US Teacher Suspended For Showing Class The Human Centipede 2

A high school teacher in Jackson, Tennessee has been suspended after screening notorious horror movie ‘The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence’ to a class of students.

The age of the children has not been revealed, nor has any explanation been given as to why they were being shown the film.

However Verna Ruffin, superintendent at Jackson Central-Merry High School, told The Jackson Sun, “The matter has been addressed. It’s inappropriate and unacceptable.”

The unnamed teacher reportedly remains suspended pending an internal investigation.

The second and most controversial installment in the infamous series, 2011′s ‘The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence’ is a meta-horror movie centred on a depraved fan of the original film, played by British actor Laurence R Harvey, who sets about constructing a human centipede of his own.

It was initially banned in the UK by the BBFC, on grounds of “sexual and sexualised violence, sadistic violence and humiliation, and a child presented in an abusive and violent context.”

Eventually the film was resubmitted and passed with an 18 certificate after cuts.

Tom Six, writer-director of the ‘Human Centipede’ trilogy, has praised the suspended teacher on Twitter, declaring, “This awesome teacher gets a specially signed copy of THC2 from me!”, and arguing, “It should be mandatory to watch THC2 in school classes. It deals with a character that is bullied and what to do!”

This news comes roughly 15 months after Ohio substitute teacher Sheila Kearns was found guilty of child endangerment after showing horror movie ‘The ABCs of Death’ to five separate classes, for which she was fired, fined $10,000 and sentenced to 90 days in jail.
