Was Michigan Teacher Wrong to Eject Students for Anti-Gay Remarks?
Someone was bullied in a Michigan classroom on Oct. 20. Exactly who was the victim and who was the bully, however, depends on your point of view.

Popular opinion -- at least as it was expressed at a community forum held Nov. 8 -- says Howell High School teacher Jay McDowell was in the right.

McDowell was suspended for a day, his supporters say, because he defended gay and lesbian students against hate speech. However, district officials say he violated the First Amendment rights of students.

Do you think the teacher went a little too far?

    This is just stupid. free speech doesn't mean you can say whatever you want with no punishment. The teacher was in the right and should be awarded not punished. I wonder if people who say that the teacher did infringe on the students free speech would say the same thing if i yelled out I have a bomb.
