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, so many stories I have to add...

First, my sister's first/second-grade teacher. Told my sister point blank that she was too stupid to learn how to read. Never mind that she was so farsighted she couldn't see the letters and so dyslexic she couldn't interpret them at all easily, and never mind that this was *before* she talked with our parents about any of this, and at a school meant for "non-traditional learners" at that. NFI if she's still there.

At that school there was also a teacher who made a kid dumpster dive because a bully threw his lunchbox into the dumpster. This wasn't a good section of town.

Eighth grade. Different school, just as bad. This idiot physically picked me up because she was "sick of seeing [me] eat all alone every day," dropped me (literally) in the middle of the group of people who'd tormented me every day for three years, and told me to have fun. She taught from Cliffs Notes because she couldn't be arsed to read the books herself (stuff like Frankenstein and Fahrenheit 451, mind you). Didn't let me out of class when I realized that since I got the ham sandwich, my sister must have had turkey (she's allergic and wasn't overly attentive, and she had the lunch period before mine. I left anyway.) Still teaching.

9th & 10th grades. Religion teacher. (So many of those.) Just like every other religion teacher at this high school, of the "oh, every faith is right, it's just that mine's more right than yours" persuasion. When she had us introduce ourselves, she had us give our names and religions. Called my parents one night to say that I'd not turned in an assignment, which is not standard procedure for one assignment. I *had* turned it in, she'd just lost it and wanted to cover her tracks. Still teaching. (She gets brownie points for dressing up as Frau Bleucher every Halloween, though.)

10th & 11th grades. This was my fucking ADVISOR, too, keep in mind, though she also taught bio and a class on female body image. Told me point blank that if someone has depression, it's their own fault entirely and there's nothing stopping them from willing themselves healthy. (I walked out of that class.) Also taught that there's no connection between HIV and AIDS. Still teaching.

12th grade. Nother religion teacher. Grabbed me from behind and shook me from behind because I was "cranky" and "needed to be uncranky." I'm talking full-on shaking here. Even if my nervous system weren't too seriously fucked up for that shit, it wouldn't help, you bitch. Still teaching there.

Never actually had one of the french teachers at that high school, but oh, there are stories. I actually went to france in a group with her... she called all of us "chickenshits" and "fatasses," got one student (sheepishly raises hand) lost and didn't give the correct phone number for the hotel out. Compulsive liar. Her husband is a different profession every time you ask her (we have yet to figure out what he really does). Teaches both Spanish and French, neither well. Anyone who passes her classes has gone to one of the other teachers for help. Once told me this story about how she went to Brazil with her husband, and everyone there was amazed because he looked totally Brazilian and she spoke "perfect Spanish." Nevermind that they speak Portuguese in Brazil. Is still teaching.

erm... sophomore year of college. Intro to Chem. Guy got horny every time he talked about chemistry. Got busted after one semester for asking for bribes from students. Another compulsive liar.
