A drafting teacher gave his teenage class an assignment to write an essay on who they would like to murder and how they would do it. He’s been allowed to keep his job, as he’s apparently an upstanding guy and this was simply a lapse in judgment.

Excuse me? A lapse in judgment? What other lapses are on the horizon? This is one case where I’d favor complete dismissal. This is not a man I want anywhere near a school. Some lapses in judgment simply demonstrate a shameful lack of self-control. And shame on the principal, the teacher’s unions, and the school for keeping this principal in front of the classroom.

(Imagine if he’d asked the students to write an essay on who they would like to have sex with, and describe it in detail. He’d be fired so fast it would make your head spin!)

One has to wonder if public schools are even worth bothering to try to save any more…
