Teacher banned after claiming Rosa Parks 'did not exist' and MLK was a 'fraud': report

A teacher who told students Rosa Parks "did not exist" and that American civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was guilty of plagiarism has been banned, according to a report Monday.

British teacher Patrick Lawler, 62, was accused of making several offensive comments about the Black civil rights icons, including claims that King was a “fraud and had embezzled lots of money," The Independent reported.

A parent reportedly complained about the teacher's statements that he apparently made during a medieval history lesson.
