Florida Teacher Fired for Making Students Write Obituaries for Active Shooter Drill

A Florida teacher was fired after asking his students to write their own obituaries in advance of an on-campus active shooter drill. The teacher, Jeffrey Keene, said the assignment was meant to help students reflect on their lives and prepare for the drill. The incident has once again highlighted the bizarre decisions within Florida's public education system, which has banned discussions of gender and sexual identity in classrooms but supports keeping guns accessible. The state has seen over 100 shootings at K-12 schools or during school-related activities this year.
