Teacher Goes Nuts Over Student Chat

Presented for your consideration:

Two students, during a free-period break time, munching on snacks, quietly talk about turkey hunting . . .

One teacher, hands placed firmly over ears yells, "la-la-la-la-la . . . ." to drown her thoughts of "killing" . . .

Said teacher eliminates free-period break times . . . to stifle speech? . . .

A school board now faces a free speech complaint from enraged parents who have removed one of the boys from school and are continuing his education via home-schooling . . .

You are entering . . . the BENNINGTON, VERMONT ZONE!

Which is too bad, BTW. Bennington is probably my favorite town in Vermont, let along all of New England. Anyway, the teacher went a more than just a bit overboard on this, IMHO. By the way, did I mention the boy who got into trouble is 10 years old?

Read the story.
