Police Won’t Act Against Nate Fisher

Authorities in Guilford, Connecticut have concluded their investigation and have decided that no criminal charges are necessary against former teacher Nate Fisher, who resigned his position after parental and administrative negative reaction to his assigning a student Eightball #22 as a make-up assignment. That award-winning comic, which was later re-purposed into a book from Pantheon called Ice Haven, contains partial nudity and bad language. According to this article, a must-read because it contains the first words from Fisher himself about the ordeal, state authorities have also declined to press charges. Apparently, the charges being investigated were "breach of peace" and "impairing the morals of a minor." Fisher remains hopeful that this will not eliminate every possibility that he will teach again.
