Jerry Buell suspension rescinded, Buell back in classroom tomorrow morning, Florida Lake County School Board

On  August 23, 2011 Citizen Wells reported:

“Jerry Buell suspended from Mount Dora High School, Facebook comments about gay marriage, Mount Dora, Florida, First Amendment rights”

“A Florida teacher has been suspended and removed from the classroom in Mount Dora, Florida, for comments made on his Facebook page against homosexual “marriage.” Liberty Counsel will be representing the teacher in court.

In response to New York’s passage of a same-sex marriage bill, Jerry Buell criticized the new law in a pair of Facebook posts. He wrote, “If they want to call it a union, go ahead. But don’t insult a man and woman’s marriage by throwing it in the same cesspool of whatever. God will not be mocked. When did this sin become acceptable?””

“It appears that not only do members of Congress need to read the US Constitution but also “educators.” The Constitution should be read in every school across the nation at the beginning of each school year.”

I just received an email from American Family Association.

“Because of your action, public school drops suspension of Christian teacher
AFA Action Alert put pressure on school board to respond immediately
August 24, 2011”

“On Monday, AFA asked you to take action on behalf of Florida teacher Jerry Buell, who was unconstitutionally suspended by the Lake County school administration for posting his support for traditional marriage on his Facebook page.

Directly related to your taking action, along with other Christians, sending tens of thousands of emails to the Lake County School Board, the school has immediately rescinded its suspension of Mr. Buell and he will be back in his classroom tomorrow morning!

According to a just-held press conference by Mr. Buell and his legal representation, Liberty Counsel Attorney Harry Mihet, outside the Lake County Board of Education Administration Building, the school board acknowledged it violated Mr. Buell’s First Amendment rights by suspending him.

Your willingness to become involved in speaking out on behalf of religious liberties expedited Mr. Buell’s case. There is no doubt this case will have an impact on hundreds of other public schools who challenge educator’s right to share their closely held religious views in society.

Your actions made the difference!

Please consider making a small donation in support the work of the AFA Action Alert. Your donation will insure your voice for religious liberty continues to be heard.
Sincerely,

Tim Wildmon, President
American Family Association”

  1. JOHN LENNON LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY – GIVE PEACE A CHANCE & FINAL CREDITS

  2. Prediction:

    Hillary will be the demRat nominee in 2012 as a result of one of the following scenarios:

    1) Billary will get bo indicted in Federal Court. Thus making it impossible for him to wage another winning campaign against her.

    2) bo will announce that Hillary will be his VP choice in 2012 and he will resign sometime prior to the election.

    3) Biden will resign and bo will select Hillary as the new VP.

    4) Who knows what EVIL lurks in the hearts of demRats?

    The problem with all these scenarios except #4 is that bo is subject to indictment in County Courts in every Conservative County in the US. So keep up the pressure Patriots.

  3. SueK….Stay safe, prayers are with ya and all others on the east coast.

    Cabby….We know you are not an obot.. Your posts are always so well thought out and concisely expressed. Keep up the great work.

    It is now essentially a two-person race between Perry and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. And given the general Republican discontent with Romney—especially his flip-flops on issues like abortion and for creating the prequel to ObamaCare in Massachusetts—I think Perry will win the nomination.

  5. CW,
    You did the right thing, and made a difference. Good for you and your website. People have a right to an opinion, even about gay marriage, and the Constitution says we have to respect that right to an opinion. Freedom of speech isn’t something reserved for progressives, it must be protected for everyone or it means nothing. The same is true about our private lives.

    Pete

  6. cw…Thank You …for such a wonderful story. We must never give in. We must fight for our Christian faith! No more being silent when a sister or brother is in need.

    God Bless our Troops and Veterans and the ones who has given their lives for us. We will never forget.

  7. This is just the latest example of CW’s good work. He and Dr. Sewell literally saved my life.

    I admire Rubio but IMHO it would be a mistake for Perry to pick him. It is just too easy for Hillary to say that she looked at her friend Phil Berg’s evidence and discovered that bo was not qualified to be President, then launch an attack on Perry/Rubio.

    IMHO Gov. Susana Martinez is the best choice for VP for whomever wins the GOP nomination. The Florida Polls already show Perry beating bo. He doesn’t need Rubio to win Florida.

    Martinez is a Hispanic Catholic and former Democrat. Rubio is a Cuban member of some small Protestant Church. Also Martinez is a prominent name in the Hispanic Community. Have you ever heard of anyone named Rubio before Rubio? Rubio doesn’t even sound like a Hispanic name.

  11. Uh, rubio is Spanish for blonde. Come on.

  12. CW………Great work.
    I am hopeful that the SLIME who perpetrated the Buell suspension has felt a little of his/her own manure rammed down their own throat for a change. Wonder if he/she enjoyed the FLAVOR. A$$holes pure and simple.

  13. While I am hesitant to criticise ALL public school systems regarding their policies, I do believe that ANY school system which either allows it’s policies to be perverted, or deliberately structures their policies so as to limit or otherwise impede a teacher’s Constitutional rights, does indeed HAVE A PROBLEM NEEDING ATTENTION. This sort of crap is a DIRECT RESULT of the DEMOCRATIC LIBERAL INFLUENCE within our public school systems. Their sick influence is also responsible for much of the sordid acts of perpetrating the hand out of condoms to 1st graders, and assorted other deviate practices involving our children in the classroom. Many of the public school systems have even KNOWINGLY hired REGISTERED SEX offenders to work in public school staffing.

  14. I was really angered when I read about Buell being suspended. Thanks CW for seeing through the LIBERAL SLIME pit. You have only scratched the surface. This LIBERAL INFLUENCE literally pervades our entire educational systems. This includes our colleges and universities, as well. This is one facet of the reason why we have a DUMBED DOWN society filled with so called YUPPIES whose minds have been twisted by the educational systems. The dumbed down yuppies are the largest cross section of Soetoro supporters.

  15. Manning is EXACTLY RIGHT when he describes the illegality of our troops being in Libya, and perhaps the actions of our troops in ALL of the rest of the war theatres as well. If the alleged CINC doesn’t have the LEGAL RIGHT to hold the position as CINC, ANY ORDERS, DIRECTIVES,OR POLICIES WHICH HE INVOLVES HIMSELF WITH ARE NOT LEGAL,AND ANY MILITARY OFFICER HAS THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO EITHER QUESTION SUCH ORDERS,OR DIRECTLY REFUSE TO CARRY OUT THOSE ORDERS. IF HE/SHE DOES CARRY OUT ILLEGALLY ISSUED ORDERS THEY COULD BE ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED BY THE WORLD COURT AS WAR CRIMINALS…….JUST AS WERE THE NAZI PERPETRATORS OF WW2

  16. …………….The prior comment also applies to Soetoro as well. He could be charged by any country in which there are US troops. He could find himself being arrested by interpol,and could endup facing prosecution by the Hague. Furthermore any followers or SUPPORTERS can also be prosecuted in the same vane. So watch out Harry Reid,Richard Durbin, MMMMSSSS. Pelosi.Mr.Soetoro,Mr.Leahey,and all the other close supporters……….there might be a GARROTE which has your name on it…..at the Hague.
