You clearly do not understand what "Freedom of Speech" stands for. It does not stand for anyone can say anything anywhere. There are some limitations such as safety...yelling fire in a crowded theater is the common example used here. Another limitation is when the speech violates the Constitution and The Bill of Rights. As an employee of the government a government school teacher can not proselytize to their students as it violates the First Amendment. The teacher is of course free to do so on their own time somewhere other then school where they no longer are wearing the hat of a government employee. If you want to interpret protecting the First Amendment as a "gag order" that is your choice but it only shows your lack of understanding of the First Amendment. Why should a teacher be afraid of their lectures being recorded if they aren't doing anything wrong? These are not private conversations we are talking about here and saying "public school classroom" is not the same as saying "public square". A more accurate description would be a "government school classroom". You don't know what was said but "can easily imagine that the teacher's words were presented in a false light"? Now who is being presumptuous? You can add that I should be ashamed of myself...but standing up for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and supporting those that do the same is nothing to be ashamed of. Participating? No! Using the government to push a religious agenda in direct violation of the Bill of Rights? Yes! Oh things like "If you reject his gift of salvation, then you know where you belong" and "He did everything in his power to make sure that you could go to heaven, so much so that he took your sins on his own body, suffered your pains for you, and he’s saying, ‘Please, accept me, believe.’ If you reject that, you belong in hell."....you know...stuff like that. Where did you get the idea that free speech is a faith-based concept?
