Texas Teacher Reportedly Threatens to Give Students Zeros on Homework Assignment for Writing About Guns

Feb. 21, 2013 10:59am Mike Opelka

Earlier this week in Denton, Texas, the First Amendment seems to have been compromised by a few high school essays that mentioned the Second one.

High School seniors at Denton High School were given a simple assignment in their English class: Write a paragraph about something you did over the weekend. There was no additional direction on topics for the essay. However, a few students who wrote about guns, including attending a gun show or going to shop for a gun, were told that they would be given a zero on the assignment if they did not change what they were writing about.

The teacher, Mr. Dewey Christian, reportedly told the students that the topic was unacceptable.

Denton High School senior Alex Wright explained what happened to him:

“Mr. Christian said I want you all to write a paper, write about a fun experience you had… a nice experience. … So I said, me and my mom went to Cabella’s to buy a gun. As soon as he heard the word “gun,” he told me to sit down.”

Marshall Williams, another student in the class who was given the option of a zero on the assignment or a rewrite, told about going to the Fort Worth Gun Show – something he has posted on his Facebook page:

Denton High School Teacher Threatens Zero on Homework Assignmet for Writing About Guns

In the comments section of Williams’ Facebook of this photo he posted the following;

Today I held both the guns used in Aurora and at Sandy Hook Elementary. Contrary to popular belief, everyone in my vicinity did not die.

Classmates reportedly laughed at the students after their papers were rejected based solely on their subject matter.

Williams and his mother Kimberly visited the school on Monday and confronted Mr. Christian, recording the conversation with a cell phone camera:

After speaking with the teacher, Kimberly Williams and her son were not satisfied and demanded an apology. KDFW-TV that the school district and Dewey Christian sort of apologized. Marshall Williams says that the apology is not yet satisfactory.

The news outlet also reports that the school district claimed:

“The teacher’s intent was for guns not to be trivialized in any school situation because of recent events.”

After hearing the school district’s response, Marshall Williams replied:

“I don’t feel like I’ve gotten an apology yet. I feel like he has just stomped on our right to free speech. He told us we would not be allowed to express ourselves and didn’t even consider what we had said. He didn’t have a clue of the content of my paper before he told me… he just knew that my paper was about guns before he told me that I would be getting a zero on the assignment.”

Calls and emails from TheBlaze to Mr. Christian have gone unanswered.

Christmas 1959. I begged,pleaded and asked for a BB gun — got it and was thrilled! Wrote about the experience even drew a picture to go along with it. I got an A for my 5th grade class assignment! Wow how times have changed! I was a little girl that wanted to learn to hunt like my hunter dad in Michigan’s great southwest!

  I hate to say it again but I knew this would happen….the school’s are where the gun grabbers are going to start their guns are bad and people that own them are too program. It will not surprise me if a pro-gun teacher doesn’t rat out the system buy saying he was “instructed” to teach an anti-gun program to students. I hope that from now on every student that has to write for this nitwit has a pro-gun theme to their writing.

  When I was in high school, which was relatively recent, I had the option of studying in Israel for a semester. While there the whole group of us spent a few days on an IDF base and were trained to fire M-16s. This was a gun capable of automatic fire (we only used semi) and we each got to fire ten shots at an actual military shooting range.
  
  But if cours I went to private school.

  Better get comfortable with this kind of socialist education/indoctrination. This is the future if we keep permitting the spread of the International Baccalaureate (IB) into our schools. It is spreading like wildfire. And, it is partnered with the U.N. through UNESCO.

  I went to Brother Martin high School in New Orleans, it was a NJROTC high school run by the Brothers of Sacred Heart. We had a shooting team. In my junior year I brought a 30 cal carbine with a loaded 30 round clip for a show and tell assignment for English Comp. I took it down and put it back together while explaining how it was done. I could have shot the whole class plus the teacher and would have 1 round left but I got an A for the assignment so I did not shoot anyone.
  
  Oh, I also took the Public Service Bus to school with the gun in a paper bag with the barrel sticking out so everyone who saw me all day knew I was carrying an assault rifle.

