Teacher To Be Fired

(Smithfield, North Carolina) According to this report, science teacher Jeff Ferguson is likely to be fired because he required his students to drink a gallon of milk as part of an experiment. Smithfield-Selma High School Principal Phil Lee has already recommended that the school system not renew Ferguson's contract.

Personally, I think everyone has overreacted just because he made 13 students vomit. It never was that easy when I was going to school. I remember some teachers who were quite puke provoking.

[Update] The Johnson County School Board voted 5-1 to dismiss Ferguson. According to School Board Chairman Fred Bartholomew, the dismissal was per the recommendations of the principal and the school system superintendent, Tony Parker.
