We agreed to remain friends, and much like when I was still his student in high school, we began to have a small debate about some hot topic issue. Suddenly he stopped responding, and it has now been more than a month since he last responded. My concern is that I may have said something to offend him, or worse,he has decided that because I do not have similar views, that I must be an unreasonable person, and may no longer wish to speak to me. I don't know, I may be over-thinking this. But, my question is what should I do since he has not responded in more than a month? I really would hate to lose communication with him.

Can you remember saying or doing anything that may have caused him offence? if not, then chances are it isn't that, so don't worry that you've done anything wrong. It was probably just a professional/personal thing he was having trouble finding a healthy balance with and since his career will mean more to him, he's chose that direction to go.

Crushes on teachers will never be more than crushes. It's best for you to find someone your age at the same part of life. Good luck.

 Is he married? Maybe he didn't find it appropriate to keep in touch with students? Or maybe his wife didn't find it appropriate.
Could be that his life is busy and he doesn't want to "argue" with people online?
Could be since it's vacation time that he is off enjoying his vacation with family/friends.
There can be so many reasons as to why he isn't replying.
Maybe a short hey, how is your vacation going? and if he ignores that, I think you are going to have to accept that he is not going to reply back for whatever reason.
Try not to make it out to be more then it is.
