Militant vegan teacher fired

Yes, there is such a thing as a militant vegan, and that person's name is David Warwak, who until last night was a middle-school art teacher in Fox River Grove, Illinois.

From CBS 2 Chicago:

A vegan middle school teacher who vowed to persuade schools to change their menus has been fired.

Dave Warwak of Williams Bay, Wis., was removed from the classroom at Fox River Grove Middle School earlier this month. School officials say he handed out materials on vegan diets some parents considered graphic.

The 44-year-old art teacher says he objected to the school's menu and its posters featuring milk.

The school board has voted 7-0 to fire him.

Well, now that Warwak has more free time, he can volunteer for the presidential campaign of fellow vegan Dennis Kucinich.
