Lawrence - In a place where fitting in is everything, U.S. History teacher Tim Latham says because he did not fit in politically at Lawrence High School his job is on the line.

“He was a good teacher,” said Chloe Mercer, a recent Lawrence High School graduate and former student of Tim Latham.

“He actually kept me interested. He taught it so well,” said Shelby Lewis also one of Tim Latham’s former students and a Lawrence High School junior.

Despite these students opinions about Latham it appears the Lawrence School District does not agree. The first-year teacher said he received a non-renewal of contract notice at the end of this year.

A local version of a story I posted during the week. Thank you Shawna for the link.

If you live in Lawrence, you need to scream loud and long for this teacher.
