A math teacher at Corner High School in Jefferson County, Ala., decided the best way to teach his students about "parallel lines and angles" would be to [URL="http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2010/05/jefferson_county_geometry_teac.html"]have them calculate the best angle to use[/URL] when firing a gun at President Barack Obama:

[INDENT]"He was talking about angles and said, 'If you're in this building, you would need to take this angle to shoot the president,' " said Joseph Brown, a senior in the geometry class.
[/INDENT][/release]While I appreciate the challenges high school teachers face making a dreary subjects come alive, I'm afraid teaching children presidential assassination methods is generally considered inappropriate. The Secret Service paid the teacher a visit, but they did not consider him a serious threat.
This teacher apparently didn't get the memo from ACORN, Media Matters, Tony Podesta, SEIU, and Americorps: According to Obama's indoctrination program, math teachers are only allowed to teach our children the best angles from which [URL="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmnolte/2009/11/04/elementary-epidemic-11-uncovered-videos-show-school-children-performing-praises-to-obama/"]to praise and worship the president.[/URL]
(God, Michelle Malkin would've literally burst a blood vessel if this had happened with Bush in 2006 or something.)[/quote]The lesson ended with a bang.

Haha, oh man.
Alabama: Living up to its stereotype since 1819
Well at least it got the kids motivated.
I like the title. He doesn't specifically imply that it's Obama, even if that was his true intentions.
If I say I'm going to kill a faggot, that doesn't exactly mean I'd be gunning straight for Justin Bieber.[U][/U]
:page3:
Related, totally related.
I wish the FBI visited my school.
Because knowing math makes you a master sniper able and willing to assassinate the president.
If I was that teacher, I would teach them using JFK reloaded.

Yeah, it could of been any "the president"!
I hope whoever figured it out first got extra credit.
This isn't serious, my physics lecturer always uses ridiculous situations to teach us, it's one of the best ways to learn.
Well, did it teach them to effectively use geometry or not? :colbert:

Well, I think we can all agree that's what comes to mind at first...
Uh, where's the source?
bringing humour into the classroom. I like it.
"hey guys, today we're going to learn to shoot the president :v:"
Its a shame that I live in Alabama

A sentence linked in the article.
So? My crazy maths teacher a few years back spent a whole lesson explaining how to work out the volume of boobs.

Do you live in Alabama

wow
Dude!
"said Joseph Brown, a senior in the geometry class..."
lol, senior in geometryy

Alabama.
This is why nobody likes us.
Now tell me class, what is the optimal point at which to light a lynched negro on fire for maximum burn time?
Wow, dude.
(God, Michelle Malkin would've literally burst a blood vessel if this had happened with Bush in 2006 or something.) is the best part of the article.
There's gotta be more to this story, much as I would like to unleash my liberal outrage.
