Social Studies teacher Jerry Buell is now back in the classroom at Mt. Dora High School in Florida. He was suspended earlier this summer over critical comments on his Facebook page over New York’s new gay marriage laws, but has now been reinstated after a legal fight. Why was Buell suspended? Why did the school district reverse itself and bring him back to the classroom? And at what point should one’s opinions expressed away from the job impact their employment status? We discuss is all with Harry Mihet, senior litigation counsel at Liberty Counsel. He served as the attorney for Mr. Buell.
