Do you think the prof. at Emmanuel College should have been fired?
Asked by JAM2DMBnews.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070423/ap_on_re_us/professor_fired Winset, 37, argued that the Catholic liberal arts school was stifling free discussion by firing him, and he said the move would have a "chilling effect" on open debate. He posted an 18-minute video on the online site YouTube defending his action. The college issued a statement saying: "Emmanuel College has clear standards of classroom and campus conduct, and does not in any way condone the use of discriminatory or obscene language." Student Junny Lee, 19, told The Boston Globe that most students didn't appear to find Winset's demonstration offensive.

I don't think what he did was appropriate but firing him was way over the top. He should have been suspended without pay for 3 days and told that he had a right to express his opinion about something other than what he was supposed to be teaching but not in that classroom. They aren't paying him to express his personal opinions.
