Judge Rules Guidance Counselor's Raunchy Book Acceptable Grounds for Termination

Not a self-help book to describe working at a strip club

|

A federal judge shot down the claims of fired guidance counselor whose self-help book discussed the racial differences in women's vaginas, while advising men to cheat and women to "enter the wonderful world of submissiveness."

Bryan Craig was a guidance counselor and girl's basketball coach at Rich Township High School in suburban Chicago until September 2012, when the Rich Township Board of Education decided that his book, "It's Her Fault," was grounds for dismissal.

Craig describes the self-published book as a "self-help book" about relationships between men and women.

After losing his job, Craig sued the board, claiming it violated his First Amendment right to free speech and retaliated against him for publishing his book.
