Teacher's Racist and Homophobic Rant in Classroom

 

Bob Grisham, ROGERSVILLE — School district officials are investigating allegations that a Lauderdale County High School teacher made slurs in the presence of students regarding first lady Michelle Obama and gays. Superintendent Jennifer Gray confirmed the investigation concerns the school’s head football coach, Bob Grisham, who also teaches driver’s education and psychology.

The investigation includes a 1-minute, 24-second audiotape of Grisham asking who knows who is behind the 600-calorie school lunch.

“Fat butt Michelle Obama,” he said. “Look at her. She looks like she weighs 185 or 190. She’s overweight.”

Male voices interject comments during the discussion, at one point referring to Michelle Obama as a “fat gorilla.”

Later in the tape, Grisham referred to the U.S. as going in the “wrong direction” and tells the students they can “get pissed off at me or not. You can go tell the principal, call the superintendent and tell her. I don’t believe in queers. I don’t like queers, I don’t hate them as a person, but what they do is wrong and an abomination against God.”The tape was reportedly recorded by a student Monday and took place on school campus during the school day.

This has made national news around the world and IMHO, the guy should be fire. However, he has the support of his school and his community. It will be interesting to see what the school board does in the case. They could just let it go but to do so makes it look like Alabama hasn't changed in the last 50 years. In many cases that is right as you can see just from listening to the tape. The guy Bob Grisham is a nasty bigot.
