Indeed. I was on a jury a few years ago, and the defense and prosecution had made a deal to exclude particulars of the defendant's past. Basically he'd done it before, but in exchange for the prosecution not bringing that up the defense wouldn't bring up the defendant's mental illness history. So we the jury were unaware of all that, but the newspapers reported it. If we'd happened to let him off we'd have seemed insane to the public. (As it happened we potted him because in addition to overwhelming evidence he confessed on the stand.)

Other than "we found some previous pictures of Monkey Do" there hasn't been any news on this incident.
It seems that the teacher(s) is still teaching as his suspension or termination would be in the news. Articles from a week ago say that he is still teaching. There also has been no news about any protesters marching outside the school, or that there ever were any. One of the early articles had this...

Today's Google Doodle is of the 60th Anniversary of the Greensboro Sit-in. It immediately reminded me of the Monkey Do photo.
