OCALA, FL – Thomas Roger Allison Jr., 53, was one of Marion County’s star teachers in 2016. But the Horizon Academy at Marion Oak Science teacher is now unpaid leave after calling Future Farmers of America (FFA) students “murderers.”
Reports of the the former teacher-of-the-year nominee bullying and harassing FFA students who raised livestock for slaughter reached the School District. This lead to Superintendent of Schools Heidi Maier’s investigation and recommendation.
In her recommendation, Maier writes that Allison “has engaged in a repeated, egregious pattern of mistreating, ridiculing, insulting, intimidating, embarrassing, bullying and abusing FFA students, crushing their dreams and causing them to feel that they must discontinue FFA activities in order to enjoy a peaceful school environment.” Maier calls for terminating Allison.
Allison is accused of telling FFA students, “When the animals’ throats are being slit, they are calling out your names, asking why you are not coming to save them,” referring to animals they raised and subsequently sold at the Southeastern Youth Fair.

I gotta say that this guy looks like he's no stranger to meat.
ReplyDeleteFFA is where our food comes from. Send him to Venezuela to live for a while. There's no food there because people are not allowed to free market. They are told what will be available today, maybe. A little of it, so hurry. Because the government says so..
ReplyDeleteWhy so upset these animals are raised for human consumption. That is why I cannot understand why people protest at chicken plants. They are raised to be food for us. Yet people are saying stupid stuff like cruelty to animals. For goodness sake we are going to kill the chickens to eat. What do you expect. Do we give the chickens air conditioning and a last meal. So stupid. But what do you expect from snowflakes that live in mom's basement and don't work. I guess they need some way to kill time. So they say "Hey let's protest something". Yeah that sounds like a good idea to waste time.
