Michael Ducharme was about to be fired as a teacher at Eustis High School, in Central Florida. But he did the smart thing and quit. Ducharme, complaining about the heat, told his students that "I’m as hot as a pregnant nigger." He later apologized to his students, explaining that what he meant to say was, "I’m [...]
