Christian Teacher writes letter to school newspaper saying "Gays deserve to die"

[Whateverist]

Not approving of it is one thing but phrasing it in terms of "deserve to die" seems to me to fall in the "shouting fire in a theater" category when addressed to a group prone to suicide and to death by hate group. It certainly is hate speech. Given his position and the responsibility it bears for the betterment of all students, I think he should have been canned. It was an irresponsible as well as hateful thing to say.
