A New Mexico high school teacher resigned over complaints that she allowed a student to write an assignment about Jesus handing out marijuana.
Katrina Guarascio, who taught creative writing at Cleveland High School in Rio Rancho, asked students to rewrite a fairy tale or legend in a modern setting, reported KOAT-TV.
One of her students updated the biblical story of Jesus handing out fish and bread to the poor and depicted Jesus giving marijuana to the sick.
“I don’t take any personal offense,” Guarascio said. “It’s not written for me, it’s written for them. It’s how they can express themselves.”
Another student became highly offended when the students reviewed one another’s work, and the teen told her parents – who filed a complaint in October with the school.
