(NEW YORK POST) – A substitute teacher in Virginia is out of the classroom after saying he supported Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine, district officials confirmed Thursday.
John Stanton, 65, was suspended by Arlington Public Schools Tuesday due to comments he made during an eighth-grade Spanish class on Friday at Swanson Middle School, the Washington Post reported.
Stanton, a former journalist who previously worked for Russia’s state-owned Sputnik News, told the newspaper Tuesday he offered up his take during the first 10 minutes of the 90-minute class, urging students to read as many varied news sources as possible.
The post Teacher suspended for telling students he supported Putin's invasion of Ukraine appeared first on WND.
