An Orlando, Florida, teacher says that he was fired for teaching a lesson that asked students to write an obituary leading up to a school shooting drill to reflect on their lives.
"If they died 24 hours from now, what would they do differently than they did yesterday?" Keene asked."And that’s to get them to get rid of all the fluff and show them what’s important in the world. It wasn’t to say, 'You’re going to die, and let's stress you out.'"
Keene, who has been a teacher since 2008 and started working at the school in January, said that a student got upset during the first period assignment, although he put a disclaimer at the bottom that said the lesson was not meant to upset them.During the next period, a school counselor came to observe the class, and Keene said that supervisor"shut him down" when he began talking to students about what to do if they are in the bathroom during a school shooting.
"I was stunned," Keene said."I was talking to students about the world they live in, gun safety, active shooters."In a statement to Fox News Digital, the school district confirmed that it deemed the lesson to be"inappropriate" and that he is no longer employed.
