Jefferson County geometry teacher uses wrong example to teach angles
The Birmingham News



A Jefferson County teacher picked the wrong example when he used
asÂ*sassinating President BarÂ*ack Obama as a way to teach angles to his
geomeÂ*try students.


Someone alerted authoÂ*rities and the Corner High School math teacher was
questioned by the Secret Service, but was not taken into custody or
charged with any crime.



"We did not find a credible threat," said Roy SexÂ*ton, special agent in
charge of Birmingham's Secret Service office. "As far as the Secret
Service is concerned, we looked into it, we talked to the gentleman and
we have closed our investigation."



Obama-1201.jpgA Corner High geometry teacher picked the wrong example,
President Barack Obama, to use in a lesson on angles. The lesson
resulted in a Secret Service investigation. (AP) Sexton said he
generally doesn't discuss threat cases, but confirmed his ofÂ*fice
investigated the inciÂ*dent. No federal charges followed the probe.



The teacher was apparÂ*ently teaching his geometry students about
parallel lines and angles, officials said. He used the example of where
to stand and aim if shooting Obama.



"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.



Efforts to reach the teacher for comment MonÂ*day were unsuccessful.


Superintendent Phil Hammonds said the teacher remains at work, and there
are no plans for termination.



"We are going to have a long conversation with him about what's
appropriate," Hammonds said. "It was extremely poor judgment on his
part, and a poor choice of words."



Caroline Polk, the parent of a ninth-grader at the school, said she
doesn't beÂ*lieve the teacher ought to be fired.



"We all make mistakes, and we should be able to learn from our
mistakes," she said. "What he said was just wrong and inappropriÂ*ate.
Everyone's got their own opinions, but we have to be aware of our
surÂ*roundings. At this point, it just needs to be handled in a way that
it won't be reÂ*peated."
