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.

Once I had a Christian Ed teacher who showed "motivational" videos narrated by Son of Sam. You know, he killed people? He's a Christian now. He wouldn't have killed those people if he'd been a Christian before. He's I guess pretty sure of that.

And that's videos plural, by the way. There were two Son of Sam tapes.

He also showed two or three other videos of less-well-known murderers and sex criminals touting the benefits of conversion to Christianity. All of these people were intensely, monomaniacally focused on the reexamination of their past crimes. Some of them just had the guys up on stage talking, surrounded by uncomfortable-looking teenagers and parents, but others had still photos of the scenes of their crimes and of their prison cells, overlaid by perversely proud narration of exactly what they had done. One talked compulsively about prison rape, his voice rising an octave every time he repeated the rote phrase, "He was big - he was bad - he was homosexual."

The religious content of these videos was largely divorced from the mens' obsessive descriptions of their sins. God came in when they talked about their periods of "reform," which they defined as "evangelism." One man gleefully told a story about taking a "bad kid" (one whom he couldn't convert, apparently) into his old prison to be threatened with rape by a prisoner. It does not occur to him to connect his past violent impulses with the fury with which he punishes the teenagers he is supposed to be counseling when they refuse to submit to his preaching.

I have no idea where the teacher was getting all these videos, and why no one stopped him from showing them. Being non-Christian and having possibly a poor sense of risk assessment, I would argue with him about whether he should be making us watch them. The third or fourth time I did this - shortly before he was abruptly no longer at the school - he grabbed my shoulders hard and hissed into my ear, "At the moment of your death, you will realize how wrong you were."

He also taught spelling. He lacked somewhat in zeal, there. Wasn't really too good at it.

	"He was big - he was bad - he was homosexual." That sounds like a tagline from an upcoming action movie about a gay rights activist with a pink machine gun. (Reply to this)(Parent)
