"Well, the Jerk Store called, they're running out of you." George Costanza
We all recall a teacher or two in school who was simply a jerk.
That being said, meet Kerry Bentivolio, a high school teacher who resigned earlier this year and is now the Republican candidate for the 11th Congressional District, which includes western Wayne and Oakland counties.
Kathleen Gray of the Detroit Free Press has written a story that portrays him in a very unflattering way.
She writes:
On the first day of school last year, Kerry Bentivolio told students in his English class at Fowlerville High School that he had one goal: to make each one of them cry at least once.
Gray, who obtained his records under the Freedom of Information Act, also wrote that he was reprimanded earlier this year for "intimidating and threatening students by grabbing their desks and yelling in their faces or for slamming his fists on their desks."
He resigned in June. -- A.L.
