What's most likely going on is this teacher *IS* a pedophile, plausibly a rapist, but has friends in high places to protect him from being properly accused.

Yes, being assholes on the internet won't really do them any good, but there must be a reason they would say things like that, and the way the school responded just shows them as a bunch of butthurt adults who must have been caught with their pants down at such insults.
And people wonder why the school has over-reacted over this incident, you people, not only have
zero evidence to suggest these people are in any way wrong here, but you're making pretty damn horrible accusations towards people you don't even know based on someones Facebook comment.
What's most likely, "Zaik" is that the students in questions were annoyed at the teacher in some way and in their anger posted said accusation on Facebook, it's very common and happens all the time but in a profession like teaching; where such slanderous comments, even if they aren't true, can leave people without a job - it's serious.
The students are clearly just being made examples of, because in all honesty if you were that teacher, having done nothing wrong, but then had to teach a class full of people calling you a pedophile behind your back I doubt you'd be pleased with the situation.
The conclusion that should be drawn from this is not "oh the teacher must have done something wrong", that's a moronic attitude at best, but that "free speech" does not entitle you to make such slanderous comments and that if you are going to assassinate someones character in public [which Facebook is] you'd best have some evidence or really mean the accusation in question.
They deserved what they got.
