Two Teachers Taken Out Of Classrooms
Local parents are outraged that students from two high schools allegedly watched or listened to the graphic beheading of an American in Iraq while in class under the supervision of teachers.
Two teachers in the Grossmont Union High School District have been taken out of their classrooms for allegedly allowing students to see images of the actual decapitation.
A full investigation by the district is under way, said school officials.
Kristi Sarff, the parent of a high-school student, said she found it unacceptable that the students would be shown American hostage Nick Berg's decapitation.
"I would be appalled if I found out he was in a classroom and saw that," said Sarff. "It's one thing in the privacy of your home, but it's not something a public school should be showing."
The two teachers, one from Grossmont High School and one from El Capitan High School, are on administrative leave for allegedly allowing students to see graphic images of the decapitation.
Off-camera, a student at Grossmont High told NBC 7/39 that his social-sciences teacher played an audiotape of Berg screaming, and then the teacher allegedly showed two still pictures of video -- of images of Berg immediately before and after the decaptitation.
