It was against Mr. Perry's wishes so it was seen as rebellious, even though Mr. Keating never encouraged him to buck what his father said and Neil lied to both of them. Once the administration found out Keating had gone off book and was basically teaching them non-conformity, he was made the scapegoat and fired.
