There are many controversial issues in society and people are always free to express their opinions. Teachers always teach students to communicate their ideas freely and to respect the opinions of others. In order to effectively raise future generations, they must understand that people can have differences of opinion on many issues. As long as teachers' public opinions are not debated in the classroom, they should be allowed to express them freely. Controversial issues are always discussed on public forums and on social networks that students and parents have access to. They understand that people can have differences of opinion and that they should respect their opinions as long as they do not interfere with their rights. By expressing their opinions on controversial topics on social networks, teachers do not interfere with the personal rights of their students. They can only infringe on these rights if they discuss their opinions in class. In the classroom, controversial issues should be presented fairly and without bias, as it is the teacher's responsibility to ensure that all students feel comfortable in the classroom. Teachers are part of society and they are allowed to contribute to societal change. They should be free to express their opinions on issues, as well as their tastes and attitudes. So it was a mistake to suspend Jerry Buell for his opposing comments about homosexuals.
