    Yes, he is.

    For the purposes of the First Amendment, the teacher's employer is a state actor.

    I don't disagree. But it's not a branch of the U.S. government. Sorry, but check my screen name. Semantics and pedantry are what I eat for breakfast. :)

    You do not discuss your personal life, sex, politics or religion with your students. It's a pretty simple rule to follow. If they ask you a question about these topics you refer them back to their parents, parent or guardian.

    And teachers are told to be very, very careful what they put on a Facebook page. It's like standing up in the middle of a crowded room (your friends) and shouting what you think.

    I'm sure a private school will hire this guy in a second.

    There's one in the same town that I'm sure would be happy to have him.

    My 2 cents:

    Gay marriage doesn't throw "straight" marriage into a cesspool. Hetero couples are perfectly capable of doing that on their own, thank you.

    This teacher wants to kiss another guy on the lips so bad he can taste it.

    How would you like to be the grad assistant assigned to monitor male genital arousal for that study?

    Guess it depends on where you fall on the continuum!

    Yeah, but you still gotta to keep it in your lab coat or you'd skew the study.

    Guarandamntee you that if the teacher had been ripping "Bible thumpers" with the words "vomit" and the phrase "I hate you because of what you are" that there wouldn't have been a sniff of action in his direction.

    Fact is, in Florida, gay marriage isn't legal. It's his opinion.
