Nashville teacher under investigation for off-color test
Metro schools launched an investigation into the test allegedly distributed by Pearl-Cohn High School art teacher Warren Riker, 34, on Thursday.
“He has admitted that he did share this with three to four of his students and indicated that … he thought it was funny, amusing,” Metro schools spokeswoman Olivia Brown said. “It was not intended to be a class assignment or anything that was shared with a large number of students.”
One of the questions asked, “Rufus is pimping for three girls. If the price is $65 for each trick, how many tricks will each girl have to turn so Rufus can pay for his $800-per-day crack habit?”
The spoof of a math test also asked students to calculate the value of cocaine, reflect on whether their family lives in a trailer park and determine how long a person would go to jail if they killed their wife.
Riker, who has been with the school system since 1997, could face discipline that includes a letter of reprimand, suspension or dismissal, officials said.
