Dumb Teacher

Here's an example of one of the absolute idiots who we hire to teach our kids. This report is from the Associated Press:

An upstate New York school district is investigating a fourth-grader's assertion that his teacher - a Red Sox fan - made him hide his Yankees T-shirt from view.

Nathan Johns, a student at Van Buren Elementary School in Baldwinsville, said he wasn't sure what to think at first when his teacher told him to go to the bathroom and turn his Yankees shirt inside out. He said he complied and later was told to wear it that way until dismissal.

"I thought to myself, 'Is he serious or is he kidding?' " the boy said. "But he had this look like he wasn't kidding at all."

He said his teacher, Peter Addabbo (picture), keeps Red Sox paraphernalia on display all over the classroom.

Baldwinsville Schools Superintendent Jeanne Dangle said Friday that the district is conducting an investigation regarding the incident. - AP

Mr. Addabbo, you're a gavone! Forget the baseball and teach the kids something. The Red Sox and the Yankees are professional sports teams. That's all! This is not war, it is sport! A teacher has no right to humiliate a pupil over his preference in sports! From the story, the fourth grader seems to be more mature than the teacher!
