A Wake County high school teacher is under fire for comments he made in an article published online comparing the school where he works to a concentration camp.
Fuquay-Varina High School biology teacher Ray Fournier later apologized for his comments in an updated version of the article that promotes his book, Education Reformation.
Fournier has been a public school teacher for 13 years. Despite that, his book urges Christian parents to “rescue” their children from public schools. …

I think the sign reads "Welcome To Anytown High School"
I had a progressive coworker who sent their kid to private school specifically to avoid this teacher!
No, Mr. Fournier. You can’t say that. Only the students can say that.
What a drama queen.
The worst school in my county is predominantly black. It so much resembles a prison that if you didn’t read the sign you’d think it was one.
In the 90’s in a bid to improve the school’s failing status they changed the district boundaries to include more white kids. Where I worked several people sold their homes they’d owned for a long time and moved into the most expensive area of town so their kids wouldn’t be in fights every day. Those who couldn’t afford to move and couldn’t afford private school ended up with kids who were under educated or permanently damaged.
I went to the site and commented. Please do likewise. The perverts are there in mass.
So what’s new about that? We, kids, in the late 60s, always compared school to concentration camps. And then we’d get banged on the head by our Jewish concentration camp survivors - teachers - who dominated my high school. What strong people they were! And humorous too!
Yes, we did too when I was a student and I'm sure kids still do. The teacher should be educated enough that he doesn't make such comparisons, especially on the internet.
Late 60s? you’re still just a kid! I pictured you as older. Probably that the screen name sounds older.
I graduated from high school in ‘63.
The screen name is based on a song that Barbra Streisand sent into the stratosphere. At the time I took it, it made sense. Not so much, anymore, but I still love its NY overtones. Yetta Marmelstein.
Why?
Why is such a remark not within literary license? Why does a teacher lose his freedom of expression when it comes to the most important expression he can make, criticism of his own profession? Why do we countenance the government censoring its critics even if only by pressure rather than by force of law?
Which would make him a concentration camp guard?
