Secondly.. From your link, she..

"Gil Voigt was suspended, without pay, from Fairfield Freshman School on Monday which is the first step necessary if they decide to terminate him. Because of teachers’ union rules, Voigt’s suspension is preliminary to and required before his actual firing. Voigt now has 10 days to seek a hearing before the whole school board itself or a “referee.” The alleged incident occurred on Dec. 3 and is reported to have happened in front of several other students. He is accused of violating board policies related to harassment, staff ethics, and staff-student relations."

Mr Voigt is his own worst enemy.. he can't control his "stupid" racist brain. It just jerks out of his mouth. It sounds like he's been teaching too long. Kids needs role models and those who able to communicate ethics; not those who try to defeat them before they get started.

Thanks for bringing this to light, she~
