The point isn't the man's beliefs. He was BURNING students.

Why did it require a vote to fire him?

Is burning a cross better or worse than burning a fish? When did it become ok to burn kids??? I'd want him fired for drawing a cross of a fish on the kids with a marker. For burning them I'd want him in jail! |

Jail sounds like a good idea.

They volunteered to get burned 
Wormie, what if it was a swastika? or a pentagram? I agree about burning fish though - the smell won't go away for weeks.

I'd want him fired for drawing any of those things on the kids, and I'd want him in jail for burning anything - even cute little smilie faces.
How is this not assault? |

Burning a cross is better, clearly.

But he claims it wasn't a cross - it was an "x".

He marks the kid with an "X" and people like me assume he's some crazy guy obsessed with crosses.
It's tough being misunderstood. | |
