This is specious. Obviously, you can fire a person from a job without them having to commit a "crime."
If the teacher had stood in front of the class, and said this: "We all know that niggers aren't as capable of excellence in school as other races."
Should he be fired? If it was up to me, he would never see the inside of a school again.
Does he have freedom of speech? Of course.
Is he committing a crime? No. Not under the Constitution, although the "hate speech" crap is slowly eroding this distinction.
Should this hypothetical racist teacher be fired? Am I being judgmental for calling him a racist? You tell me.
If you think he should be fired, then there is obviously a particular category of "free speech" that is off-limits for a schoolteacher who wants to keep his job. Once we have established that, then the rest is simply arguing over the definitions.
