I don't think anyone should be fired for what they do on their own time.

The New York Post has more credibility than most liberal rags.

We're talking about the NY Post vs. actual news sources. It has nothing to do with a conservative vs. liberal ideology. It's a tabloid.

Source is irrelevant in this instance. This isn't an opinion piece - a lawsuit has been filed. The article is filled with quotes and facts related to the case.

Just because a story isn't in a gay newsletter doesn't mean it isn't reliable.

Funny, I heard that he was fired for subletting his school provided apartment, and leaving students unattended. Seems to me that he better be able to back up his claims, because schools don't generally let anyone go without dotting all of their I's and crossing all of their T's.

Guess we will find out when the case is heard.

And THIS is why the source is important. Tabloids are not news, and I'll wait to see it in a news source.

If true, this person has a case against the boss. That's why we have laws that protect against sexual orientation discrimination. Believe it or not laws protecting race, religion, sex, sexual orientation work in ALL directions.


THAT'S something you won't know reading your silly right wing blogs and propaganda news sites.

Trinity School backs sports chief accused of firing coach for being straight - NY Daily News

There is one other source.

Kenney was dismissed in 2012 over what he says were bogus charges concocted by Krieger that he had illegally sublet his school-provided apartment and left students unsupervised.
We hear all of the time how hard it is to fire a teacher. I'm sure if the school fired him, they made sure their info was checked and backed up.

If he was fired for being gay, I'm sure you wouldn't be so eager to support the notion that the school district did everything on the up-and-up.
