"Nam Le, 31, is a new teacher at Oakland School for the arts this year. Allegedly, he has been teaching for six years in “Los Angeles” before joining the staff at OSA, but who is he really?" -- Triece Kushner, 10th grade
The following article is a special May investigation by the OSA Shallot staff, aiming to bring you the very best of the campus' fake news.
Here’s what we do know: Mr. Le shows up to school usually in a look students have been calling the Nam-fit: a puffer jacket and some Dunks, many of which would be worth thousands of dollars if purchased brand new today. So where does a public school teacher get all this money from? A puffer jacket cult, maybe?
Mr. Le claims he wears his puffer nearly everywhere is because he is “cold,” but recently, temperatures have reached over 70 degrees, and he is still bringing it to school daily! The weather can not be an excuse anymore.
Since his arrival at OSA, kids have followed in his footsteps, and numerous students have been seen showing up in puffers, again, even in the hot weather. Is it a coincidence this obsession with the puffers started after his arrival?
“Mr. Le told me if I gave him my Chicken and Waffle Dunks he would give me a puffer that will solve all my problems,” says Kaleo Green, a jacket-wearing, 10th-grade student at OSA. “I agreed, and now every school day goes by with ease.”
If this quote is indeed true, that means quite a few kids have had to sacrifice their Dunks. When does this cult go too far? How many Nam-fits have to be worn before everyone considers it too much?
“This rumor is outrageous! I will say it once and say it again. My Dunk Collection are my babies. I bought each and every one with my hard earned money. And for the puffers- if students want to look up to me as a fashion inspiration, they can. I don’t blame them.” Mr. Le stated when questioned about the rumors.
