The way I look at nonsense like this, is that it just wasn't meant to be.

 

If the school is going to be that backwards, then it's probably not an organization he (or anyone) needs to be involved with anyway.

 

I'm sure he'll move on to bigger and better things.

Good grief. Let those who haven't sinned cast the first stone.

If they get their panties so bunched up about this, you'd think they school would have checked out his social media accounts before they hired him. Sanctimonious butt heads.

I used to laugh at my lawyers reasoning for not having any social media.

The article says they knew about the photo, but it didn't become an issue until another parent complained about it. Good to see the parents are running the school and not the administrators.


Like pirkster said, this is probably more of a blessing for Fernando.

That's what happens when you sign on with Zealot High School in the first place.

When I read the headline earlier I was thinking it would've been something way worse than the photo I saw. 

 

People get outraged over the weirdest things, I wonder how many of the weirdo parents that complained have cabinets full of liquor.

This is why stupid, "holier than thou" people drive me nuts! I bet he has grounds for a lawsuit. He didn't do anything against the law, he didn't hurt anyone, he did nothing wrong. In the bible, didn't Jesus turn water into wine? So..... what's the problem?

It's not so much the holier than thou mindset as it is the pandering to political correctness. If a school is willing to part ways with an employee over a photo as fake as this because it offends someone,that's not a school worth sending a child to.
Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Lol people are ridiculous. I know someone who is principal at a school in a town (think its a village technically) with population of about 2000 and she gets complaints from parents about her having a drink or two with dinner or during Monday night football.


And quite often those parents are at the same establishment drinking as well WITH their children present, but the principal having a drink is somehow a problem.

Agreed. If this was a Catholic school, this wouldn't even be an issue.

Welcome to the modern day where people have learned to be "offended" by the simplest and stupidest of things.

 

I could say a lot more about the origins, but due to the forum and the jack booted admins, I will refrain.


What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
