NEW JERSEY: School Board Moves To Fire Anti-Gay Teacher Viki "Facebook" Knox

The school board of Union Township, New Jersey is moving to dismiss Viki Knox, the teacher who posted a nasty anti-gay diatribe on her Facebook page. After Knox was suspended, Christians activists deluged the school board with complaints.

The Union Township school board has filed tenure charges against Viki Knox, the high school English teacher whose anti-gay remarks on Facebook raised a firestorm over her free speech rights and her role as a public school teacher. The board formally filed the charges against Knox in late December, a step that begins the lengthy and costly process to fire Knox, school board president Ray Perkins said. He could not comment on the findings of the district's three-month investigation of Knox's conduct.

In her Facebook post, Knox had described gay people as "perverted spirits" whose sin "breeds like cancer." She has already become a folk hero to the anti-gay industry and will surely be canonized should her termination go through.
