Public Opinion Supports Anti-Gay Florida Teacher: Surprised? [INFOGRAPHIC]

Last week, we asked SodaHeads if they thought Jerry Buell, a well-liked Florida teacher, should have been suspended for posting anti-gay remarks on his Facebook.

For those of you who missed out on the original story, here's an excerpt:

Buell was Teacher of the Year at Mount Dora High School in Lake County, Florida. But now he's been reassigned pending an investigation into whether saying he "almost threw up" at the thought of same-sex marriage -- which he calls a sin -- on Facebook violates the district's code of conduct.

Buell argues that the posts were made on his own computer on his personal time, and that it "wasn't out of hatred. It was about the way I interpret things," according to The Orlando Sentinel.

Florida school districts have adopted social media policies designed to address these thorny issues, stressing that "employees should remain professional in using the communication at all times."


SodaHeads responded en masse and decided Buell's Facebook page is his own business -- he should not be suspended for his statements.

But wouldn't it be great to see just who's voting for what? Were homosexuals more likely to oppose Buell? What are they saying in merry old England? How does religion correlate with the issue?

Luckily, SodaHead is equipped to find out. So let's dive deeper and see what we find.

    The British don't seem to understand what individual liberty is all about. We fought a war with them over this issue, if memory serves.

    Atheists, Democrats, and gays are voting their judgment of the content of Buell's speech, with no regard for his rights as an individual. This "results-oriented politics" brought us Obama, and threatens to bring us to a blood-and-flames civil war.

    Never put a human in the class of GOD. Fall short. What is it about you people always trying to place a blame. Look first at yourself. My only guilt is you and others like you are trying to destroy this nation and I'm not doing enough to stop you.

    Add using complete sentences to the things you can't grasp. Man created God not the other way around.

    Me? Why because I believe man created God to control and strike fear into his fellow man? Or more likely it started as a way to explain things that were unexplainable at the time.

    ...now folks not only do we have a swishy pants here, but one that has educated itself stupid. Can't figure out what sexual preference he wants to be but knows where to put a apostrophy.

    That's the way they think. They think it's uncool to be smart, for whatever reason.

    Why are Bis worse, bis like women which is what straights and bis have in common. And you seem to dislike those who aren't straight.

    Very much so. Why is it so hard to just do what GOD intended to do. It was Adam and Eve not Adam and Bill, or Eve and Edna, or Adam, Bill and Eve and Edna.
  • Adam Ju... nolibsp... 2011/08/25 21:39:42

    But Bis are part straight, part gay. So if you like straight people, you would partly like bis.

    This is a sick movement also. Just started in the last few years by the liberal movement in our schools. Just as bad as homosexuality. A country tied and winning the race with Soddom and Gomorrah that we are.
  • Adam Ju... nolibsp... 2011/08/29 23:14:51
    Adam Julian
    But you said that you prefer straights over gays, so wouldn't you at least partly like bis because they are part straight?
  • nolibsp... Adam Ju... 2011/08/30 14:33:57

    Never knew one, and usually distance myself from anyone I strongly disagree with.
  • Adam Ju... nolibsp... 2011/08/30 17:26:28
    Adam Julian
    Well wouldn't you only partly disagree with bis because they are only partly gay?
  • nolibsp... Adam Ju... 2011/08/30 23:06:20

    If it will make your day. O.K. Now consider that a first. I very rarely agree with anyone. Don't tell anyone.
  • Adam Ju... nolibsp... 2011/08/30 23:09:48
    Adam Julian
    Well I'm good at arguing a point. Don't feel bad that you agree'd.

    Don't push your luck.

  • nolibsp... Adam Ju... 2011/08/30 23:18:22

    Correct. Almost forgot you were a liberal.

    1. I'm not a liberal
    2. I believe in God and luck, but getting you to agree with me wasn't through luck.
