A substitute teacher showed third graders horror movies and gave them handouts on rappers.
As much as I'm a proponent of scaring kids, this is neither the time or the place. Even if the sub was allowed to show them movies in class in lieu of a lesson plan, there's plenty of terrifying age appropriate movies.
As for rap, there are plenty of rappers and rap songs that don't have excessive cursing.
The only conclusion I can come to is the teacher can't be fired, but is done working with kids. The infamous rooms of teachers who can't be put with children but keep getting paid is this sub's destination. Or maybe it's just the most creative 2 weeks notice of all time.
Let's hope the blame stays on the sub, not the material itself; so far so good, but this kind of thing turns on a dime. If any of those kids grow up to be criminals, someone will trace it back to this 'mentally scarring' incident. Keep your fingers crossed.

Don Bluth alone can cover a year of nightmares. Also, HOLY CRAP, A DON BLUTH KICKSTARTER!
