Follow-up: Richmond teacher resigns over 'anti-Muslim' materials

[TexasTowelie]

A senior government and economics teacher at Foster High School in Richmond has resigned after handing out materials to students on March 27 that called Muhammad a "false prophet" and described Islam as an "ideology of war."

In a statement released on Tuesday night, a Lamar CISD spokesman said the teacher turned in his resignation on April 8.

The teacher, identified by parents familiar with the class as Herby Woolverton, drew public criticism from the community, including from the Houston Council On American-Islamic Relations, which called the eight-page handout "virulently anti-Muslim."

Both supporters and critics of the teacher's materials took to social media in response to the controversy.

1. Good riddance!

I have no sympathy for anyone who tries to twist the minds of impressionable children, or deliberately feeds them falsehoods to promote his own hateful bigotry. Still, have no doubt that a new position in the private sector will be in his future, where he can continue poisoning vulnerable kids.
