A Montreal teacher has been fired after showing his Grade ten class the video believed to show the death and dismemberment of Jun Lin.
In a report by CBC News, the substitute teacher was informed of the schools board’s decision on Thursday one day after he was suspended with pay.
Students at Cavelier-de LaSalle high school voted in favour with three objecting to view the video on the morning of June fourth. A discussion about the video followed the viewing.
The school board has condemned the screening and it said it took immediate action by bringing in a crisis team to counsel students.
Students had rallied in favour of the popular teacher to protest his firing.
