#4 "Turner, 35, a popular teacher whose classroom walls, students said, are adorned with posters of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara."

#5 The fines aren't just pocket money, either, but up to $65,000 per person. More from the Post:

"I don't know anything about the trip because it wasn't school-sponsored. I only care about the trips that go through the school," Principal Lacey said. "This, to me, would be an outrage if it happened."

But the trip was advertised on the school's Web site in the fall. And a list of 30 students selected in November to take the journey and to attend preparation classes for it could be found on its Web site last week.
