Way to break out of those stereotypes, Alabama! And conservatives worry about gay teachers indoctrinating their kids…
A Jefferson County teacher picked the wrong example when he used assassinating President Barack Obama as a way to teach angles to his geometry students.
(…)
The teacher was apparently teaching his geometry students about parallel lines and angles, officials said. He used the example of where to stand and aim if shooting Obama.
“He was talking about angles and said, ‘If you’re in this building, you would need to take this angle to shoot the president,’ ” said Joseph Brown, a senior in the geometry class.
“Damn, I just can’t seem to get through to these kids! I need to figure out a way to make geometry relatable and fun. Wait, I know – what high school kid doesn’t fantasize about killing the President? I’m a genius! I am totally going to win Teacher Of The Year for this!”
Guess how shocked I’ll be if this guy turns out to be a teabagger and avid Glenn Beck fan.
