The pictures of slaughtered animals story reads like an episode of King of the Hill.
I feel very little sympathy for the Vegan teacher. At first i did, until I realized he's pushing his agenda so far that he refuses to compromise. Instead of just asking for vegan alternatives, he's asking the school to become vegan, in return he drops everything? His case just became ruined for me.
