Shooter drill inspired teacher to have students write their obituaries. He was fired

A high school teacher says he was fired after an active shooter drill inspired him to have students write their own obituaries.

Jeffrey Keene, who taught psychology at Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando, Florida, gave the assignment the same day an “active assailant” drill was scheduled to take place on campus, according to a post on his Facebook page.

The lesson included a segment where students were asked to write their own obituary as if it were “your last day alive,” according to a photo of his lesson plan.
