UNION TOWNSHIP, NJ – The Union Township school board has filed tenure charges against Viki Knox, a high school English teacher whose anti-gay remarks on Facebook raised a firestorm over her free speech rights and her role as a public school teacher. According to the Star-Ledger, Knox was placed on paid administrative leave last September after she posted on Facebook that homosexuality is “a perverted spirit” and a “sin” that “breeds like cancer.” The board formally filed charges against Knox, a step that begins the lengthy and costly process of terminating her employment.
