SUBSTITUTE TEACHER RUNS FOR HIS LIFE

(West Palm Beach)----- A middle aged substitute teacher fled out of his assigned
classroom last Tuesday at 12 noon to get away before violence erupted.

"I did it for the students so they would not be placed in harm's way," said the teacher, who fears retaliation from the student gangs, parents and/ or the do-nothing school board run by Art Johnson.

The anonymous white male teacher was apparently afriad for his life due to flagrant "racist" remarks and racist actions by students in the civic's class last Tuesday April 30, 2007. This alleged incident took place at a local school in the West Palm Beach area.

"I ran out of school to hopefully defuse a potentially violent situation due to racist actions and racist remarks by the students," said the male teacher, who is forced into being a subsitute teacher because the do-nothing school board creates an artificial teacher shortage by refusing to hire substitutes to become full-time teachers.

Reportedly, the students were defacing pictures of white male U.S. presidents in a civic's class.
"Why are you students defacing these pictures? Doesn't that show you are no better than Don Imus and just as racist as him?" queried the beleagured teacher.

The students replied that it's OK for them to deface pictures because they are black. Further, the students said it was OK for black rapper groups to deniggrate blacks because the rappers are black. The teacher countered with a quote from Martin Luther King Jr who said: "Judge not a man by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character."

The teacher refused to single out any students for their actions because he felt that he would face retaliation from student gang members, and he said the school administration appeared not to care by failing to remove all of the pictures, only some of them; and by failing to send a cop to the troubled civic's class to defuse the situation before violence erupted, and the teacher was afraid to send any students to the principal's office for disciplinary action. "It's a badge of honor for these students to go to detention. The school needs a get tough policy to protect everyone, teachers as well as students," said the flustered gray haired teacher. "I had no choice but to leave the school before the situation escalated into a physcial confrontation.

In an unrelated incident at the same classroom on the previous Friday, the same teacher reported that severn (7) students suddenly got out of their seats and walked out of the classrooom without permission. The teacher said that shows there is no security in the school system whatsoever.

"If there is not one hundred (100) percent security for all, there is no security for anyone," he added. School superintendent, Art Johnson, all talk and no action, could not be reached for comment, or Mr. Johnson was afraid to talk to the WNN Action News Team waiting outside of his office, where he was trying to figure out how to screw over substitute teachers even more.
