FOX RIVER GROVE, Ill. --A vegan middle school teacher who vowed to persuade schools to change their menus is appealing his firing.

Forty-four-year-old Dave Warwak, 44, of Williams Bay, Wisconsin is asking the Illinois State Board of Education to appoint a hearing officer to review his firing from Fox River Grove Middle School.

The teacher was fired after officials complained he had turned his art classes into lectures on veganism

Warwak had said he would not return to the classroom unless the school served only lunches free of animal products.

Saying that meat would remain on the menu, District 3 school board members voted September. 24 to fire him.

1. Mr. Warwak?

You were hired as a teacher, not as a nutritionist.

2. Sounds like he quit

The school board only finalized it. Good for them.

5. Quit or took a leave of absence

"Warwak had said he would not return to the classroom unless the school served only lunches free of animal products".

Doesn't even sound like he was physically in class.

Good riddance to someone who overstepped his bounds.
