Teacher Suspended for Making an Ass of Himself
Stephen Murmer is like almost any other high school art teacher. He is loved by his Richmond, Virginia students and a gifted artist. He's also a Marine Corps vet and former Teacher of the Year. So what makes his story unusual? It seems that Murmer also enjoys painting with his butt. Literally. It seems that Murmer's idea of art is to rub paint on his bare buttocks and genitals and then rub himself against canvas. The imprints typically sell for hundreds of dollars a piece.
According to MSNBC, Chesterfield County school district officials did not take Murmer's recreational activities sitting down. They screamed foul and suspended Murmer. The officials are arguing that it really stinks that a high school teacher would use his private parts to create art. But is this as crappy a situation as they make it out to be?
Murmer did not expose himself to his students. He was careful to hide his identity and used a fake name. Some would say that he kept his professional artist persona hidden behind the scenes. So how did word get out? YouTube.
