Brickbat: Very Mature

Joshua Brandon Lewis reportedly shot at pupils with a staple gun, pulled chairs from underneath them, made inappropriate comments to female students and placed some students in headlocks. But it was a remark about a student's vagina that finally got him canned at Carlton le Willows Academy in England. One student said a drawing looked like her friend's vagina. Lewis said something to the effect of: "If your vagina looks like that, you've got a problem." He later admitted it was a "stupid comment." Lewis has now been banned from teaching by the Teacher Regulation Agency.

The drawing probably looked nothing like an actual vagina, much like the ones usually seen drawn inside port-a-johns.

He was fired because his suggestion to have her anatomy checked would have placed a greater burden on NHS.
"...shot at pupils with a staple gun, pulled chairs from underneath them, made inappropriate comments to female students and placed some students in headlocks."
That was ordinary behavior for a student bully when I was in high school.

You gotta have priorities.
The only surprise here, is this isn't a government school AFAIK. Usually government school employees can't be fired, unlike this juvenile teacher. And usually the problem teachers are in government schools as a result. I wouldn't be surprised he applied to teach at a government school, and got accepted.

Ok, why are we assuming that he was banned because of that remark alone? From the sounds of it, that remark might just have been the last straw.
