There is, however, a place for free speech.
Yup. Just not hate speech.

The teacher that needs to be fired is the grade school teacher in the commercial about booking your vacation. The kids are turning the classroom upside down including one kid in a fish tank and she stands there and whines about her vacation. I truly HATE that commercial.

Even hate speech.
Should this teacher also be fired?

What if that teaching believed that Trump must die -- that someone needs to kill him for the US to get back on track. That okay?
Quoting the bible is "hate speech"? You are being absurd
He's telling the students that the Bible tells us this.

If you fail to make this distinction, you will have a chilling effect on education, my friends.
Nice goalpost move. Saying the president should be kille is illegal. Saying anyone should be killed is illegal.
You went straight to stupidville on that one. :lamo
committing homosexual acts “deserve to die,”
So to you tolerance is tolerating a teacher telling his or her students that they deserve to die if they're "sinners"? If a muslim teacher started telling his kids that if they don't accept allah they deserve to die, you'd be ok with that, right?
So when she said all of her students that don't believe the same thing as her deserve to die, that wasn't a death threat, but when people demanded she be fired, that was a death threat? Some people will skewer reality immensely to try to protect their religion.
This has to do with a letter to the editor in the student newspaper, not with the classroom.No, if this is a public school and this is allowed, THAT has a chilling effect. You do not teach religious doctrine in a public school. Period.
Yes, you have free speech, but when you are an employee that restricts your "free speech". You cannot just say what you want at a work place and not suffer any consequences. Telling students that homosexuals deserve to die, IMO, he should be reprimanded in some way.
Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, He abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done. Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy. They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them too.
Is that actually in the bible? I don't remember anything like that, but I'm not a scholar on it either.
I write you these things in order to lift up those who have stumbled, or may stumble, and put you back on the right path.
I pray you each have a great summer, a wonderful life, and a perfect eternity.
I don't think he should be fired, but I do think he should be scrutinized more closely by the school district after this. This concerns me that he's doing things which are unacceptable due to his religious beliefs.
If the bible says that gay people deserve to die then the bible is guilty of hate speech. Quoting hate speech is hate speech.

From the OP:
See where I went or do you need me to pull out my crayolas and draw you a picture?

Context is everything:
Need me to write out the definition of "context" in crayon for you, so it will be in an intellectual presentation you'll comprehend? What about "lie"?
Stop running so hard for stupidville.
I understand context so much better than you do. So much batter
People have a right to an opinion as much as that opinion may have consequences. For this guy, teaching children that are gay obviously poses a problem here. The school has a right to hand out consequences to this very real dilemma.
