We seem to be missing the boat on this one. In my first post, I mentioned TWO DISTINCT STORIES, one about the art teacher, and one about the Army of Jesus. Two different stories, same "fundamental" source.
I refererenced them both, because, in my opinion, they are both examples of religious fervor. Two different articles, same root cause. You do not buy my argument that, given the facts we know (art teacher fired shortly after taking students to museum and getting complaints from parent, location of said action, majority religion (and political power) in said area, and history of similar cases in the recent past) that it is more probable than not that it was a religious reason for the firing. I still think that is the most likely reason for the firing. That's fair. (You're wrong, but you are allowed your opinion based on incomplete evidence and your best guess). All of the items above in my opinion point to it. I cannot see any specific items that point to another cause. Money is a potential, I agree. Do we have any recent examples of teachers being fired like this in order to lighten the staffing budget? Is it a thing that happens in Texas at the moment? Does this incident look like others where this happened? Are other teachers who have been there longer, or get paid more, also getting fired? Perhaps the teacher is sleeping with someone's husband or wife (or just stopped sleeping with them). Perhaps the teacher was busted for drugs or illegal alien smuggling, or threw a rock at the Principal. But I have seen no data which points to any of these other explanations yet. I will be looking for them, though. On 9/27/06, C. Hatton Humphrey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The truth of the matter is the fact that WE DO NOT KNOW THE WHOLE > STORY.

But the two are not in any way shape or form related. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:216236 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
