Vegan war of words: method or madness?

]]> I’ve been following the Dave Warwak story with interest. He is the art teacher who was recently suspended and then fired for talking about veganism to his students. Since being fired, Warwak has been seeking to get the decision reversed while claiming that he won’t return to the school until the cafeteria goes completely vegan.

Media coverage of Warwak has not been particularly favorable, tending to emphasize the ‘crazy vegan’ angle (at least from what I’ve seen). Is this ‘crazy’ label justified? Is Warwak doing vegans and their cause more harm than good with his actions?

While PETA has jumped in the ring on Warwak’s side, not all vegans agree with him. For one, Laura at SuperVegan thinks Warwak’s ‘obnoxious’ actions are not doing anyone, least of all vegans, any good. Susie is also not impressed with Warwak, and thinks his “extremist” actions are earning him the crazy label. In turn, Elaine picks apart several of Susie’s arguments, while supporting Warwak and defending vegans’ right to be offensive.

What do you think? Are you a supporter of Dave Warwak’s actions?
