New Jersey substitute teacher, Walt Tutka, was fired earlier this year by the Phillipsburg School District for handing a Bible to a student who requested it.

When the young man was last to enter through a door, Mr. Tutka told him, “The first shall be last, but the last shall be first.” The student repeatedly inquired, over the course of several days, as to the origin of the phrase. Finally, Tutka pulled out his pocket New Testament and showed the student the related verse in the book of Matthew. The student stated that he didn’t own a Bible—so Tutka offered his copy and the student accepted.

Within days, the Phillipsburg School District charged Walt Tutka with violating a rule against distributing religious literature. Then in January, the school board terminated him.
