Muslim School Fires Christian Coach

you do realize that the OP says pretty much the exact same thing as your quote, right?

oh, and your opinion as to the legitimacy of the source of the OP means two things to me- see if you can guess what they are.

It's a public school. We've only heard the coaches side of the story though, who knows why he was really fired?

The Muslim dude has a screw loose though if he thinks he can fire someone because of his religious beliefs and conversion rate.

No it doesn't. Too bad you didn't bother to read both articles before saying that.

from the OP-"Marszalek’s contract was not renewed because of his association with a Christian volunteer coach, Trey Hancock, who the principal accused of converting a Muslim student to Christianity during a summer camp not connected with the school or Coach Marszalek"

Lawsuit Filed Against Dearborn Schools and Muslim Principal Over Firing of Legendary Christian Wrestling Coach*|*Catholic Exchange

from DFP-"A former high school wrestling coach who is Christian filed a lawsuit Monday against Dearborn Public Schools and a high school principal who is Muslim, saying he was terminated because of his association with an assistant who had helped convert a Muslim student to Christianity."

feel free to tell me all about the vast differences in the two.

I agree, and it appears that this was a public school and a teacher with tenure. The superintendent has stated that religion didn't play a role in the firing. Guess we'll see.

It appears that the student who converted was not yet a student at the high school and that he was attending a private wrestling camp, according to the lawsuit.

This should be interesting to see how it unfolds. I don't think the school can legally comment on a pending case though.

Mine does not give information as to whether the assistant was or was not employed by the school system or what the coach's involvement with the alleged conversion is supposed to have been.

Mine does not mention the incident where the principal is alleged to have punched the student.


But check Officer Crowley's report. I'm sure you'll get all the facts there.

The one somewhat unbiased news report I read stated he wasn't a teacher with tenure but someone used as needed, or at will...something to that effect. His contract was renewable and the school choose not to renew it.

are you this stupid in real life?

Clearly. After all, I read a few web pages on the subject, making me an expert on Christianity and Christian scripture.

My source said this. Does your say he had tenure, etc?

David Mustonen, a spokesman for Dearborn Public Schools, said the district had not seen the complaint and would have to review it before making any comment. Marszalek is an at-will employee and not protected under the union contract, so the principal has the right not to extend his contract, Mustonen said. Fadlallah could not be reached for comment.

No, I hadn't read that last bit. I can't remember which article said he was tenured (I tend to skim through a bunch looking for the common thread), but I'll post it if I can find it.

I think at-will is a description of the state policies. But I"m not completely certain of whether he had tenure or not. I don't think it matters to the case much, though. If he can show discrimination based on religion, it doesn't really matter whether it's an at-will contract or not.
