Butt printer canned
RICHMOND, Virginia — An art teacher whose off-hours work as a so-called “butt-printing artist” became widely circulated among high school students has been fired.Stephen Murmer was suspended in December after objections were raised about his private abstract artwork, much of which includes smearing his posterior and genitals with paint and pressing them against the canvas.His paintings sell for as much as $900 US on his website.The local school board voted unanimously Tuesday night to fire him, a spokeswoman said.The board reasoned that students have a right to receive their education in an environment free from distractions and disruptions, she said.
