In a small town of  Slidell, La., a teacher, Robert Duncan, was fired from Boyet Junior High School for showing the students' cartoons of president Barack Obama, which some people thought were racist and violent. One of the photos had a bullet in obama's head which disturbed a parent who then reported the photo to the media. The student explained that the bullet hole was an accident due to a marker that had been dropped. Robert Duncan said that the cartoons were representing political points of view being expressed, the lesson was designed to show pro or anti-Obama. Boyet Supervisor  of  administration Michael Cosse even admitted that if the story hadnt been all over the news, Duncan would probably still have his job.
