Vegan teacher who wanted menu changed gets fired
Posted September 24, 2007 11:00 pm
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.
Warwak was a teacher at the school for eight years. He had been suspended with pay.
Warwak became a vegan in January.
