Teacher Resigned After Committing Racist (And Stupid) Act

Georgia teacher Greg Dougherty must've thought that wearing "an exaggerated, Afro-style wig with brownish makeup covering his face and arms" at a Central High School basketball game was a good idea at the time. But now he's having second thoughts.

CNN.com reported that Dougherty apologized and resigned from his teaching position after getting busted for wearing blackface to the game on March 25 (that's two days after may birthday, which really sucks).

[Note: The article added that, in 1999 Dougherty was accused of making sexually inappropriate remarks to female students.]
