FIX IT. This is a school not a place for discrimination.

Total garbage. Someone needs to investigate this immediately before another good teacher loses their job for no reason.

LAUSD needs to be held accountable for this. It is a bunch of cowards running things over there.

Ridiculous that this is still happening in 2008. Teachers should be judged on how they teach not their religion.

This is so wrong. Nobody should have to deal with this because of where they are from or what they believe.
