We know that former new class main actor Robert Tefler was considered a conservative belief person before he was fired by Peter Engel. But you all should know that he's also connected to SBTB creator Sam Bobrick along the way until Bobrick's death.
But what else can you deeply tell that Tefler is still a conservative belief person:
* Racist?
* Sexist?
* Fascist Bigot?
* Uneducated, backwards - even if having multiple advanced degrees?
* Suddenly mentally and morally inferior?
* Horrible person?
* Other?
Well, if you don't really care about this topic, then please don't post at all...
It has never been confirmed about the reasons why Robert Sutherland Tefler was let go from The New Class after the first season. The whole "he was too conservative" story was first brought up in Dustin Diamond's book. But it's extremely hard to know or decide how much of that book was fact or fiction.
Peter Engel while I don't think he named any names specifically, admitted in his own book that he was never completely satisfied with the cast for the first season. He said that he was in a hurry to cast the show because of a deal that NBC had with Kellogg's and their cereals.
I don't know where you are getting that stuff about Sam Bobrick and how that relates in anyway to why Robert was dismissed after only one season.
If I were to guess, I think that Robert was fired because he was clearly hired to be the "new Zack Morris" but he his performance wasn't up to snuff.

TMC, maybe if you checked this awful truth of Bobrick's obituary after being antisemitically abused in his own real teen life years, then you'll know somehow, first of all, TBH:

Again, how exactly is that of any direct relevance towards why Robert Sutherland Tefler was fired from The New Class after the first season? It just sounds like you're grasping at straws. Are you insinuating that Robert was fired because he said something to Sam Bobrick that he took offense to?

Tefler didn't say something offense about Bobrick at all, TMC. Tefler and Bobrick were on the same side, but they both may have offended Engel at the same time, back then, TBH, IMO.
But before I resume, what was the reason why Tefler ended up on this New Class sitcom on the first place? That's another question that I'm concerned also.
