WRITE A HEADLINE FOR THE FOLLOWING STORY:
An elementary school teacher resigned after her superiors
threatened to reprimand her for letting a group of students
continue a research project on rap musician Eminem.
Administrators told music teacher Cassie Johnson, 24, to cancel
the
sixth graders' project after parents complained their child had
found
inappropriate material on the Internet.
Principal Brian Krob declined to discuss details
of the incident.
Johnson said she assigned different topics to
the students after the parents' complaint but
then allowed them to continue it after learning
that students in another class were allowed to
give a presentation on the same subject.
She said the presentation didn't have any references to Eminem's
lyrics, which contain obscenities and references to violence.
Johnson turned in her resignation to the Tipton school board
on
Feb. 16. The board accepted it last week after a 20-minute closed
discussion.
