RIO RANCHO, N.M. (AP) — A New Mexico high school teacher has left her job after a student rewrote the biblical story about Jesus handing out bread and fish to the poor into a narrative about Jesus handing out marijuana to the sick.
Katrina Guarascio, a creative writing teacher at Cleveland High School in the Albuquerque suburb of Rio Rancho, had assigned students to take a fairy tale or legend and rewrite it in modern times.
KOAT-TV (http://goo.gl/D84SKO ) reported Monday that Guarascio says a student got offended by the story and told her parents.
The teacher says she recently quit after the district put her on administrative leave. Guarascio says she felt targeted and harassed.
A Rio Rancho Schools spokeswoman says Guarascio was not forced to resign but chose to do so.

GOd MADE POt. SO it’s GOOD. unless YOU SMOke IT. WhicH is bad.
Am I missing something here? Was the teacher involved in the student’s decision to write this story, or was she as surprised as the rest? What grade did this take place in? There’s just not enough context here to warrant a “WTF” or “Hell Yeah.”
That kid deserves an A+…what a clever little bastard haha
As for her, she clearly did nothing wrong and this is why we need unions.
What she was supposed to do was gather the other students around and stone the offending essayist to death, lest the heresy spread. It’s all in the teacher’s manual.
The details of one fairy tale or another really don’t matter.
It’s all made up bullshit, anyway.
