Dave Warwak, an art teacher at Fox River Grove (Ill.) Middle School, said he wouldn't return to the classroom until the school served only lunches free of animal products. But meat still is on the menu, and the school board has fired Warwak. In a prepared statement, the board said that Warwak told pupils not to tell their parents, teachers or the school's principal what he was teaching and that he repeatedly refused to answer questions from school officials on that subject. The statement also said Warwak converted his art classes into classes on veganism and animal rights.