  Most of Texas are not. But Denton is or was on the list for Agenda 21. Denton is also a big University town. After shootings or any type of school crimes/incidents, it might be understandable to be sensitive and aware about similar subjects. But if that was the reason the teacher or school officials reacted the way they did, then why did they not let the students finish reading their reports so they could have 1. Gotten a better more respectful idea what the papers were about 2. Noticed if there was anything REALLY alarming about the reports that needed a metting with the parents. ?
  Instead of just something grown boys and girls have done with their families and honorable nice good friends for 100 plus years.
  Again; Most of Texas are not. But Denton is or was on the list for Agenda 21. Denton is also a big University town.
  Might want to use safe browsing and see if your town or others are.

  The Branch Davidans were burned to death by the government while they were in their Church and School. I don’t remember many people being sesitive and aware about similar subject matter after that happened. FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi testified in open court that he saw Vicki Weaver in his scope and fired anyway. In fact, he murdered her. I don’t remember many people being sesitive and aware about similar subject matter after that happened.
  
  I don’t beleve that the First Amendment says …abriding the freedom of speech except for a period of time after something bad happens. Many people also try and convince us that the Second Amendment says …shall not be infringed except for firearms that are really scary looking. Public schools and parents seem to have done a lousy job of teaching freedom and liberty. People are willing to give them up on a whim!

  To (The Jerk) Regarding IB programs,
  As a person who has taught in an IB program for 18 years, I would suggest that you look at the specific curriculum choices made by the faculty, rather than the program itself. I primarily teach history of warfare in the 20th century, and the cold war, with a strong emphasis on the failures of international organizations to be an effective tool for protecting the peace, and the U.S. national interest. And critical thinking skills. The program is what the faculty choose to make of it.

  In the early 60′s, I broke the stock on my rifle. The following Monday I brought the rifle to school, repaired the stock in shop class and left the rifle there over night for the glue to dry. The next day, I carried the repaired rifle through the school on my way to the school bus. On the ride home, all the guys handled the rifle, examining my repair job.
  
  Not one teacher, not the bus driver, not one parent, complained that I’d assaulted their child, threatened a teacher or attempted to take over the bus and drive us all to Mexico for winter break. Nor did any fellow students complain about how frightened they were by the rifle.
  
  Until now. Most those same students are now liberal wussy communist/socialist democrats trying to disarm all Americans.

Liberals are moving to states with large Electoral College votes in hopes of swaying states to Democrat candidates. Many Conservatives/Republicans are beginning to flee these states. We can’t do this. If we change our demographics to states with fewer electoral college values, we will lose a lot of elections. Liberals have been doing this for a very long time. That is why we are seeing more Dems win.

Unfortunately, two states are beyond hope, CA and NY. These are cesspools beyond repair. Everywhere else is redeemable.

Texas is becoming purple as some say. We need to take back our colleges, even it means we act like Liberals to do so. We are going to see more and more schools in Texas with outrageous actions from teachers.

  Thankfully we’re an open-carry state. The likelihood of the gun grabbers revoking that law in Oregon is small, though it seems that every election here revolves around the Dem-dominated city of Portland. Whoever Portland votes for, wins.

  I get more than a little tired of people who know absolutely nothing about the state that I live in calling it names like a cesspool. Five county sheriffs in NY have already produced statements to the effect that they will not enforce unconstitutional laws or allow others to do so. More are sure to follow. While it is an uphill battle to push back against the liberal NYC vote, there has been a major conservative movement in Ny and a backlash is definitely brewing. Even if outnumbered by liberals, with 19.5 million residents, there are more conservatives in New York State than in most others. So, maybe before dividing Americans by geographic location, you could talk to someone who knows something.

  The Electoral College only determines the Presidential elections. The President is one person. The Congress is 535 people. The Congress is far more important than the Presidency. You could have an extermely conservative President but if you have a very progressive Congress that can override a veto, the President is pointless.

  If you read and understood his comment, he is saying that holding or owning an AR-15 does not mean you are going to go shoot up a bunch a kids who did nothing to you. Law abiding citizens are NOT the problem. The problem is whack jobs getting guns. The problem is teaching children that if they have a beef with someone, picking up a gun is not the answer. Criminals do not obey laws.
  
