    Jerry Buell, a highly respected Florida public

    school teacher, voiced his opposition to "same-s*x

    marriage" on his personal Facebook account. Now,

    the 22-year veteran teacher is fighting for his

    right to teach - and Liberty Counsel has come

    to his defense! Read the chilling details of

    this travesty below - Mat.

    When Jerry Buell, last year's "Teacher of the Year" at

    Mount Dora High School in Florida, saw that New York had

    legalized "same-sex marriage," he did what many people

    did. He expressed his disapproval on the Facebook social

    media network - on his personal time, his personal

    computer, and on his personal page.

    Buell commented that homosexuality is wrong and

    that seeing two "grooms" kissing on a news story

    revolted him.

    A former student from his school saw his post, took offense,

    and "reported" him to school system officials.

    Now, Jerry Buell is fighting for reinstatement!

    Citing an ethics code violation pending an investigation,

    the Lake County School District responded by taking away

    his teaching privileges and reassigning him to administrative

    duties.

    ++Liberty Counsel quickly moved to defend Jerry Buell's

    rights!

    Liberty Counsel is now representing Mr. Buell and demanding

    that he be immediately reinstated with an apology for

    violating his First Amendment rights. The school district's

    response to Buell's comments is unconstitutional, violating

    his right to free speech.

    Harry Mihet, Senior Litigation Counsel for Liberty Counsel,

    is spearheading Jerry Buell's defense. Here's what our

    organization said in a widely-distributed news release:

    "Public school teachers are not constitutional

    orphans. They, like all Americans, enjoy the

    freedom to engage in discourse about matters of

    public concern. Mr. Buell is being investigated

    and punished for communicating his mainstream

    objection to homosexual marriage, an objection

    shared by a large majority of his fellow Floridians

    who have outlawed homosexual marriage through a

    constitutional amendment. If the First Amendment

    does not protect Mr. Buell's right to voice his

    personal opinion, on his personal time, from his

    personal computer, on his personal Facebook page,

    then the First Amendment means nothing."

    Groups who are pushing "same-sex marriage" and "marriage

    equality" are claiming ANY speech that is contrary to their

    viewpoint is considered "hate speech" and should be censored.

    The Lake County School District School is out of line with

    their suspension and treatment of Mr. Buell. This persecution

    must stop!

    When I think of my Liberty Counsel team, I think of our

    constant call for all Americans to display moral courage

    in defending their God-given, blood-bought liberties.

    Jerry Buell has been a teacher for more than 22 years and

    served as the Social Studies Department Chair at Mount Dora

    High School. Buell has always been open to students,

    including those who identify themselves as being homosexual,

    about his conservative principles. But he has never forced

    his beliefs on anyone.

    His suspension is an attack on the character and

    integrity of a gifted educator and his First-

    Amendment rights as a United States Citizen!

    Please support Liberty Counsel's efforts to bring about a

    quick resolution through our defense of Jerry Buell!

    Jerry Buell is a gifted educator, a good citizen among many

    others who are being persecuted in the name of "political

    correctness" by a small number of pro-homosexual activists.

    This type of assault on First Amendment rights - and labeling

    pro-moral Americans' comments as "hate speech" - is becoming

    epidemic in America. Such vicious attacks are creating an

    unprecedented number of cases for Liberty Counsel as we

    defend persecuted educators and others free of charge.

    As I've said before, the reality is that we are

    facing powerful and dangerous adversaries on the

    battlefield for liberty.

  • He got his job back.

  • Where should I start? Horrible traffic, crime, poor schools, corrupt politicians, terrible summer weather, hurricanes, nazi HOA's, postage stamp size lots for the price of an acre anywhere else but CA, illegal aliens jabbering in spanish, and toll roads in every direction. What's to like, the beach that I never get to visit?

    Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Zombo lives there ?

  • I looked into moving to both Jacksonville and Pensacola. Neither one will do though. Jacksonville is kind of ugly. The only thing going for it is the bases nearby which I could use my retirement benefits. Pensacola is ok, but real close to Alabama and REDNECK good ole boys. I talked to a few of my friends who retired there and they said besides the beach, there really isn't much to do. Maybe I'll move to Colorado Springs. Have the Air Force Base, Mountains, and 4 seasons.

  • Has anyone ever ate at a place called Taco Ardiente? The first time I had it was about 12 years ago in Ft Myers but I guess there popping up all over the place now.

  • Zombo said:

    Naples is awesome. Orlando ... shit hole.

    Zombo

    You said it.

    I also like St. Augustine, Destin, Pensacola, Fort Walton Beach.. but that's it. The rest is a shit hole.

    Sounds like a plan.

    Wait a minute.

    I like Alabama.....just behind Tennessee and Florida.

    Embrace Ala.....those are the folks that are going to save your ass.

    With the shitstorm that's brewing, you better hope Southerners get riled up.

    Somebody has to start the cause and save this country.

    To each their own. I prefer the North and four seasons myself.

  • no i agree with bllpeen. driving down the east coast ny york state of mind....just don't get off the bus/train or pull off the road in mississsippi at 3 in the morn to get a pack of smokes.

    ever see the 'first 48'?

  • sorry i forgot to leave this gem...besides all the spics and cubans they got big fat flies that jump on you.

  • Rural southern Ohio is like another country to me. The actual south would be even worse

  • "Illegal aliens jibbering in Spanish"

    Bad reason not to like somewhere.

    If that's how you'd feel you'd shoot yourself in Ann Arbor

  • Oh well, that is my opinion, and I'm entitled to it.

    Florida's lone saving grace is St. Augustine, but now there's too many homeless people there. Homelessness is a sad state of affairs. But it's a great city with great beaches nearby.

  • Free Shoe University. This is going to be my backup med school. I want to go to a place where the beer flows like wine. A place where women wear bikinis year round. Gainesville, you may very well be the place I call home in two years.

    I like my doctors drunk.

  • Florida isn't so bad. Disney, that was fun. I was on the company's tab, no less...@@

    Pretty water at the beach. Little long nosed fish swimming....

    sand so hot you can't walk barefoot..... the humidity is unbearable in the summer.

    When we went on the cruise, we flew to florida. Nice air conditioned jet. Nice air conditioned

    walkway to airport. Nice conditioned airport. Nice air conditioned shuttle bus to cruise ship terminal.

    Then, standing in line with luggage with a bunch of friends... we all decided that we walked into

    an oven set at 350 degrees for baking ribs.

    Oh yeah. Florida is a *&&^%$&%$^ hole alright.😠

    Well it's been over 4 yrs is it getting any better?
  • I've been to Florida many times. At least 20. The first time Epcot Centre wasn't even there.

    The heat is overrated. It only seems to bother the old people. And that's almost everyone there. I always wondered why old people moved there in the first place.

    A family friend owns a house there. The neighborhood was nice back in the late 70 to mid 80's. Then it became a drug fueled piece of garbage. He never sold it and since about 2004 it became a nice place again.

    The friend has recently passed away, so I probably won't get to go there again

  • I've been to Pensacola on vacation on time. I was a total tourist.
