Florida high school student forced to put band aids on her nipples. Say, what?

Courtesy of Law and Crime:  

A student in Bradenton, Florida says she was forced to put band-aids on her nipples because she wasn’t wearing a bra, according to a WPTV report. The school district admits the situation shouldn’t have been handled that way. 

17-year-old Lizzy Martin told the outlet she went to class in a grey Calvin Klein shirt Monday morning at Braden River High School. A dean said she was violating dress code and distracting male classmates. Martin was made to put on a second t-shirt under the other one. It wasn’t enough. The dean told her to stand up and move around for her, Martin said, but the official wasn’t pleased. 

“So we went to the clinic and she gave me band-aids in there, and told me to X out my nipples,” Martin said. She followed the command, saying she felt she had no options. 

Her mother told the outlet the school dean made a big deal about nothing: “This was a shirt that was unisex, that was too big, that was not form fitting.” She said there is a double standard, and that a male with “excessive breast tissue” wouldn’t be asked to “confine the movement” of his chest. 

Lizzy Martin asked rhetorically that if the problem was that the male classmates were distracted, then why weren’t the boys “educated about the situation” as opposed to her being taken out of class?

Look I understand that we live in country founded by Puritans, but damn it is 2018!

If young men, or even older men, are distracted by a nipple covered by clothing that is their fucking problem, not the owner of the nipple.

Not to be too crude here, but I had a perpetual erection from middle school, all through high school, and partway through my twenties.

I saw a nice rear end, schwing!

I saw some cleavage, schwing!

I saw nipples poking through a shirt, schwing!

I saw a female flip her hair behind her ear....well you get the drift.

But that was MY problem, and I handled it without staring and making the young women uncomfortable, saying crude things to them, or blaming them for distracting me from my school work.

This young women did nothing wrong, and to humiliate her in this way is simply ridiculous.

So Donald Trump starts today by fantasizing about brutalizing a former Vice President.

Okay so first a little back story courtesy of WaPo: 

“A guy who ended up becoming our national leader said, ‘I can grab a woman anywhere, and she likes it,’ ” Biden said during a speech at the University of Miami, according to ABC News. “They asked me if I’d like to debate this gentleman, and I said ‘no.’ I said, ‘If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.’ ” 

“I’ve been in a lot of locker rooms my whole life,” Biden continued. “I’m a pretty [darn] good athlete. Any guy that talked that way was usually the fattest, ugliest S.O.B. in the room.”

Biden's remarks were made during  the University of Miami’s “It’s On Us” rally, a gathering which discussed sexual assault and gender based violence.

So as you can imagine they were well received.

Now to be totally honest I get where Uncle Joe is coming from, in my high school days Donald Trump would have been EXACTLY the kind of pompous bullying windbag that I would have targeted.

But that was high school, and keep in mind that Biden is referring to an incident that would have only happened in high school if the two had crossed paths way back when.

Trump on the other hand is all about the here and now:

Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy. Actually, he is weak, both mentally and physically, and yet he threatens me, for the second time, with physical assault. He doesn’t know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way. Don’t threaten people Joe!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 22, 2018

Once again Biden is not threatening anybody. He is talking about a possibility that never presented itself, and venting some frustration about the way that Trump treats women.

However, and I just have to add this, if there were to be a physical confrontation between today's Donald Trump and today's Joe Biden, I do not think many bets would be placed on a Trump victory.

The man has french fry grease running through his veins, can barely walk a 100 feet unassisted, and if he were to make a fist his heart would likely explode.

I think the only way that Trump could win a fight like this is by using the same technique he used to impregnate Melania, lying on top of her until she was too exhausted to push him off, until she finally gave up told him "Fine you win."

Okay so that was one bizarre tweet from Tangerine Hitler this morning, this was the other one.

Remember when they were saying, during the campaign, that Donald Trump is giving great speeches and drawing big crowds, but he is spending much less money and not using social media as well as Crooked Hillary’s large and highly sophisticated staff. Well, not saying that anymore!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 22, 2018

Yeah, I don't know what this means.

I tried to decipher it earlier but as it turns out I don't speak "unhinged."

I think this is an appropriate comic for the times.

Someday we may look back and thank a bunch of high school kids for dramatically lowering the number of gun deaths in this country.

And that both makes me sad for our generation, and hopeful for what the country will look like when we are no longer in power.

At least one shot fired today as high school teacher held off police for over 30 minutes after barricading himself in a classroom.

A teacher barricaded himself inside a locked classroom at a Georgia high school on Wednesday and apparently fired a single shot from a handgun, authorities said. 

No students were in the classroom at the time, and the only injury reported was a student who hurt their ankle running when Dalton High School was evacuated. 

The teacher was identified by the Dalton Police Department as 53-year-old Jesse Randall Davidson, a social studies teacher and play-by-play voice of the Dalton football team. 

Police spokesman Bruce Frazier said the teacher was taken into custody after a 30- to 45-minute standoff with officers.

Here is more from the Atlantic Journal-Constitution:  

The incident at Dalton High School, about 91 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta, sent panicked students running through hallways and alarmed parents already on edge in the wake of a mass shooting earlier this month at a Florida high school.

About 11:30 a.m., some students tried to get into Randal Davidson’s classroom and he would not let them in, Dalton police spokesman Bruce Frazier said. 

They alerted the principal. When the principal came to the door and used his key to try to open it, Davidson forcibly closed it on him, Frazier said. 

At that point, the principal heard a gunshot. Police have not said what type of gun was used, only that it was a handgun. 

"We had officers inside the building quickly,” Frazier said. Officers evacuated a hallway and secured the area first. 

During the evacuation, a female student was hurt, police said. That student is being treated by emergency officials for an ankle injury.

