Oakwood Collegiate drama teacher Jeff Jones has been fired, the Toronto District School Board confirms, for distributing inappropriate blonde and dead baby jokes to his students.

In early January, parents say Jones distributed a seven-page handout filled with line after line of jokes about sexual violence, racism and dead babies. He was later put on home assignment by the board. Many of the more than 100 jokes cannot be printed in the Star.

It’s unclear what the assignment was, as there were no instructions or questions included with the pages of jokes.

Parents said students in the Grade 9 and 10 class were told to pick five jokes and prepare a comedy skit about them. A Grade 12 student claimed the jokes were examples students were to follow when writing their own one-liners.
