TechnoratiDrake, a former national leader of the Southern Baptist Convention, agreed with Farnan that Corbett should be removed from his teaching job.
"I'm tired of being criticized and ostracized for being a Christian. I'm glad Chad filed his suit. It's time we Christians fought back," the pastor said.
The Rev. Rod McDougal, who came up from San Diego for the prayer vigil, said they don’t just want the history instructor “strung up” but they “want him fired.”
Ressler declined direct comment on the suit.
“I care very deeply for the student who raised the issue,” said Ressler, according to the Capistrano Dispatch. “In fairness we need to let the process take its course. I’m not interested in a public debate.”
The Capistrano Unified School District released a statement this week saying it was "reviewing this situation as we do with any parental concern” and didn’t want to “prejudge any of the facts.”
It also noted that Corbett was an experienced teacher who “has a strong record of ensuring student achievement, as demonstrated by Advanced Placement test scores," the statement read.
School administrators described the protests as peaceful and said students went to class on time.