  It is okay if you don’t like guns, but don’t deny others the ability to have them as long as they follow the law. If they break the law, their will be consequences.

  He was making a statement about it not being the gun, nor someone like Him having one, that caused the shooting. In light of all the left hype about Sandy (using the tragedy for their power grabs) and this model weapon, especially by lawmakers going after our traditions of freedom, this was a fair statement. You are attacking and demonizing this child who was merely giving a reasonable assessment of the facts. So stuff it you hypocrite He is far more adult and freedom loving than you.

  He ‘s making a reasoned point you fool. He’s making the point that a deranged evil person with malicious and evil intent that uses an inanimate object to harm/kill people, is the perpetrator, not the inanimate object itself. Guns, knives, hammers, etc don’t kill by themselves! We have a people violence problem, not a inanimate object violence problem. Government cannot legislate evil away, ever. Societal breakdown, moral depravity, and cultural decay are to blame too. There were more gun owners in the 1950′s and not the mass shooting’s we see today.

The teacher is lucky he did not have me or my friends as students (an impossibility since we graduated 40 years ago this June). We would have set him up royally. How? Use pre-planned empty sentence patterns (the dark side of all those sentence grammar trees they used to make us do in school), so that regardless of what each of wrote about, each paper would have the exact same sentence structure, sentence for sentence. That way, only the topic would be different and so would be his reaction, depending on his personal views. The students in this guy’s class could still do that to him and probably get away with it. Just make sure some students write about his pet topics and others write in positive terms about his pet peeves.

  An English teacher pulled this stunt on my father. The wrote a pro 2nd Amendment paper. Their sibling who was a school teacher reviewed the paper for grammar, spelling and such.
  
  My parent was given a failing grade on the paper & did not pass the class. As a result they did not get their diploma. Yes, f_cking liberals f_ck people over every day.
  
  I like the ideal of using pre-planned empty sentence patterns. It is like EO using the same resumes for applicants of different ethnicities. Trap the teacher putting politics ahead of learning and excommunicate them from society.

  In a private sector union and trust me, the attempt at the gun control and the blaming of everyone else for bho ideology failing has pushed his support below 50% of course public sector is behind him all the way since they will gain more power. If the GOP would find something better to do than right to work laws every time they gain state power, then they would stand a better chance at national level. Remember the largest private sector unions all support keystone pipeline which he opposes. Reps are missing an oppurtunity here, but their moderate leadership always does. Most of the money unions put out to dems is defensive in nature, they just want to make a living too. Most of my brother’s and sisters are pro 2a, against the tearing down of our defenses, pro border fence, etc. But don’t want to lose their houses getting their pay cut in half and benefits lost in process. Wake up repubs because many union rank and file are moving right past you to libertarians

Just as it was written into the Congressional Record in the 60s, the Communist goals were to take over the schools, media, courtrooms and a major political party.

You can be the judge of how successful they were. Watch the American Communist Party website… they are 100% behind and applauding BO.

  For over twelve years of their life, from the age of six to eighteen, children in America and around the world attend a local school where they supposedly are equipped with the tools necessary to attend college and get a career. But how pure is the knowledge provided by their textbooks? Textbook propaganda is a tool that has been used since the invention of the printing press by communist dictators and democrat capitalists to mold the thoughts of a child into the goals of the state.
  
  Of all the propaganda artists of the years, no one is better known the Adolf Hitler. The leader of Nazi Germany saturated schools, government, and in every part of life with propaganda. “Give me the youth, and Germany will rule the World” he was once quoted saying- a saying that is far too true. The mind of a child is can be imprinted like a gosling and acquire the learned behaviors and attitudes of authority. Thus brainwashed, they become part of the dominant culture. Like the Spartans of ancient Greece, Hitler used this fact to his advantage, taking German boys away from their families and turning them into loyal soldiers who informed on their parents’ loyalties. With this strong backbone of support, aided by his skillful public speaking skills, Hitler was able to amass an army to conquer Europe.
  
