Your Asshat of the Week: David Burk

Our asshat nominees this time out included an Illinois school teacher and his coterie of enablers/supporters, two television networks, and an unhinged Hollywood actor with more cuts than a Thanksgiving turkey.

Surprisingly, the Illinois educator takes the crown. I guess we simply have learned to expect asshattedness from the other candidates and we hold public school teachers to a higher standard. Results after the break.

David Burk, the consumer education teacher at Geneva High School in Geneva, Illinois wins the asshat crown for reportedly asking several different classes he was teaching how they would feel about  "...your tax dollars going to pay some black fag in New York to take pictures of other black fags?" After a student filed a complaint, Burk was let off with a warning from the school board, and cheers from the comment section of the local paper. 

Here are the voting results for this week's poll:
