Passion of the Teacher

Richmond VA Spanish teacher gets sick, takes off work, comes back to find that the school has removed all of his Christianity-related posters, and decides to sue.

Well, this is probably the definition of a "frivolous lawsuit", but the guy's right. It's his classroom and, if the school's got a problem, they can tell him instead of being wimps about it. I'm not sure exactly what right you have to "express yourself" in your high school Spanish class. Sort of lame there; like a math teacher reading the class his poetry. So, he's a douche. But, still what right do the students have to expect that they will never encounter anyone who has different beliefs than them? I'm sick of the "summer camp" style of teaching. The world contains Christians as well as Buddhists, Marxists, lame-os, and whoever else, and the little princelings have no right to be sheltered from people who are different than them.

So there.
