. He shouldn't be punished.
A school in a less gay-friendly community might punish a teacher for posting passionately pro-gay comments, and would you have a problem with that? |

No I wasn't wrong. Mr. Buell lives in Redneckersonville where hating on gays is a misdemeanor. He'd have lost his job up here where smart people live.
But then again it would never happen up here because smart people live here. |

He friended CURRENT students of his, and that (being a really, really bad idea even for the most mild mannered of people) means that the students in that classroom KNOW how he feels. You try feeling safe in a classroom where a man calls homosexuality a cesspool. As a straight woman I would still have felt unsafe to be in a class with a man who thinks that mutual love between two people is so horrible he wants to vomit. If I had a kid in that class, I would probably ask to have my child taken out of that sort of hostile environment.
Also apparently he has said some things in class, so he should at least be highly monitored in class. |
