The Oregon teacher who announced his intention to “dismantle and demolish the Tea Party” has been placed on administrative leave until the school district where he works finishes its investigation and decides his fate.
The state’s Teacher Standards & Practices Commission is also conducting an investigation into Jason Levin, a media teacher at Conestoga Middle School in Beaverton, a school district employee who requested anonymity, told FoxNews.com.
Levin has come under fire for saying he’d do anything short of throwing rocks to bring down the Tea Party. In the last two days the Beaverton School District has received thousands of e-mails and phone calls from people across the country who said they were outraged at his behavior.
The school district is investigating whether Levin’s political behavior is appropriate for a middle school teacher. The source within the district said parents at Conestoga did not initially appear upset at Levin’s anti-Tea Party activism — but that changed in recent days as controversial statements continued to emerge.
