'You're an a--hole'
An Alabama high-school science teacher has landed in hot water for showing a controversial anti-Bush video to his students.
The video is set up like a film strip, showing slides of Bush and his cronies while a song called "A--hole" plays in the background.
The word appears numerous times in the video, which is about as clever and entertaining as your average hippie war protester carrying a "Bush=Hitler" sign. (Watch it!)
Parents were steamed when they found out that teacher Steve White had exposed their children to this type of vulgarity.
"My son and a group of his friends were talking about this video they had seen in school," Christy Jackson told the Athens News-Courier.
"One of the other student's mother saw the video and she forwarded it to me. I saw it and I became livid."
She called up the school and was told that White had been reprimanded.
"I think he should admit he was wrong and he should apologize," she continued.
"I'm really not out to get anybody fired, but I think a lesson needs to be learned and I don't want any teacher showing my son anything that is not clean or related to his studies."
White, in addition to teaching eighth-grade science, is a Democratic candidate for the state House of Representatives. His District 4 opponent, Congressman Micky Harmmon, accused White of abusing kids' trust: "I know he's my opponent, but I would say this about any teacher who showed something like that. You shouldn't use your position as a teacher to influence children about your political opinions.
"That is wrong. He's abusing his authority."
Since the news broke, more allegations have emerged against White. According to the News-Courier, "One parent said an obscene video showing an animated Bill Clinton was shown to students."
