FOX RIVER GROVE, Ill.—A vegan middle school teacher who talked to

his students about not eating milk and meat says the district has

told him not to return until further notice.

Dave Warwak of Williams Bay, Wisconsin, has taught at Fox River

Grove Middle School for eight years.

 

The 44-year-old says school officials told him to leave earlier this

month for talking to students about a vegan diet.

 

Warwak says he still gets paid. He says he wants his job, but won't

return if the school serves meat and other animal products.

 

Superintendent Jacqueline Krause has said Warwak remains a district

employee, but the school board must decide whether to fire him.

---I can see making your stand on what you will eat and wont but we

cant chose for others. Explaining his diet to kids is educational,

expecting a whole school system to conform to your beliefs is not very

intelligent
