Hot debate

A Social Studies teacher from Overland High School was audiotaped by one of his students during a lecture. In the lecture, the teacher made some comments comparing President Bush to Hitler. The teacher ended up getting suspended, and a huge debate ensued inside the school. Students supporting both sides of the situation walked out of school in protest. He will resume teaching tomorrow, and although there was a disciplinary consequence for him, the local Board of Education has not revealed what it is.

Obviously, this is a sticky situation. If you were one of the administrators, what would you have done? If you were attending this school, do you think you would support the administration's actions or not?
