Frank Viscuso, a Kearny resident, wrote in a letter to The Observer that “when a student is advised by his ‘attorney’ father to bait a teacher with questions about religion, and then records his answers and takes the story to 300 newspapers, that family isn’t ‘offended’ by what was said in the classroom — they’re simply looking for a payout and to make a name for themselves.” He called the teacher one of the town’s best.
Is anyone willing to consider the possibility that the NYT doesnt have/isnt telling the whole story?

You've got the school students and residents lining up behind the teacher, making statements like the above- yet we're willing to swallow the 1 student's version hook, line, and sinker. I wonder if the locals might have a better idea of what's really at play here.
