Should this teacher be fired...

An alumni of my high school who graduated last tahun committed suicide last Sunday, and it's been a very sensitive time for the last few days. I have a Jewish English teacher who's been teaching for decades and has tenure. Today in the class she had before mine, she berkata that the boy would not go to Heaven for what he did. This upset the whole class and they went to the guidance office, some in tears and others angry. The teacher was asked to leave and (though we don't know yet), was likely suspended.

My Facebook news feed is in the process of blowing up with posts about how disgusting, insensitive, and disgraceful her actions were. People don't want her to be allowed to return to school. Some are peaceful, but some are not. All are defending the honor of the deceased. Someone even started an Event to go to the administration and calmly address what happened. Someone wrote a message to the Department of Education and local news sites.
At first I was with everyone else 100%. After rethinking my papar on this, I found that I am not so sure. I can't really say that it was wrong for her to say that.

She has been accused of wrongful behavior before, and a lot of people hate her as a teacher in general. With this, she could likely be fired. She's 60 and would lose her job and retirement benefits. I don't think that she deserves that over this incident. People are upset and when they are upset, they also become a
