Florida school suspends ‘Teacher of Year’ over his support for natural marriage
This kind of flagrant, unconstitutional and unconscionable anti-Christian bigotry must not be allowed to stand.
August 22, 2011
A Florida teacher has been suspended and removed
http://www.onenewsnow.com/Education/Default.aspx?id=1413842
from the classroom in Mount Dora, Florida, for comments made on his Facebook page against homosexual ‘marriage.’ Liberty Counsel will be representing the teacher in court.
In response to New York’s passage of a same-sex marriage bill, Jerry Buell criticized the new law in a pair of Facebook posts. He wrote, ‘If they want to call it a union, go ahead. But don’t insult a man and woman’s marriage by throwing it in the same cesspool of whatever. God will not be mocked. When did this sin become acceptable?’
Just minutes later, he added, ‘I will never accept it because God will never accept it. Romans chapter one.’
This reference to Scripture and man-woman marriage has now been labeled as a ‘code ethics violation’ by school officials.
Mr. Buell is currently subject to an Inquisition-type investigation. The school will not let him back into the classroom, says a school official, ‘until we do all the interviews and do a thorough job of looking at everything—past or previous writings.’
Says Mr. Buell, ‘It was my own personal comment on my own personal time on my own personal computer in my own personal house, exercising what I believed as a social studies teacher to be my First Amendment rights.’
“It’s worth noting that Florida’s constitution prohibits recognition of same-sex marriage, the exact view Mr. Buell supports. In essence, he is now being accused of hate speech for expressing a view enshrined in the state constitution.
TAKE ACTION
Send an email today to the Lake County school superintendent and school board,

insisting that Jerry Buell be returned to the classroom immediately and that no disciplinary action be taken against him.
It is very important that you forward this alert to your friends and family members.
Sincerely,
Tim Wildmon, President
American Family Association”

E-mail Heading: Woe to those who call evil good!
Dear Superintendent Moxley:
It has come to my attention that a former ‘Teacher of the Year’ in the Lake County School District, Jerry Buell, has been suspended from the classroom for expressing support for natural marriage on his private Facebook page.
The Florida constitution prohibits recognition of same-sex marriage. Thus Mr. Buell has essentially been accused of hate speech for expressing a view enshrined in the state’s supreme legal document.
This kind of anti-Christian bigotry must not be allowed to stand. I urge you in the strongest possible terms to return Mr. Buell to the classroom immediately and that absolutely no disciplinary action be taken against him.
Note: I am a former American government teacher in Illinois, a former school board member in Arizona, and a political blog writer at http://christiangunslinger.blogspot.com/
This material WILL be my post for August 23rd and I will follow this through to its conclusion.
It is because of such immoral behavior as seems to be represented by your school system that I now recommend home schooling as the FIRST option for Christian parents. Private schools are the second option. I know from experience that, if your district loses enough Christians, it will implode!!! Christians are the bedrock of public education! If you don’t believe it, drive them away and see the results!

FOR ALL MY CHRISTIAN READERS:
I repeat. When a Government school promotes EVIL, your course of action, if you can’t convince the authorities to repent, is to HOME SCHOOL or send your children to a private school!!! I am tired of Government schools that receive and spend our hard earned money promoting EVIL in whatever name selected—fairness, equality, diversity, tolerance, or whatever nonsense!!! The MOST intolerant people in this nation are the people who trumpet tolerance!!!
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” (Last sentence of the Declaration of Independence)
It is time, it’s past time to RESTORE THE CONSTITUTION!!!
