Publicly supporting a teacher who’s already received (slap on the hand) school district discipline for teaching in class that evolution and the Big Bang were unscientific, that there were dinosaurs on Noah’s Ark and talking about how a Muslim student would go to hell is NOT a First Amendment issue.
First, courts have consistently found public school classrooms to be “captive audiences,” therefore teachers on such matters do not have the same degree of protection as they would in making their statements outside the school.
Second, union solidarity nonsense be damned in cases like this? Why is his teachers’ union supporting this guy, period.
And this is in New Jersey, not Alabama — and just 10 miles from Manhattan!!!
