Teacher, May I Be Consumed?

Cannibalism and pedophilia are two topics generally shunned in educational psychology circles, but Long Island elementary school teacher Michael Reiner successfully synthesized both taboos on his website, widening the concept of giving back to the community.

Like many intellectual pioneers, Reiner was thwarted by traditionalist clock stoppers who fear the learning potential of child pornography. On a rendevous to meet his fellow webmaster, our perpetually jealous northern neighbors seized Reiner’s laptop at the Ontario border, claiming that images of young boys in sexually provocative poses are illegal in Canada. Canadian police additionally stated that Reiner admitted his fetish for young boys, slavery, and cannibalism, although he never actually consumed human flesh.

Until his arrest, Reiner taught at the Long Island School for the Gifted, a private school in Huntington Station, where progressive administrators recognize the differentiated instructional possibilities afforded by cannibal pedophilia. When the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement visited Reiner’s school, school officials dismissed them as “ignorant,” and seemingly regretted firing their “beloved teacher” who had “excellent rapport with students…and parents."

Most school administrators sweat like boiling missionaries if mom calls and complains about too much math homework, or she feels that little Paige should not read Monster by Walter Dean Myers. Michael Reiner, the post-modern John Dewey, was arrested for spearheading a website devoted to one of the strangest niche fetishes ever clicked upon, yet officials at his school praised his teaching abilities. Perhaps he can secure funding and soon break ground on The Donner Party Country Day School for Curious Boys. Truly, no child left behind.

When we walked by we noticed that the house mysteriously had no number visible anywhere except for the above curb marker half obscured by weeds.
