Obama effigy hung at RI school with fired teachers (AP)

March 19, 2010

In this Tuesday, March 9, 2010 photo, former student Ashley Delgado, left, stands with a sign next to Joe Clavin outside Central Falls high school in Central Falls, R.I.  Instructors and staff will be fired after the end of the school year in a desperate move to improve student performance at the school. The firings were provoked by dismal student performance: In 2009, fewer than half of its students graduated within four years.

(AP Photo/Michael Dwyer)AP - A teacher at a failing school where he and all his colleagues are being fired hung an effigy of President Barack Obama in his classroom, apparently in reaction to Obama's support of extreme measures to ensure accountability in schools.
