destroy is bugged in our Rails version 4.1.4 as it creates a GET request using JavaScript when really it should be doing a POST request. button_to resolves this issue.

"I had the same issue, for rails 4.2.X. Checked all my javascript files but could not make it work. if u look closely at the server request u will be missing 'authenticity_token' in the params, so user gets logged out. In rails 4.1 and above u have to use button_to instead of link_to"
