And please do not let worrying about whether you might offend him in the process be an issue.

I don't agree with the teacher at all BUT he is a high school teacher and the students should be encouraged to explore teachings other than in the books.
Two problems, though. First and foremost is that students are allowed to have camera phones in school. Phones should be banned during school hours.
Secondly, a dress code should be in place so NO sweatshirts or tee shirts with ANY graphics allowed. What is pleasing to one person may be insulting to another person.
The teacher was elected to his Counsil seat. He sounds like a jerk but he WAS elected to that post.
