Meh, I hope this teacher will sue off the ass of this school board. 
Yes, like so many aspiring modern artists he tries to compensate his lack of talent with inane provocation and obscurantism. So what? The alternative to not having a guy like this teach art is to employ someone with absolutely no ties to modern art whatsoever. Which is far worse.
If you suck as an artist you become a critic, if you really suck you become a teacher. The same holds true for music teachers, or physical education teachers.

Here are some of his works:
