But if you open this Pandora's box, people will.

And religion is a protected class. So all it's going to take is some conservative nutjob calling for the head of an atheist teacher or a pro-LGBT because they say she's intimidating Christian students for their beliefs and the same legal precedent will apply because religion is a protected class as well.

It's clear that nuance and depth of thought and even a small trace of foresight is not your strong suit. If you can't see where this could easily be turned around to groups we approve of, INCLUDING AND ESPECIALLY pro LGBT teachers then you clearly have issues in understanding anything resembling a big picture here.

This law does not specifically state that it only applies to LGBT kids. It applies to all protected classes INCLUDING religion. So if right out of the gate with this thing we start stretching it well past it's intended meaning and definition without providing ample proof that any child in her class or in her care was treated differently or intimidated because of what she posted on her own time on her own computer and in her own forum then this law is going to be overturned entirely in no time. Will you be happier then? Will that protect more gay kids from bullying?

You asked above if I someone who took a similar position as mine would feel the same way if it was a racist post and you're goddamned right I would. Just as I would if it was a liberal post or a pro-LGBT post, or a pro-socialism post or a pro whatever post. Unless you can show and prove that she treated any kid in her class differently or allowed for bullying or intimidation to take place then you have no case and no grounds for firing. In any of those cases.
