A high school teacher in the US state of Florida has been fired after he assigned students to write their own obituaries ahead of an active shooter drill.
The Orange County School District said in a statement seen by news media that "a teacher gave an inappropriate assignment about school violence... [and] has been terminated." It provided no further detail.
He further asked students to think about "why the United States is having so many mass shootings," and to consider "what kind of 'positive actions' can we... take to 'decrease the number of mass shootings?'" "If you can't talk real to [the students], then what's happening in this environment?" Keene asked. "In my mind, I've done nothing wrong."
