Well, I hope that you believe in kismet.
Isn't there a thread about Cuba you can go start somewhere?
It's about Kismet. And I believe.

I wonder what his tirade had to do with sports. I can imagine his team staring at him with blank expressions on their faces.
I don't know what that thing is but I want it dead.
I can't.
Unless he tries to indoctrinate his students and players with his views, he is entitled to his opinions and to voice them away from his place of employment.
If we held college professors to the same standard, most colleges would have to close. Indoctrination is their main business.
Yes and no.
Yes, he's entitled to his opinions away from work.
He posted this letter on his personal Facebook page. The question would be--does his personal Facebook page identify him as the lacrosse coach of his school? If so, it gets a bit murkier.
An entry like:
"Scott Lees, Fryeburg Academy lacrosse coach" and then the letter published on the same page could be a problem.
Mr. Lees was also the person that maintained the school's lacrosse Facebook page, though apparently he didn't post the letter there.
Yes and with all the talk of bakeries and people being allowed to provide services for the public the same applies to a school and who they want representing them.
I doubt the leftists here will agree with you and me. Free speech is not their thing...unless it's speech they agree with.
Free speech does not equal freedom from consequence.
Especially when the left is offended.
If it had been an anti-Christian tirade, here's betting he would still have his job.

Everything he said was blatantly untrue and unnecessarily hostile towards a certain group of people and the school which is open to all races and religions does not want to be associated with that. Am I leftist because I don't subscribe to the incorrect ramblings of some guy with an axe to grind with a certain group of people? Sign me up then. I'd rather be called a leftist than some braindead drone who will willingly swallow lies and falsehoods to advance this Muslim hating campaign which is all that idiot's speech was.
Everything else you said is a hypothetical which is not really conversation worthy. This isn't even some right vs. left issue; it's just some random guy saying stupid things and getting fired for it. Such is life.

The person who wrote the op was responding to the ridiculous statement made by Obama.
So what?
Unless he's trying to indoctrinate his students or his players to his views, he's entitled to his opinion.
It's called free speech and I knew you wouldn't like it.
Well of course he's entitled to his opinion but the school is also entitled to theirs. Unfortunately for this guy, the school is the one that will stop writing checks. :wavey:
I suggest you bone up on what freedom of speech means. You seem to be a little ignorant on this issue.
Also, not sure why are you siding with the guy who is spewing propaganda for the enemy. It's really bizarre how people will stick with this guy even though Baptist Believer tore his premise to absolute shreds on the first page. :laugh:
Wow, I guess he really showed Obama didn't he. :tonofbricks:
As noted before, leftists do not believe in free speech, unless they agree with it.
You bear that out.
