Christian Teacher Under Investigation For Opposing Homosexuality -- [url=http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/daily-dispatch/christian-teacher-under-investigation-for-opposing-homosexuality.html?test=latestnews]Article Here[/url] [quote]A New Jersey high school teacher is under investigation after she allegedly posted a message on her private Facebook page that she opposed homosexuality because of her Christian faith. The Union Township school district said they are investigating whether Viki Knox violated school policies when she allegedly posted remarks saying homosexuality is a sin that “breeds like cancer” and describing it as “perverted.” Knox also complained, on her private Facebook page, that Union High School featured a display recognizing October as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender History month. The display reportedly featured photos of Harvey Milk, Neil Patrick Harris and Virginia Woolf.[/quote] [...] [quote]“I find what she wrote on Facebook endangers the learning atmosphere for students beyond repair and violates the school district’s own policy of a safe and comfortable environment for all,” Goldstein said. “She’s no longer in a position to teach in the classroom because she will make many students fearful of her hatred.”[/quote] [...] [quote]“The problem is they don’t want anyone who believes homosexuality is a sin to be a teacher,” Davis said. “Teachers obviously should not be punished for exercising these kinds of constitutionally protected rights. She has a right to communicate her religious beliefs.” Davis said the ADF found it necessary to take a stand on behalf of the teacher because of what they called the massive opposition against her by New Jersey’s homosexual community. “She is being persecuted for having a belief,” Davis said. “It’s very scary – she has a right to communicate her religious beliefs.”[/quote] So...does a public employee forfeit his or her right to free speech, regardless of the environment?
