Jeffrey Keene, 63, explained on Facebook that he wanted to link his course to an exercise aimed at preparing students for the possibility of an intrusion by an armed person. The teacher asked his students to write down their "impressions" related to this simulation and to think about the causes of the repetition of the massacres in the United States.

A small note specified: "Thank you for realizing (...) that it's not about bothering you at all" On Tuesday, Keene was fired. School authorities accuse him of having given an "inappropriate duty" to his students.
