A psychology high school teacher was fired in Florida after recently asking his students to write their own obituaries ahead of an active shooter drill.
Speaking with Fox 35 Orlando, Jeffrey Keene recalled that there was going to be an active shooter drill at Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando one day, and thought he could somehow tie it into his psychology lesson. However, part of what the teacher came up with was that his junior and senior classes could pen their own obituaries. Keene explained to the outlet that the lesson plan was to teach them how to stay safe during an active school shooting while also helping them reflect on their own lives:

The Orange County School District said in a statement to NBC News that they’d received complaints from families about the assignment, which they determined to be “inappropriate”:
Ultimately, Keene told the outlet that he does not regret giving the assignment and plans to appeal the termination:
