Lake Stevens teacher suspended for shooting remark

Associated Press - May 16, 2007 12:05 PM ET

A Lake Stevens (Washington) high school teacher is on leave while the district investigates a remark he made to a class. A parent complained that the teacher, Gary McDonald, told students Monday he would take anyone talking in class and line them up against a wall and shoot them. District spokeswoman Arlene Hulten says if the complaint is substantiated, McDonald could face a range of discipline from a verbal reprimand to suspension. She says the 60-year-old McDonald already plans to retire next month. In February he was reprimanded for including a biblical account of creation in an assignment on myths.
