I will never forget the terrible death Terri was forced to suffer by her “husband,” or the agony he put her family through.
Terri's story had been in the news for a few weeks when it made the headlines of our newspaper. I took the opportunity to throw out the curriculum and spent the entire day discussing it with my students. Years later, they still occasionally tell me they remember that day in class. However, one little know-it-all snot nosed whiny who despised me (feeling is mutual to this day) decided that day to write his own little pro-death anti-Terri editorial in the school paper. I'm pleased to say, it wasn't well received and there was backlash.
Prayers for Terri, her family, and all the others who met the same fate.
