Character[]
Mr. Rosso seemingly goes out of his way to help the kids at McKinley. He helps a wayward Sam, who tries to be cool, by telling Sam a very personal story about being bullied by a group of men who called him a "hippie", and how that didn't change how he felt about himself or hurt his dignity. He tells Sam that "if you think you're cool and you feel it, it happens", which Bill later proclaim Mr. Rosso "some kind of genius"[1].
Pre-Teaching[]
Jeff was part of the hippie movement of the 1960s, and he was part of an organization "For a Better Tomorrow" that the Secret Service deemed dangerous.
Jeff also took part in the Vietnam War riots. He received 16 scars on his head from a tear gas canister. He also revealed to Lindsay that he has herpes[2].
