Unbelievable. But not really.
Firing a teacher for this lesson is ridiculous.

HOWEVER, always there is more to this story. Local Article Specifically, there was a complaint filed earlier the year when the same teacher admitted to providing an example of equality as:
quote:

When you hang one black person, you’d have to hang them all. That is equality.
So clearly that is way worse than the confederate flag story, but there seems to be some history that is impacting this decision.

And that local complaint was filed by another moron who can't think for shite..
You'd think you'd at least TRY to post accurately; from your own article:

According to the family, when the teacher was asked to give an example of equality, he said, “When you hang one black person, you’d have to hang them all. That is equality".
During the investigation, the teacher told administratorsthat statement was made in the contextSoutherners would respond to people who went to the South to promote equal rights for African-Americans. He said the Southerners would respond, “We treat them all equally. We hang them.”

The teacher WAS NOT defining equality as "hang em all".
He was describing the racism and hatred civil rights workers were met with when they came down south.
But I understand your commitment to half-truths. Carry on.
