A Swedish teacher and photographer was sacked on the same day he dared to call a student ‘fag’, it was reported today (20 October).

The Helsingborg schoolteacher, who has not been named in the report, was asked to take pictures of the new classes earlier this month.

‘Fag number one, you can stand over here,’ he allegedly shouted at one of the students.

That was a big mistake.

The photo shoot was stopped, and the school’s principal was summoned. The offended boy in question went to call his parents.

‘When I found out what the photographer said, I felt that this required immediate action,’ the headmaster told Helsingborgs Dagbladet newspaper.

‘He did not respect our values ​​and offended a student. As an adult, you must think about what you say to students.’

The man, who also taught photography at the school, was immediately thrown out of the school and told to return later that day. On a later meeting with the principal and the photography company’s CEO, he was fired on the spot.

‘He apologized to me but it did not help. I decided he must be let go immediately, which he understood,’ the company CEO said.

‘He broke the company’s rules ​​by speaking inappropriately. We can only apologize to the student involved. The matter is now settled.’
