Teacher uses hypothetical assassination of Obama in geometry
The Secret Service investigated a teacher in Jefferson County, Alabama after he used a hypothetical assassination of President Obama to teach angles to his geometry students, the Birmingham News reports:
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.
The Secret Service questioned the math teacher, but decided not to arrest him or charge him with a crime after they determined he was not “a credible threat,” an agency spokesperson said. Superintendent Phil Hammonds called the incident “extremely poor judgment” and “a poor choice of words,” but said he has no plans to fire the teacher. “We are going to have a long conversation with him about what’s appropriate,” Hammonds said. The Birmingham News was unable to reach the teacher for comment. (HT: TPM)

I don’t know what the school policies are in Alabama, but in Washington state, kids are suspended immediately if they even suggest such violence.

De man kan ook denkend aan de moord op Kennedy de hoeken, graden en snelheden die bij ballistiek komen kijken uit de doeken hebben gedaan. Zonder kwade gedachten…
