school incidents

Never heard of this school. Some of the restrictions are outrageous. http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/08/us/bju-student-suspension-irpt/index.html?hpt=hp_c2

Looks like you don't even need to provide evidence to get a teacher suspended and a book banned in South Carolina. Guess they'll have to take it off the Navy required reading list for junior sailors too! What the heck? Or is that expletive too pornographic?

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/02/27/shooting-reported-at-ohio-high-school/?hpt=hp_t1 I wonder what the rest of the world think of the US when they see events such as this on the news.

Here's the deal as you may know from the JREF blog. Jessica Alhquist was a high school student who sued to get a prayer banner removed. And then her classmates turned on her. Deciding that the whole "kindness" thing in Christianity is apparently optional they have been harassing and threatening...

I taught a FAMU for 3 years. I burned some bridges there when I was one of several who contacted the police about other hazing incidents (including a fraternity one in which nothing was done until the kid's father found out he needed 24 stitches & went to the cops & papers.) Now this kid is...

A high school girl sends a disparaging Tweet about Sam Brownback during his appearance and is forced to apologize to him and the school. I wonder if the staffer responsible for monitoring social media is on the state payroll.

The glories of the State shall not be infringed upon. SF Gate reports: You see, the school is a State institution, and as such, those who participate in its programs are State actors. Anyone who does not bow to the whims of the administration may be subject to retribution. In this case, the...

http://www.wnep.com/wnep-sny-parents-buranich-english-teacher-writes-racy-novels-20110426,0,4057307.story I'm sorry, is this where I am supposed to recoil in shock and horror? So far, it looks like the teacher hasn't been fired. I just hope the sexually suffocated parents don't get their way...

Didn't think it was possible? You're wrong. Westboro Baptist will picket Ft. George G. Meade Middle School on April 14th, 2011. A MIDDLE SCHOOL. Words cannot express how disgusted this makes me. Apparently Phelps and his brood got tired of being ridiculed and ignored, so they've decided to...

Link: everyjoe dot com/play/video-casey-heynes-bodyslams-bully/ http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6e9_1300102958 Personally, I think the (bullied) kid was in his right to do what he did and suspending him is completely ridiculous. What's your opinion? (You have to fix the link manually, as I...

The Halton Catholic District School Board oversees an area near Toronto. It is largely urban. In the Province of Ontario, a taxpayer can designate their school taxes to support either the public school system, or the separate (Catholic) school system. The board first stirred controversy by...

Apologies if this is not SI & CEs. Please move to appropriate place if wrong. http://vimeo.com/16896020 Astronomy professor indoctrinates students to the dangers of AGW. (eta) I'm not sure how AGW politics and science relate to astronomy. Perhaps someone could enlighten me (us). "Blood will...

http://guardian.co.tt/news/general/2010/11/11/panic-after-devil-attack-school I've always found stories like this about mass/group hysteria to be interesting. Of course I guess there is always the possibility of a deliberate prank or hoax, also.

http://www.wreg.com/news/wreg-student-bullied,0,2907693.story A middle school student in Mississippi was beaten by fellow students, ostensibly, because her name is Randi. I have to think there were probably other issues which led to this, but this is how the story is being reported. The fact...

Linky. I've long called for mandatory school uniforms. He was shocked, shocked he tells ya! Won't someone please think of the persecuted straights who are bullied by school districts every day? (Yes, personally I find this very creepy. But they obviously aren't being straight (har har)...

My highschool had about 2000 pupils going into a poorly heated and unairconditions overcrowded building. There were a number of toughs attending this school and fear was rampant. The teachers and staff were either oblivious or possibly frightened themselves. One day three gang leaders decided...

It's not a video, it's a news article. Threatening to kill anyone is illegal. As far as I am concerned, that's the only crime he's commited but even that, I would have to hear the content to agree or disagree. False imprisonment, really? Are they trying to pad charges? Getting on a bus and...

The Church of Body Modification http://uscobm.com is a federally recogozied church. From the above link, at the FAQ section: Now the fun stuff... A member of the Church was told to remove her nose stud by school officials. (And its in the town where I live!)...

http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/09/07/2010-09- What always strikes me as strange is that the teachers and principals never have a clue that things like this go on in their schools. I suspect that in many cases the powers that be in schools do know but feel powerless to deal with it.

Look out FSM! Jewelry is after your job. The CoBM, with members nationwide, has a website here. In case anyone is interested in joining up. I wish the girl all the luck in the world. She's not living in a bastion of enlightenment ... or tolerance.

From the Des Moines Register: Nurre denies being an atheist, and she denies that she advocated atheism. (There is apparently no hint that she ever advocated any doctrine offensive to the all-wise Catholic Church while actually on the job.) She also questions whether the remarks attributed to...

3 Los Angeles teachers removed over choice of black heroes

http://www.wave3.com/Global/story.asp?S=12047295 So in a nutshell... another student offers the girl a prescription drug. She holds a pill in her hand, then gives it back and says no. That equals "drug possession."

article A genuine WTF?!? moment. I haven't read the attached PDF with all the legalese in it, but assuming the kid wasn't using the school laptop to surf porn or something (in which case, why need a picture?) I have to wonder what the hell the school was thinking. It would have saved time to...
