Substitute Teacher Troofer

A reader points me to this strange, but unfortunately not unexpected, story. Thinking back to the quality of teachers I had as substitute teachers when I was a kid, it is not really a surprise.

A student at a public, taxpayer-funded high school in Michigan clandestinely filmed a substitute teacher preaching crazy conspiracy theories in front of a high school physics class last month.

Sources who wish to remain anonymous for fear of retribution from school officials have told The Daily Caller that the incident occurred on Jan. 16 at Grosse Pointe North High School in a ritzy suburb of Detroit, Mich. They say the substitute teacher is Jason Glicker.

It is too bad. I really did like Grosse Point Blank.

“The ISI is funded indirectly by the CIA so, whether they knew it or not, they were funding the terrorists,” he explains. Then: “One of the hijackers, Mohamed Atta, he was not a Muslim extremist because, (a) He’d been living here for years. He had an American girlfriend. He was supposedly addicted to cocaine.”

Glicker argues that Atta was “not a Muslim extremist” because “if you’re a Muslim fundamentalist, you know, you would stick to, you know, the laws of Islam.”

Next, a confused student asks why the September 11 terrorists killed themselves?

“That’s where it gets weird,” the physics sub cheerfully responds. “That’s where I think it’s somewhere along the lines of something like MKUltra where they’re, like, brainwashing these people.” The teacher does not specify who “they” is. However, he immediately goes on to claim that the CIA was responsible for the Jonestown Massacre, when 909 people drank poison on the orders of cult leader Jim Jones. He suggests that the incident was “probably just an offshoot of the MKUltra program.”
