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.

Oh god, I had one of those. Our American Government teacher was a retired coach who had a notebook filled with a year's worth of lectures, with blanks for the names of elected officials. He read the book very... slowly... to a class of kids who copied it down word for word, with lots of pauses to let the slow writers catch up. At the end of the quarter, if your notebook exactly matched his, he'd give you an automatic A for one of the tests. I'd come from the gifted/AP track and was horrified, but the rest of the kids loved him.

No alien attacks, no conspiracy theories, no comments on religion, and only as much sexism as you'd expect from a man of his age and time; really, a good spate of ranting about veganism or the Illuminati would have spiced things up. I can see how your physics teacher would have been an improvement.

Why strawberry ice cream?

It turns out that all historical and mythological figures had names that would be great names for hunting dogs! This always deserved a mention.

Also, the American government is exactly like basketball in so many ways!

You win.

Why strawberry ice cream?

They just do! All real humans hate it! It's a sign!

~~No, seriously, I can't remember. It was more than fifteen years ago.~~

I seem to recall that "odd events" were also signs of conspiracy-- someone from his high school being stationed at the same remote military outpost he was once upon a time--> aliens among us.

He was actually a pretty decent physics teacher, as long as he didn't get off on one of these tangents.

	That's still more than I can do -- I am sadly cable-less. Ah, well, maybe the antennae will grow in eventually. (Reply to this)(Parent)

I had a teacher like that. In his defense, he was a long-term sub found at the last minute (my real science teacher quit after one day), and he'd flunked biology in high school. So he got his little sister's notebook she'd used for the class the last year (from a reasonably good teacher) and read it to us.

As long as you had *no questions*, it was fine.

	My American Government teacher was obsessed with the JKF assassination and made us watch that one film that starts with a Z over and over and over. And he'd always point out at the exact same spot that there couldn't have been just one shooter. And then he'd rewind it over and over until he was satisfied that we all agreed.

	Zapruder. Yikes. That sounds like a fun-filled class. Sounds like Eddie Izzard's take on mass murderers: "Death, death, death, death, death, lunch, death, death, death, afternoon tea, death death death, quick shower..." --wanderingrogue@lj (Reply to this)(Parent)
