A high-school math teacher in Indiana is suing two high school students who made a movie about a teddy bear that attacks a teacher.
This happened after the school expelled the students, and the students sued the school. The court awarded the students $69,000 and made the school expunge the suspension and expulsion records.
(Here's a trailer for the film, called "The Teddy Bear Master.")
The lawsuit claims the film mocked the teacher's appearance and mannerisms by portraying a math instructor named "Mr. Clevenger." It also contains "graphic depictions of violence" and the eventual murder of Clevenger and his wife, Christine, the lawsuit said.
