Read the alleged letters. Do those read like messages from angry rednecks or do they read like something that someone imagining what rednecks would sound like if they took the time to write emails or letters?

Students did indeed spread the photo around Snapchat and made his life at school horrible. I've witnessed similar things happen before. The teacher was justifiably embarrassed and infuriated. He eventually found the harassment unbearable and was prepared to quit. Unfortunately, he then made the choice to make up a story and wrote those unlikely communications. I'm not saying those letters are as preposterous as the Jonbenet's "ransom letter," but they're pretty ridiculous.
