The thing about Jaime Escalante is that while teaching is a profession, there are a very, very few that excel as artists. From everything I read about Jaime Escalante, and saw (when he was on television) the man was truly inspired to do what he did.

No, Escalante was not fired. He resigned his position at Garfield High due to political pressures and petty jealousies. His replacement, also left Garfield. Since then the Garfield AP Calculus program went down the crapper.
