Teacher fired for panting with butt, settles lawsuit

“I think the issue of free speech is a really complex issue, not something that can be decided in simple slogans. "I think this was an important and principled stand that Steve Murmer took, and that seems to be lost on everybody.”

Stephen Murmer, the "pioneer of butt painting" according to Ripley's Believe It or Not, will have a $65,000 cushion for being fired as a Chesterfield County art teacher. via WSLS
