School Board Moves to Fire Viki Knox, NJ Teacher Who Called Homosexuality a 'Perverted Sin' on Facebook

Remember Viki Knox, the New Jersey teacher who came under fire last September for calling homosexuality a "perverted sin" that "breeds like cancer" and attacking a school display recognizing Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender History Month?

Viki_knoxThe Union Township School District has made its first steps toward firing her:

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.

Wrote Knox on her Facebook page:

"Homosexuality is a perverted spirit that has existed from the beginning of creation. The word of God refers to it often. That's if you believe the Word to be truly God's intended blueprint for his people. I have friends and loved ones who are practicing/ living as homosexuals. Yes I love can care about them. We hug and exchange gifts. We have family dinners. But how they live and their actions, behaviors -CHOICES are against the nature and character of God! Do I tell me so? Yes, of course. Do I treat them bad? If course not! Jesus never did that to ANYONE he meant. He spoke to them of their situation and offered them life eternal. He didn't say it was okay but we've all sinned and come short if God's will for us daily. That's why we Christians true followers pray, repent, and spend time with Christ daily. The Word of God instructs us to die daily to our flesh-meaning our will. What we want; what feels good to us; what we like; what we can rationalize and justify. I do not pretend to know ALL things. Nor do I pretend not to have biases, failings and faults. But I know sin and it breeds like cancer!"

And this woman is a high school ENGLISH teacher

I hope she goes. If you want to be an anti-gay asshole, then go wash cars for a living DONT teach kids.

Facebook is the devil.

She's entitled to her free speech on FB, but she didn't do herself any favors.

My boss (in my opinion, the worst manager I've ever had in my life) got herself into a big kettle of hot water at work a few years ago for posting a long hateful diatribe against employees and union workers in general, on My Space. One of my co-workers snooped into her page, and let's just say that it circulated throughout City Hall.

She managed to keep her job due to 'free speech'. But did she, indeedy, stir up worse hostility in the work place, and that's where HR (who rarely slaps the wrist of management) came down hard on her.

As long as she was not spewing her ideas on the kids, i don't feel she should be fired. She is entitled to her opinion. I would be more concerned with her teaching abilities. It is difficult enough now to be a teacher with kids who are so disrespectful, and bringing drugs and guns to school. I would hate to lose a good teacher because she disagrees with people.

as far as her english/grammar... i am assuming that rant has been copied/pasted and perhaps edited over and over... so that MIGHT not be how she writes.

Andy posted it himself. I'm pretty sure he got it from the source.

Firing her for something like that is a bit much. They should have just told her not to do it again.
