Meanie cow-raping school district fires bold rebel for secretly teaching veganism in art class, instead of, um, art.

The former teacher, Dave Warwak, leaves no news article combox untouched in his quest, under the name inslidedotcom.

"teach them how Artists shape and guide morals in society With this knowledge, they can deal with the real world Use their art to create positive change Live longer Heal the earth I model what I teach I have been railroaded Posts removed You celebrate I appeal You pay Meat and Dairy laughs I cry"

Poetry.

And as his combox name might suggest, he has a website.

Yes, this is the man I want to teach MY children about art.

Edit: I turned off comment notification (ow, my inbox) so if anyone has any links to this guy wanking elsewhere (since he's wanked in two news articles at least, I'm sure there's more and will be more) please drop a comment in joye's journal and I'll edit the post. Thanks.

	And the choir teacher who was a Baptist minister, Majored in Theology, had no Musical degree, and publicly insulted two Wiccan students. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	How they heck did he wind up teaching something he had no qualifications for then? Was it a case of "you're trained to work in a church, therefore you must know something about music"? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Well, he led his church choir. He wasn't a bad choirmaster. He just blew moose when it came to actually TEACHING in a public school. He acted as though music was our only care and was the only important class we had. Which is great and noble, except most of us were there because singing was a pleasant diversion offered in school.

I remember he pitched a fit once because the Choir Booster Students (Fundraisers and Support) wanted to institute a new rule: for the Spring Concert, each choir would get to choose one song that we would learn and would be conducted by a student. He insisted that the choirs were a dictatorship, not a democracy.

He didn't win a lot of points with us.

	I said something like that once to my section in band. Of course, I was kidding. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	He insisted that the choirs were a dictatorship, not a democracy. Well... as a choir conductor (my internet credentials, let me show you them!), I do heartily agree with that statement. The trick is just not to let the people you're oppressing realise it. If they do realise, then you're doing something wrong. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Okay, I'll agree with that. But we knew we were and very few of us liked it or were willing to put up with it. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I had a math teacher (a nun, btw), 8th grade algebra, who was a Music MAJOR! She used to bring her guitar in and sing for us every Friday. It was a real WTF?! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It would've been if she were Keith Richards! But instead we had to sing 'He's got the whole world in his hands' and 'Day by Day'. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Lol, Sound of Music. Exactly what I thought of, too. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	See, in the right hands, music and math would be the perfect fit. This one doesn't sound like she has those hands... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I had a priest for religion class in my Catholic high school that hit on all the girls with skirts instead of teaching religion. It embarassed the heck out of his daughter, who went to the school. (He used to be Lutheran or something, then converted to Catholicism and was allowed be a priest and keep his family. It always confused people.) (Reply to this)(Parent)
