I don't think that Mr. Latham would appreciate some of these comments.. In fact, I think he would be the first to tell you how great Lawrence, Kansas is. He's always said that he loves this city, but there are always some people who cannot open up to opposite viewpoints. This happens on both sides of the political spectrum.

While he is conservative, I've never seen Mr. Latham push any agenda. He's a good man- conservative or otherwise. He's certainly won the respect of this liberal student.

First they fire a teacher for being too liberal (sorry, reassign) then they let go one for being to conservative? What about the history teacher I had who never taught history and just spouted his political views everyday? Now he should have been fired. I think it is best when teachers do not bring their political beliefs into the classroom.

Thanks tre for the comment you made. I was just reading some of the comments here and what you said was so true about enduring and not to run. Although sometimes extremely difficult to do we must stand strong in the victory of Jesus. Sometimes it's the people closest to us or call themselves Christian that give us a hard time but God's got a plan for each individual and we are accountible for what He's telling us to do in our own lives. Thanks again, Ellyn

I had a history teacher during the last presidency who said that "Bush is the antichrist." The antichrist is much worse than Hitler. When the school boars heard about what he said, they quoted the freedom of speech ammendment and the teacher wasn't even reprimmanded.

Typical!

Lawrence, Kansas the liberal wacko corner of Kansas where the homosexual agenda is crammed down everyones throat and liberals reign supreme. More people like Mr. Latham need to stand up and teach the youth of America what it is like to be a true American. The people who should be fired are the Human Resources Director and the other teacher who complained about his conservtive website.

congrats on gettng Lathams job back. Now get rid of the people that originally took him out.

Way to go Lawrence, KS -- get yourself on the front page by proving how fascist your extreme liberalism really is. This situation is so indicative of the socio-political climate of Lawrence. The liberals here are extremely arrogant and narrow minded - the exact opposite of what they imagine themselves to be. Tolerance is not a one way street, Lawrence.

Does anybody know the website URL that caused all the controversy?

The good guys have won this time. Latham is reinstated.

UPDATE - Mr Latham got his job back! Yaaaaaa!!

Congratulations Lawrence, Kansas School Board. You have done more to teach (and warn) your students about the dangers of tyranny than Tim Latham ever could have.

America has become a frightening place to live. If you don't tow the 'progressive' line, you stand a good chance of being oppressed and marginalized. Free speech is no longer allowed due to the oppressive restrictions of 'political correctness'. America used to be the hope of the world, where can we go now to enjoy freedom?

It's Liberal Fascism. When you're hated because you don't belong to a political party, that's fascism. Look at what happened to Miss California. She shares the same views as Obama yet she's relentlessly attacked for speaking her mind.

I get called Uncle Tom because I'm not a "Liberal." We are living in a new fascist era. We defeated their armies, but not their ideology. We need to do both.

thomaserossi - The name calling is everywhere and is designed to shut down your freedom of expression, speech, and thought. It's easier to destroy you, make up lies about you, and call you names than it is to engage you in thoughtful dialog and debate. No, that would require thought.

I don't know if the anonymity of the Internet is what has contributed to bringing us down to this level or what, but I know it's not good for any of us as a people.
