In April, Lupori came up with the cruel idea of placing a bag--with air holes punched out--over the head of a supposedly unruly student. He received a paid suspension for that stunt, but Lupori's back teaching this fall.
Fifty miles north of Evergreen Park, Fox River Grove Middle School art teacher Dave Warwak is a vegan. The school board hired Warwak to teach art, and although it's unreasonable to expect a teacher not to let some out-of-classroom pursuits to be discussed in front of students, Warwak crossed the line with a recent less-than artful discussion.
He talked about veganism. Not a problem, I remember a sixth grade teacher of mine discussing vegetarianism for a few minutes, and I preferred listening to that rather than being assigned one more mathematics word problem.
But the Fox River Grove teacher steered his dietary choice into a classroom political discussion:
From CBS 2 Chicago:
He says (veganism) is his way of showing respect for all life.
"If you are so respectful that you won't hurt a squirrel or an ant or a mosquito, there’s no way you’re going to go off and fight and kill people," said Warwak. "Certainly, if you're invaded you kill, but you don't go to foreign lands and kill."
Mr. Warwak: How about sticking to having kids paint a picture of a squirrel.
Hat tip to the Freedom Folks.
