This teacher, assuming this is what he did, has lost the trust of the students and the parents. He cannot teach. There are rules, perhaps they are unspoken and unwritten, but they are there. A teacher cannot be a bully. This teacher, if this is what he did, is nothing more than a bully, and the lesson he is teaching is that it's okay to bully someone who does not agree with you. Maybe certain government officials (cheap crack, I know) think that this kind of behavior is acceptable, but I most certainly do not. This behavior, assuming this actually happened (I can't stress that enough) is unacceptable.
Ask yourself, Jim, if it happened in your daughter's classroom, not to your daughter, but to her classmate, would you want your daughter in this teacher's class? Would you want anyone in his class? I think that's the way you have to look at it. A class room is not a frat house.
