I don't think he should be canned, he has every right to write or say what he pleases on the subject. I don't know if you remember, but at my old college last year, there was a big controversy over an op-ed in the student newspaper regarding Pat Tillman. The kid who wrote it got death threats, the whole enchilada. And they wanted to take him off of the paper. Why? Doesn't anyone read things they don't disagree with? Just because you don't agree with it, it doesn't mean that others don't and should be deprived of reading it.
As for his actual essay, I'll reserve my judgements until I can actually read the whole thing and not the selective little blurbs that the media wants me to read.
