Some teacher needs a life.

[The_Republican]

All Denver Fans were humiliated yesterday.

There's no crying in football!

"honors ethnic relations teacher "

Johnny can't read, but he can relate.

an HONORS class????? HONORS???

pardon me, but OMFG. Neal Boortz is right.

It is times like these when I consider it totally appropriate for the students to beat the living crap out of the teacher.

"I was humiliated and shaking. I couldn't finish my test," said Vannoy

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. I think this kid needs his diapers changed, a bottle of warm milk, a burp and nappy-poo time.

[DuckFan4ever]

Humiliated? Good grief talk about sensitive. If he didn't like it he should have stood up and either told them to knock it off or left the room. Doesn't sound malice.

some teacher needs to be given a pink slip

[TheBigB]

Dumbass teacher. Needs a reprimand, if not a pink slip.

[G.Mason]

I do hope the poor lad recovers before the prom. No woody ... no goody. ;)

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Some teacher needs to be fired.

[seamusnh]

Watch the union circle the wagons around the teacher... We really need school vouchers in this country!

[TravisBickle]

So, a guy wears a shirt to school, knowing it's going to cause a fuss, and when it does, he gets mad.

Does he have a right to wear the shirt? Sure.

Is it a good idea? Hmmmm, I don't think so.

honors ethnic relations teacher

if not a pink slip, then a new job title. What a joke.

"If he felt uncomfortable, then that's a lesson; that's what (the class) is designed to do," Kelly said. "It was silly fun. I can't believe he was upset."

What a freaking idiot. (The teacher, not the student.) Any teacher who would humiliate one of their students like this just for rooting for another football team--and yes, I know it's Pittsburgh, where pro football is a religion--deserves to have his teaching credentials yanked.

This needs to be investigated, and if the kid's story is true, I hope the teacher gets fired. If the teacher's story is true, I hope the kid gets suspended for lying.

Suspend the teacher without pay for a couple of weeks. Then require him to wear a Broncos jersey to school for the rest of the year. And give all students in the school a free pass to harass the Broncos-jersey-wearing teacher for the rest of the year.

[Nea Wood]

There are classes in "ethnic relations" now?

[HitmanLV]

I mouthed off to teachers all the time, and look how great I turned out. :)

[GovernmentShrinker]

It may not have been a great idea, but the student has a right to expect that a TEACHER won't instigate harassment for wearing the shirt.
