Teacher Suspended After Showing Gibson Movie

Well, here’s one way to put your career in jeopardy.  According to THV11, teacher Greg Hendrix made his students at Wilbur D. Mills High School in Little Rock watch a film as part of a class on “History since 1890,” before having them take a quiz on the movie.  The movie was The Passion of the Christ.  The teacher was told to go home.

In a recording taken by a student, the teacher also complained about Democrats and liberals, bemoaning “political correctness.”

Gibson’s film was a box office blockbuster for the stridently Catholic director despite earning an R-rating for its extreme portrayal of the torture and crucifixion of Jesus Christ — making over $600 million.  As the teacher played the video, students left the classroom in protest when they realised they were being shown a video about Jesus Christ.

All of this reminds me on that time when a head teacher was fired for showing a Chuck Norris movie to children as young as seven.  I mean, maybe that would’ve helped out these problematic kids!
