School reviewing teacherâs decision to show kids Sept. 11 footage
This is a load of BSAURORA - An 8th grade teacher in the Cherry Creek School District was placed on administrative leave after showing his class a CNN video of the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Jason Ritter, who teaches social studies, showed the video as part of a lesson he presented on the anniversary of the terrorist attack. However he didnât get permission from parents or administrators first. The next day he was put on paid administrative leave. âI was just told I was being put on administrative leave, until they could sort out both sides of the story,â Ritter said. âThen theyâd let me know when I would be ready to go back to the classroom." He was told to submit a statement detailing why he showed the video in class. The school district was planning to meet about the case Monday morning. Posted by: Yosemite Sam 2003-09-15 |
