This is ridiculous. I went to a Catholic HS, and we were forced to view an anti-abortion video, with actual footage. Why was that okay and this is wrong? It doesn't make any sense.

This is absurd !! A student from age 9-13 has been writing papers for homework and preaching being Vegan in private school and poublic school and this has never caused a problem. The teachers give out candy for some experiments and he could not do them due to what ingredients were in the candy they used. 2 teachers then made sure they had something he could use.

This is a terrible ridiculous reason to get this teacher kicked out. I'm infuriated. Why shouldn't he be able to explain why he's vegan/ Express his views and knowledge? Someone finally doing good and it backfired.

Yeah, like we have SO MANY teachers that it's good to bounce one for nothing. As if it's going to hurt the kids to be exposed to another lifestyle choice besides the fatty slime that school cafeterias serve up.

I found out that to promote vegan is very very difficult, like you attack a holy "hot dog".. However it is so important that we change our diet for the goodness of the whole planet. This story above is ridiculous..

This is awefull how can they legally get away with this. He did nothing wrong as far as what is said on the video. I see no reason for the schools actions,that they took .

Anyone have a petition made up to put the school in its place our voices need to be heard on this ! ! !



If he loses his job ,we need to pool our resources to try to help him find another job.

One of my dreams is to someday have a vegan colledge, if i had the resourses and money i would hire him.

A teacher wanted me to come to her class to talk about my fruitarian lifestyle, but suddenly they cancellede it for a bullshit reason apparently higher ups dont want the kids to know about alternate lifestyles.

makes one wonder why are kids in school for? to learn, or to be brain washed and controlled.

if i ever have kids they will be home schooled!

I wonder if PETA could help him maybe they could hire him to teach, or maybe help him with a good vegan lawyer.

personally im not impressed with schools . the world is a huge mass of multilane highways and criss crossing roads,paths etc. going to many wonderfull places . yet the schools only seem to want the kids to travel on thier old outdated lame dirt road which is stale with ignorance, and is controlled and sterile, and devoid of practicle wisdom, and learning and diversity.

maybe it wasn't the message, but how it was said. can't play it either, and don't really want to try. but i can imagine if he went on like some care2 members do, saying that people who eat meat or even wear leather shoes are evil and murderers, etc... there may be issues. on the other hand, if he explained it the way some people do, about how he felt he personally couldn't bring himself to, that farming practices as they are can be cruel, and bad for the environment, and how he feels people ought not to eat animals if there are other options, etc. then i don't see why it's a problem. one end are people who call the RSPCA because a spider is about to eat a fly. the sane ones are those who rescue abandoned kittens and go to the trouble of trapping a rat for release instead of poisoning it.

It's a similar situation in the UK, you have to be very careful what you say about your own beliefs in the classroom, even for something like vegetarianism.
I agree that it's ridiculous that you can't explain your own views when you're trying to encourage children to develop their own.

Horrible, what is wrong with being able to sate your view points on such an issue, are we not a Free society? LOL, suppose that is all so long ago...we should not eat meat...period, we have been conditioned for way to long to go along with big brother and keeping the big pharmas rich by eating meat, which has and will continue to cause all kinds of disease from cancer to almost anything that we get today! Terrible! Thanks and noted!

Duh. Not surprised. It goes against the grain of Teaching/Brainwashing them into being a perverted Psychopath Torturing/Murdering Frogs and All Other animals for their lifetime...supporting the businesses.

At 15 I was given Detention and Not allowed to attend any games, etc bec I refused to participate in this SATANism. And in the 70s it was definitely unheard of. It certainly gave me a lot of insight. And the opportunity while sitting in the Dean's ofc to go thru files and read how the Meat(Corpse)/Dairy Industry Pays them all Billions of $$$.

And now look at their School Books...Inundated with McDonalds and Other Sadistic Corps...at least with College/Univ Students I teach -- altho sure it's ditto w/All schools. And now teaching perversion. Animal Cruelty & perversion Always go together.

A good way to Control the Zombie-eyed Assembly-lines Followers of the masses.

Well we only got one side of the story - did he just state that he didn't like to eat meat or did he
call the kids whyo eat meat "sadistic psychpathic murderers" ?

Eating meat is in the nature of man - thats an objective truth that no sane person with just a little knowledge of biology can deny. We are not conditioned to eat meat - we are all born as omnivores. Its the vegatarians and vegans who are conditioned not to eat meat.

All arguments for veganism fall in the realm of religion and while a teacher has the right to have any religion desired without being discriminated for it, I guess most parents would object if the teacher was actively trying to convert the pupils to that religion.

This is just stupid, kicking out a teacher for his beliefs? They dont kick students out when they say they like the patriots or whatever, why kick out teachers? He wasn't saying that meat eaters were bad, hes only been vegan 9 months. He was just telling them why he was, in case they were interested, what's so wrong with that? Yeah they should have put the principals and students views in it, but what was wrong about giving them a little information? He wasnt saying be vegan or youll go to hell, that would actually be slightly hypocritcal. The students probably asked him, and he explained.