  “Let me control the textbooks and I will control the state. The state will take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing. Your child belongs to us already..what are you

Eric Holder 1995: “What we need to do is change the way in which people think about guns, especially young people, and make it something that’s not cool, that it’s not acceptable, it’s not hip to carry a gun anymore, in the way in which we changed our attitudes about cigarettes.”
He also said that the school board should have some form of anti-violence or anti-gun message every day. “Every day, every school, at every level,”

“We have to be repetitive about this,” he said. “We need to do this every day of the week, and just really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way.”

“This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!” – Adolph Hitler, 1935, on The Weapons Act of Nazi Germany

  And THAT is why soetoro is pushing to get your four year olds into his indoctrination stations! If he has his way, you won’t even see your child after s/he is born, so that the parental bond can never be made! That will ever happen! Really? How many times have we already doubted what cannot happen? I never thought I would be limited to SEVEN rounds or that some dumb politician would insist that I need prohibitive insurance to exercize my 2nd Amendment rights! Didn’t southern racist democrats do that with poll taxes to stop blacks from voting?

This is becoming way too familiar. His parents did what they needed to do and good for them. We need to end the department of indoctrination and the teachers union needs to go. arne dunce is probably even more dangerous then barry boy. Gotta take back our schools and give our kids a chance, a real chance for an education and not an indoctrination.

We took our 16 year old to this gunshow, and I actually remember seeing this kid in the picture! We had a great time! Bought guns (son got a really nice air soft rifle), ammo, concealed carry accessories, new gun safe, and home decor. Lol! The difference between my kid an this young man? My son won’t get an F on his paper from his teacher (Mom) for writing about guns because I am having a torrid love affair with his principal (Dad). ;-) Who knew homeschooling could be so much fun?

  @ MANNAMOM
  
  I love your comments about homeschooling. It sounds like a wonderful curriculum. Not to mention your after-school activities for the school staff are tremendous.
  
  Keep on teaching!!!!!

Misconceptions? If there were any “Misconceptions” they were deliberate. A teacher shouldn’t be doing anything to stifle the creativity process even if rubs against their personal beliefs. The teacher is there to TEACH, not stand in judgement!

  Not all Texas teachers are like this weasel Mr. Christian. My sister, a Texas teacher, is about as conservative as they come. Albeit, she is so fed up with the system and the self-serving administrators in her district that she is about to throw in the towel and call it a day.

AT the end of the news clip, the talking head says basically that the school year is almost over so maybe the guys should just be quiet and not make anymore waves.

That’s it, encourage total compliance without question. just go along to get along. Nice way to keep the sheeple in line, twit. I wonder how the “news reporter” would have covered the story had it been some liberal-leaning student being censored by a conservative teacher on any other topic like, say, abortion or the joys of jihad. Don’t think we need to spell it out, do we?

And this is TEXAS! Imagine Colorado or Washington… Going to the medical marijuana store would be welcomed, but mention ( gulp) guns, and woe to the hapless brainwashed student…

  This is happening because of all the Californicators fleeing to Texas. Unfortunately they are bringing their INSANE politics with them, you know, the same ones that ruined CA in the first place.

And it will get worse and worse-all the little lib tyrants will be doing this and more. Good for the parent for getting involved and not just letting the son get the shaft after writing what he had done that was fun-FOR HIM. Guess they will be telling the kids what kind of ice crean is going to be their new favorite too. I so hate what is going on. Parents, take back your school boards, fight to get people who believe in the constitution on the boards. It is up to you.

  There are perfectly legitimate concerns parents have about techers (like the one in this story) and there are are completely imbecilic complaints from idiot parents – like this one:

Dewey Christian is apparently another Bill Ayes groupie, paid to indoctrinate your kids with anti-American BS, and eager to intimidate them when they don’t toe the line. Do to him what he would do to your kids if they didn’t toe the line. Give him a zero, and get rid of him.

Classic passive-aggressive censorship.

Get ready for far more folks. Interesting thing is that this was in Texas. What did the teacher THINK students were going to write about? Gun talk down there is probably in the top 5 conversational items. Sheesh.

I thought this type of BS only happened here in California.

Just remember, if you want your children to have a good education, you need to raise taxes and pay the teachers more money. They deserve it. Just look at the Los Angeles Unified School District. They gave the teachers a raise and now the high school graduation rate went from 50% to 51%.

