Teacher kills, skins rabbit in class

BOISE, Idaho -- A biology teacher is facing possible disciplinary action after killing and skinning a rabbit to show students where their food comes from. Nampa School District spokeswoman Allison Westfall says the teacher killed the rabbit in front of 16 students by snapping its neck Nov. 6 at Columbia High School. The rabbit was skinned and cut up in front of the 10th-graders. Westfall says the demonstration isn't part of the biology curriculum. The teacher's name hasn't been released.
