Fort Wayne South Side High School in the tank for Obama with KKK posters
Posted by: AWB in 2008 Presidential Race, Health & Education, Politically Incorrect, The Radical LeftUPDATED: 11:40 a.m.
Principal Smith just called me back He stated the drawings were the result of a government social studies class. It involved discussions concerning political satire, how political satire is used, and why it is used.
As a result of that lesson students were asked to make a satirical drawing (not poster) that would be provocative. The teacher (a student teacher) posted the drawings on the wall They were drawn on 8.5 X 11 sheets of paper.
Smith also stated that actions have been taken against the student teacher, but it was not being turned over to the Fort Wayne Community School Board, it was being handled internally (whatever that means).
Smith would not release the name of the student teacher.

This weekend SAT’s were held at South Side High School. I received the following in an email regarding a couple of drawings in one of the rooms where SAT’s were being held.
One of my children went to South Side High School for his SAT and was in room A214. There were 2 drawings hung up, one was Klansmen walking around with McCain signs and the other one was McCain = Death. This is real interesting for a Fort Wayne Community school. There were others hung up but not as outrageous as this.
I’ve been trying to figure out a way to get into the school to get pictures, but as I was planning my sneak attack, a concerned citizen who was also notified called the school yesterday and spoke to principal Mr. Thomas Smith about the posters.
Smith told the concerned citizen he went to the room and retrieved the KKK/McCain poster, but could not find the McCain=Death drawing. He told the concerned citizen it was part of a student/teacher class project of drawings in ink. Smith told the concerned citizen he took them down.
The student also noted that the person working the door had on a Fort Wayne Community Schools ID tag with an Obama sticker placed on it. The concerned citizen has contacted school board members regarding the incident, and I will update on that once I hear more.
I called for principal Smith today and had to leave a message. That was at 11:03 a.m. I told his secretary I was running the story and would like his comment on it. Once I get the call back (assuming I do), I will update this post.
