In their most recent foray into the ridiculous, county leaders within the school system are investigating allegations that a teacher actually attempted to have a student “hit,” murdered in exchange for money, by another student.

Randolph Forde, a math teacher at Mundy's Mill High School, was put on administrative leave, a result of the investigation and of several other inappropriate action taken against one particular student.

“ The teacher threatened to hit him in his f*cking mouth,” said Terrence Madden, lawyer for the student involved in the incident while speaking on one of Forde's threats.

County records show that Forde, who also questioned the 16-year-old teen's sexuality by asking if he was gay, was arrested last month on charges that say he made terrorist threats. His bond was posted at the price of $10,000.

Parents of the teen are asking that the special education teacher be terminated; his future as an educator lays in the hands of Clayton County's School Board.

The Stone Mountain Middle School teacher is now being held in the Clayton County jail and being charged with child molestation and persuading a minor for indecent purposes. He will appear in court today for arraignment.

A Jonesboro police officer stated that while on patrol he spotted two people in a truck behind the El Tarasco restaurant at 2:30 a.m. As he approached the vehicle, he stated that McClendon threw a condom out and rushed to pull his pants back on. The girl in the vehicle was also seen trying to throw her clothes back on, according to Jonesboro Police Major Tim Jessup. He tried to pull off when he realized that the people approaching the truck were the police, but they soon stopped him before he could evacuate the scene in progress.

According to the arrest warrant that was filed in Clayton County Magistrate Court, McClendon was in the act of fondling the girl. It added that authorities were able to step into the scene as he was putting on the condom and had five more minutes passed, he would have been caught in the act.

While being questioned, McClendon initially told the authorities that he had just returned to town and was having sex with his girlfriend. As he continued to be questioned, however, he clarified his relationship with the girl and stated that he knew the girl from where he teaches. As the female was questioned, she at first presented officers with a fake name and age, but they were later able to discover that the girl was only 15.

McClendon knew the young woman through tutoring her in math the previous year which was confirmed by the girl, according to Jessup.

A spokesman for DeKalb County Schools, Dale Davis, stated that McClendon is a first-year teacher in that school system and could not provide further commentary on the subject at hand.
