Rockhurst Teacher Dismissal Contradicts Christian Teachings?!?

We've seen this movie before but it's worth repeating for #TBT . . .

A teacher challenges the status quo and gets the boot for getting too real. 

Examples include but aren't limited to:

To Sir With Love

Dead Poets Society

Dangerous Minds

School Of Rock

And a better eye-candy version with bawdy jokes and absolutely no inspirational value: Bad Teacher starring Cameron Diaz in 2011.  

TKC's favorite movie with this theme:

Summer School - A 1987 movie that found an audience on cable TV with a rising star Italian actress Fabiana Udenio and more than a few familiar faces that TV junkies will remember . . .

But I digress . . .  

Instead of entertainment value . . . This overly emotional prog blog screed supports a veteran who forgot that the stuffed shirts at Rockhurst love nothing more than bullying people they don't agree with . . . In order to pretend like ANYBODY cares about a high school's mostly imagined rep.

Here's the word . . .

"There are more, but my point is not to prove to Christians that they have a moral obligation to the foreigner and the immigrant. My point is that telling this truth to a group of Christians in a Catholic school resulted in a teacher’s firing because it made people acting immorally uncomfortable with their immoral choice. Jimbo Gillcrist wasn’t fired for being political. He was fired for disrupting the damning silence of the status quo, a silence that is designed to let untruth flourish.

"This silence is as common as it is compulsory."

The right has made the truth political. Teachers are nonetheless obligated to speak it. * Kansas Reflector

A Kansas City teacher was ultimately fired for "political" speech in the classroom. But what he said wasn't political; it was moral.
