Chesterfield lost a tremendous asset today

That's the awesome quote from an attorney for a fired high school art teacher. The attorney also said the vote that tossed Stephen Murmer out on his ass was "a bad day for the First Amendment."
Can you believe this? I'm not usually into the whole LOL thing, but this is pure OMFG we've got here, right?
What's that? A link would help? (scrolling up) Uh, yeah, it would, wouldn't it? Sorry about that...
An art teacher whose off-hours work as a so-called "butt-printing artist" became widely circulated among high school students has been fired.Want to guess how people found out about the butt-printer's hobby? If you guessed YouTube, you are totally right...
Murmer, a teacher at Monacan High School, was suspended in December after objections were raised about his private abstract artwork, much of which includes smearing his posterior and genitals with paint and pressing them against canvas.
The unique approach to art became a topic when a clip showing Murmer, wearing a fake nose and glasses, a towel on his head and black thong, turned up on YouTube.com and became the talk of the high school.Stephen can make as much as $900 for one of his pieces of art, and now he has plenty of time to work on expressing himself. I'd suggest he will put his nose to the grindstone, but that's not even close to the appropriate body part.
