A Michigan teacher who kicked a student out of class after the teen made a comment against homosexuality during a high school anti-bullying day was ordered to pay $1 for violating his free speech rights. Daniel Glowacki told economics teacher Johnson "Jay" McDowell during the Oct. 20, 2010, anti-bullying observation at Howell High School that "his religion does not accept homosexuality and that he could not condone that behavior," according to a lawsuit filed on behalf of Glowacki in federal court in Detroit. The student and his family are Catholic.
