Joseph Flannery, a 7th grade Social Studies teacher, admitted he’s looking forward to his deployment.
“I’m in my late 50s and I’m sad to admit I get winded walking from my car to my classroom, but I thought about it and I can either get shot in a war overseas or I can get shot by some active shooter while I do a lesson about the Revolutionary War,” said Flannery.

Classic onion
This one is really good lol
Is this the best onion headline title ever?
My favorite from back in the day was “Area Man Passionate Defender of What He Imagines the Constitution to Be” but they’ve been cranking out some really good ones lately
That’s it, I’m making the “The Onion headlines that go hard” community.
Why? Do you feel like this community is not curated enough?
It’s just a joke :P
Too soon onion, too soon.
Also they’ll be able to call the local riot police whenever they need to remove any student from their classroom by claiming they’re being disruptive.
