SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah junior high teacher is on leave after she
instructed her students to read the lyrics of an Eminem song that
slams President Donald Trump.
Park City School District spokeswoman Melinda Colton said Tuesday
that the teacher was put on leave last week after a handful of
students and parents complained.
Colton says the veteran teacher at Treasure Mountain Junior High
School was trying to teach her students about biases in society when
she had them read the lyrics of "Like Home" by Eminem during class
two weeks ago.

But Colton says the lyrics and political message in the song weren't
appropriate.
Colton declined to give the teacher's name to protect her privacy. A
decision about whether the teacher will come back next school year
will be made after a full review of the incident.
