US: Teacher's Facebook rant comparing gay-straight alliance to 'deer poaching' under investigation
A bizarre Facebook rant in which a teacher compared a gay-straight alliance starting at his school to a ‘street racing’ or ‘deer poaching’ club is under investigation.
According to the Parkersburg News and Sentinel , Wood County Schools in West Virginia are investigating the post, in which science teacher David Foggins also compared the GSA to a drug addicts club
Posting a picture of the club’s flier on Friday, the Parkersburg South High School teacher wrote: “Club meeting at PSHS!! Rally around them and show ur support. We are also considering a drunks-t totaller club, drugged/sober club, smokeless tobacco vs smokes club, street racing, and deer poaching clubs. Please donate and support us. Thank u!!! I think I hear the drag already zinging.”
In a short statement released yesterday, Superintendent Pat Law said the incident was being looked into.
He said: “The situation is under investigation and therefore we can not comment further at this time”.
Foggin told the News and Sentinel: “I just can’t comment right now.”
