FOXNews.com - Teacher Who Sought to 'Demolish' Tea Party Placed on Leave From School

This is clearly not the type of "adult" that should be teaching middle school students and helping form their character.  And it's not about his politics; but, his lack of ethics.  His attitude that he has the right to prevent others from exercising their free right of assembly and political speech and encouraging others to do the same is completely unethical.  We aren't talking about an emotional college student who gets carried away with his own fervor for a cause.  We are talking about an adult, a teacher, that is supposed to be teaching children how to act as responsible adults and imparting ethics (which is hard to do when you have none).  We are talking about someone who is clearly willing to violate the most basic political rights of others being in charge of guiding impressionable children and helping them understand and inculcate the ideals upon which this country was founded.

It's not his particular political persuasion (clearly "liberal-progressive-socialist-idiot") but his lack of ethics and demonstrated willingness to deny others their Constitutional rights that makes him unfit to be a teacher.  This is the type of person that can justify, in his own mind indoctrinating rather than teaching.  This is the type of person that believes the end justifies the means thus violating the rights of others is of no import.  Only results and his own rights matter.  The ethics of civil discourse do not.

History teaches us that under National Socialism it was considered perfectly ethical to deny others certain rights especially if they were not members of the National Socialist Party and pure German.  I call this situational ethics and under the situational ethics of the socialists, only the rights of the socialists were important while others, deemed less worthy, were denied those same rights.  We fought a great war to defeat National Socialism which was hoped would end the unethical abuse espoused by that evil and murderous regime.  But that did not inoculate us from the same disease under a different guise.  If we fail to recognize the dangers of situational ethics we are doomed to repeat history.

You can be certain that his defense will be that it is his "right" to have his own political views.  And that is true to a point.  But what he demonstrated was not his radical political views, but his immature willingness (if not immature it would be evil willingness and I leave that choice to you) to obstruct, and encourage others to obstruct, the rights of others in furtherance of those radical political views.  This adherence to situational ethics makes him unfit to teach or to be in charge of the children.

Question...we have registries nation-wide for pedophiles and sex-offenders so do we also need a registry for unethical-radical-liberal-idiots?  Just wondering.
