He is fine with their union he just doesnt want it called marriage. As far as I know there is no constitutional right to marriage. There is a constitutional right to free speech. Hell white supremacists can go an protest something legally if they have the proper permits and you can't do anything about it. (or any other thing lots of people dont agree with because of freedom of speech)

How bout if we say only white people can legally get married...or call it marriage. Is that the equal pursuit of happiness?


Now you are just making stuff up. That is racism. Marriage has always been the union of a man and a woman. Thats what it has been for 1000s of years. Now people are wanting to change the definition of marriage. Not to mention you are saying that people who don't get married cant be happy. I dont buy it. In fact with 50% of marriages ending in divorce I really dont buy it. One does have the freedom of speech and religion in the constitution though. You can't argue that its ok for gay people to be protected by the constitution but not people like this teacher. If you are really for rights you should be arguing that his opinion is wrong but that you support his right to have it and the school is wrong.

sing me it doesn't matter if its not private. It isn't at school and has no baring on his teaching. My mention of him being a hunter or going to a firing range isn't private either. Are you saying you only have freedom of speech in your home?


There was a time when interracial marriage wasn't allowed. Remember, the law was changed. Are you ok with that change, yet not allowing two adults, no matter what sex they are, to get married?

When it comes to being a teacher, you have to be careful how you say things. Obviously, this got out and didn't stay public. What happens when a gay student is in his class and doesn't feel safe and comfortable because of the views he put on facebook? What if it had been racial issues? Would you have been ok with a racist teacher spouting those beliefs on facebook?


I dont care if gay people get married. I am not against it. I am against this school suspending him for his views on the subject
