A Texas school district dropped a substitute teacher following a 'disturbing' puppet show.
A puppet murder or death scene from a Shakespearian play? It’s not clear, but a teacher is out of a job.published to its website, the Hays Consolidated Independent School District said the teacher was suspended and removed from campus April 19 after students at Johnson High School expressed concerns about the in-class assignment.Students said the theater arts teacher assigned a puppet show in which at least one puppet was murdered, the district said.
“Either way, assigning or allowing this type of performance, if proved to have occurred, would be disturbing and unacceptable conduct for an educator in Hays CISD,” the district said. “The school and the district apologize to the students and their parents for any distress this has caused and pledges to ensure that it does not happen again.”Even after district officials met with the teacher Monday, they said they are still unable to nail down details of the assignment.
The district said the unnamed teacher, hired in January, did not have nefarious intentions but will no longer be invited to work in the district., Staff writer.