  Putting more money in the schools doesn’t work. It has been tried repeatedly. Compare cost per student in different areas, the $ do NOT always match up with the test scores. The whole no child left behind standardized testing crap was to tell the unions : We know you are hosing us, but at least teach the kids !!
  
  Check the prices on private schools, and you may find that they cost less per student than the “free” schools, the quality is better and there is more parental control. Unfortunately not everyone can afford to pay twice for their kids education ( 1x taxes, 2nd time out of pocket).
  
  There are ways to fix the problem, but they would involve giving up government control…. which was the whole point of a federal department of education, right? I won’t say it could never happen… but I won’t hold my breath.

  you could confiscate every cent that every working person in the country made and give it to schools and you would would NOT get any better education system or graduation rate!!!! It’ like pouring money into an old car and expecting it to work like a new one … you just need to realize that your old Rambler is never going to work right and there is a VERY VALID reason why they stopped making Ramblers in 1969!!! No one liked them, no one wanted to drive one, they never worked right, they were dominated by commie union “workers” who also refused to work … so people went elsewhere to get transportation … when parents realize their kids are being sacrificed in this same system in public schools and take their kids elsewhere to be educated the same thing will happen to those commie indoctrination centers we now call public schools and when that happens this country will be the better for it!!! If I have to sell every thing I own, none of my grandchildren will ever set foot in a public school!!!!

  I’m pretty sure BULLITT2008 was employing a literary tool called sarcasm.

  1.harsh or bitter derision or irony.
  2.a sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cutting remark: a review full of sarcasms.

You give them an inch and they take it all. Guns won our freedom,Guns fed our people,guns guard our borders,they defend citizens,they fight oppression,GUN ARE THE ONLY REASON WE ARE FREE MEN IN THIS NATION. This liberal do_che doesn’t belong in a classroom he should be allowed to teach as his idea of teaching is bestowing his ideology onto students. And punishing those that don’t accept it.

The indoctrination of our children is no longer subvert. It is blatant and in the public eye now. They have gone far enough that they believe they can continue boldly, ruining the work ethic and morals of the future generations. Brainwashing them into thinking that the government is the source of all good.

The teacher is a fascist. That’s what happens when you belong to the NEA. The “teacher” is not only taking a dumb on the second amendment, but also the first. Public schools are cesspools of indoctrination and substandard poor quality personnel. They should be the LAST resort to educate your children. The goal of the public system is not to educate children but to turn out docile subjects, ignorant slaves that will buy the politburo’s BS hook line and sinker.

  Damn near…and they told us how they would do it. They published it, posted it, bragged it up and put their minions in our government, universities, schools, media…everywhere they said they would. And what did we do? We scoffed at the people who said…Hey, pay attention fools. In 75 years, we’ll be having this same conversation about Islam.

Well, Texas is becoming quite blue, so it’s no surprise. If you want liberty, go to a state that respects it as a whole. Texas has some nice communities, but it’s getting to the point that it’s only communities, not the state as a whole. Sorry Glenn, you’ve been sold a bill of goods. You should have moved to Utah, or Wyoming, or South Dakota, or Idaho. Now you’re left pimping for a state that is day by day acting more and more like NY.

The kid in the article is bad @ss cool, great way to demonstrate his point. :)

  Texas is not becoming blue. Texas WAS blue and turned red. Urban areas like Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and El Paso, as well as the Rio Grande Valley have always been blue. The difference is there is a large Rural Population that is red, and that is not going to change. Beck wasn’t duped, he knew what he was getting into…

  Um, I lived in Texas in the mid 1980′s. Didn’t seem very blue at the time. When do you believe it was “blue”? It’s getting bluer by the day if I understand reports correctly from Texans I know. Help a fellow out here, give me some info.

  San Antonio is becoming bluer because the Doublemint Twins essentially have mob rule and turning us into a de facto sanctuary city. In fact, the keynote speaker for this year’s Joint Base San Antonio Annual Awards is none other than Mayor Obamalite.
  
  The suburbs surrounding SA, once fine farmland, are being bled into. Also, because the libs from CA and NY have fled their high-tax areas for a more business-friendly state. Unfortunately, they brought their bass-ackwards politics with them and are polluting our state.
