Teacher Keeps Job

A math teacher who threatened two Connecticut lawmakers for introducing a bill that would mandate fiscal oversight for churches has been allowed to keep his job.

Timothy Kane, a 26-year-old math teacher, was ordered to undergo a mental evaluation and anger management training. He is expected to return to court in May, according to CTNewsJunkie.com .

Kane sent an e-mail on March 10 to Rep. Mike Lawlor and Sen. Andrew McDonald concerning the bill.

"You better hope myself and other Catholics don't find out where you live," Kane wrote, according to police, "cause there's hell to pay for your attack on the church. F--- off. God hates gay sex."

The proposed law, which has since been withdrawn, would have changed how Catholic churches managed their finances and administrative dealings. Bridgeport bishop William E. Lori called on local parishioners to contact their representatives over the bill. Eventually, thousands of Catholics demonstrated against the proposal.
