St Joseph, MO -- A Missouri high school teacher apologized for asking students to write about who they would kill and how they would do it.
Michael Maxwell said it was a horrible mistake he regrets, according to an Associated Press report.
Maxwell said the request to describe how students would carry out a murder was merely a writing exercise. Maxwell teaches a beginning drafting class and it was not clear why he asked the class to write fiction.
School officials in St. Joseph said the teacher will likely keep his job.
Administrators found out about the writing request when a parent filed a complaint with the principal.
A school district spokesman did not comment on possible disciplinary measures, but said the incident probably isn't serious enough to cost Maxwell his job.
