Local teacher out after bin Laden comment
HOUSTON
The teacher was put on leave after making the alleged remark May
2, hours after bin Laden was killed in a U.S. military raid.
The incident involved a female student in a ninth-grade algebra
class at Clear Brook High School in Friendswood, located 23 miles
southeast of Houston.
District spokeswoman Elaina Polsen on Monday declined to say if
the teacher was fired or resigned.
Polsen said the comment did not reflect school or district staff
attitudes. Houston-area Muslim leaders said last week they were
pleased with the district's response.
