RALEIGH, N.C. - A North Carolina substitute teacher has resigned after a student told his father that the teacher told his class that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was not assassinated but instead killed himself.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reports Billy Byrd also says his son told him the unidentified substitute music teacher told the class of minority students they were headed to prison because of their clothing. He said the teacher told the students they weren’t real Christians if they didn’t support President Donald Trump.
King was shot and killed as he stood on the balcony of a Memphis, Tennessee motel on April 4, 1968.
Wake County schools spokeswoman Lisa Luten says the teacher told the district Sunday she no longer wanted to be listed as a substitute teacher.

The school became aware of the students’ concerns Friday afternoon as classes were ending. The principal and staff talked with as many students as possible before the day ended. Based on those conversations, the substitute teacher was contacted over the weekend and immediately resigned. She is no longer eligible to teach in the district.

My master teacher told me that during student teaching. She also told me to document everything (excellent advice). 
I love you but sometimes I want to strangle the living fuck out of you! 
As a power trip, (northern) racist white teachers in black classrooms will publicly humiliate black children to establish an extra special level of dominance and supremacy. It happened to me (teacher not a sub) in a health class (I think it was 6th or 7th grade), where I had spent weeks putting together a report on the bones of the skeleton - complete with hand-drawn pictures of each bone with the name, explanation etc. The drawings were mounted on construction paper and when the report was complete, it was too thick to staple all the way through (and we didn't have a folder or anything to put it in). So my mom had a big butterfly paper clip on the end to secure it.
Fast forward to turning it in and as the teacher went through each person's report, she took mine and held it up by the paper clip in front of the class, ensuring that the whole thing came apart and dramatically fluttered to the floor. I would post what I thought of her then (and now) but would get my post hidden if I did. This was something that happened over 45 years ago and you don't forget it... which was the whole point of her, and ilk like her, doing it.
Of course when I got home that day and told my mom, she got the "lay her out" letters ready that night, which the next morning were sent to the teacher, her department head, the school principal, the school's (geographic) "district" Superintendent, and the school system's Superintendent. End of story? Teacher go bye bye.
This repugnant sewer dweller should be sued.
Jeebus, what in Holy Hell is going on here? I feel like the whole country is going stark ravngi mad.
