The “Butt Artist” gets a $65,000 settlement
Chesterfield County settles with Mr. Murmer after firing him for painting with his body parts on his free time and off of school property. Ultimately this is probably more money than he originally would have gotten from one of his paintings, I would think. However, I bet they are pretty expensive now.
“I am pleased with this settlement,” said Stephen Murmer. “I hope my case will cause schools to think twice before they fire a teacher for expressing himself outside the classroom. This settlement represents a vindication of me and the First Amendment.”
