Teacher says write about anything, then threatens zeros to students who wrote about guns
Posted by Staff

The Daily Caller reports:

An English teacher at Denton High School on the edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex allegedly told students to write a few sentences about whatever topic they wanted for an assignment on Monday. However, the teacher then refused to grade the work of two students because they mentioned guns.

When the students — both seniors — wrote about innocuous gun-related themes, the teacher, Dewey Christian, scolded them in front of the class. Classmates laughed, and the students were humiliated, reports KDFW, the local FOX affiliate.

Christian further informed them that their writing would yield big, fat zeros unless they wrote new paragraphs on other topics.
