Alabama teacher uses a hypothetical assassination of Obama in lesson on ‘angles’ and ‘parallel lines.’

By Alex Seitz-Wald The Secret Service investigated a teacher in Jefferson County, Alabama after “he picked the wrong example” and used a hypothetical assassination of President Obama to teach angles to his geometry students, the Birmingham News reports:

The teacher was apparently teaching his geometry students about parallel lines and angles, officials said. He used the example of where to stand and aim if shooting Obama.



“He was talking about angles and said, ‘If you’re in this building, you would need to take this angle to shoot the president,’ ” said Joseph Brown, a senior in the geometry class.



The Secret Service questioned the math teacher, but decided not to arrest him or charge him with a crime after they determined he was not “a credible threat,” an agency spokesperson said. Superintendent Phil Hammonds called the incident “extremely poor judgment” and “a poor choice of words,” but said he has no plans to fire the teacher. “We are going to have a long conversation with him about what’s appropriate,” Hammonds said. The Birmingham News was unable to reach the teacher for comment. (HT: TPM)

M.C.L Comment: Again those on the political right wonder why I hate them so much, I remember during the Bush era a dude with a screenname that had dead and kill with Bush got arrested some pencil dick douchebag teacher can ask his students what angle they would used to kill Obama and nothing happens to him..

Come on now we all know what would happen if you replace the teacher ideology probably conservative to liberal and you change the president name from Barack Obama to George W. Bush Mr. Math teacher would be sitting in a nice hot cell in Gitmo.

Once again the right proves if they can't beat their opponents via the voting process they want them dead.