As the incident was unfolding at least one Dalton High student made the obvious observation.

@nra my favorite teacher at Dalton high school just blockaded his door and proceeded to shoot. We had to run out The back of the school in the rain. Students were being trampled and screaming. I dare you to tell me arming teachers will make us safe.

You do not know if a person is a "bad guy with a gun" until they do something bad with that gun.

Until then they are just a person with a gun.

And people, even good people, have very bad days.

Having access to a firearm can make that very bad day, a deadly day for them, and for those around them. 

In short sending armed, overworked teachers into American classrooms is fucking stupid!

This is what it is like to experience a school shooting first hand.

Scariest part of it all was knowing my little brother was right above me and not knowing if I would ever see him again. I’ve never really treated him the way he deserved. Not anymore. Seeing his face outside of school was the most relief I had ever felt. My prayers to all. pic.twitter.com/Iq8CHVNXd0

I cannot even begin to tell you how hard these words hit me.

Though if you are a human being perhaps I do not have to.

We need men and women in Congress and the Senate who feel that same emotional impact after reading something like this.

Not politicians jumping through the NRA hoops, but REAL empathetic human beings who cannot sleep until they fix this terrible wrong in our country.

2018 is our year to make this country, and our world, a safer, better, and more inspiring place to live.

More school shootings.

Courtesy of CNN: 

Another high school has turned into a scene of carnage, this time in western Kentucky. 

Fourteen people were wounded, two of them fatally, after a shooter opened fire Tuesday morning at Marshall County High School, Gov. Matt Bevin said at a news conference. Another five people sustained other injuries. 

A 15-year-old male student was arrested at the scene and will be charged with murder and attempted murder, Bevin said.

The slain victims were a boy and a girl, both 15 years old. The girl died at the scene and the boy died at a hospital, State Police Commissioner Richard W. 

Sanders said. The conditions of the injured students were not immediately known. Sanders said the suspect, armed with a handgun, walked into the school at 8:57 a.m. ET and started shooting.

There was another shooting just the day before in Texas, also with a handgun, that fortunately did not result in any fatalities.

Courtesy of KRMG:

An Italy Independent School District employee confronted a 16-year-old after he opened fire on a teenage girl in the cafeteria at Italy High School on Monday morning, stopping the attack and prompting the gunman to run from the scene, authorities said at a news conference Monday afternoon. 

Ellis County Sheriff Chuck Edge said the unidentified employee, "did an amazing job in stopping that situation." 

Deputies responded to reports of the shooting just before 8 a.m., as students were gathered in the cafeteria for breakfast service, officials said. Italy Independent School District Superintendent Lee Joffre said there are typically 45-55 students in the cafeteria for breakfast, although he was unsure of the exact number of students inside when shots rang out Monday. 

Edge said a 16-year-old male student, whose name was not immediately released, fired several shots from a semi-automatic .380 handgun. 

"That handgun was recovered from the scene and is in evidence," Edge said. 

Later the 16 year old was taken into custody and it was determined that the young man and his victim had been in a relationship. 

Just a reminder that killers do not necessarily need AR-15s to maim or kill multiple victims. 

When these events took place under President Obama's watch you could see the emotional toll it took on him, and how he struggled to find a way to keep our schoolchildren safe.

Somehow I just do not see Adolph Twitler bothering to even bat an eye over this. 

Another day, another school shooting. This time in New Mexico.

Courtesy of Time Magazine:  

Students hid in their classrooms, some behind locked doors or in closets, as a gunman opened fire Thursday inside a New Mexico high school, killing two classmates before he ended up dead. 

Authorities and other officials in the small town of Aztec near the Colorado border have released few details other than to say the shooter and two victims attended Aztec High School. 

No other injuries were reported, and it was not clear if the shooter died by suicide or was killed by police. 

Bryn Divine, a senior, said she was sitting at her desk in her history class when she heard gunshots erupt down the hall. At first, it sounded as if someone was swinging a metal baseball bat against the lockers. 

Then she heard an announcer over the school intercom tell students: “This is not a drill.” 

“I stayed in my desk, and I just prayed, ‘Please just let this be over as soon as possible.’ That was my first reaction,” she said.

I hate to break to this young woman, but this will never be over.

Never.

And just to drive that point home just the other day Congress passed a bill that would allow folks to carry concealed weapons across state lines. 

After all this is America, where we are constantly told that access to more guns means less gun violence.

And so long as many of our fellow Americans believe that there will be a never ending stream of blood flowing from the victims of that mindset.

Retired Alabama police officer says that she was told to keep Roy Moore away from the high school cheerleaders.

Just lookit those gals shake those pom poms.

Courtesy of HuffPo: 

A retired Alabama police officer said she and her colleagues were told decades ago to “make sure” Roy Moore “didn’t hang around” high school cheerleaders, and confirmed previous reports that the Republican Senate candidate was banned at the time from a local mall for predatory behavior toward teenage girls. 

“The rumor mill was that he liked young girls, and ... we were advised that he was being suspended from the mall because he would hang around the young girls that worked in the stores and ... really got into a place of where they say he was harassing,” former Gadsden police officer Faye Gary told MSNBC on Tuesday. 

“We were also told to watch him at the ball games, and make sure that ... he didn’t hang around the cheerleaders,” she said.

I swear every day this Roy Moore story just gets creepier and creepier. 

But hey, according to Donald Trump allowing this pervert into the Senate is still better than letting some Democrat in who demonstrated how soft he was on crime by prosecuting members of the KKK.

Georgia teacher threatens disruptive student's life.

Courtesy of the Atlantic Journal-Constitution:

A Rockdale County teacher is on administrative leave after he was caught on camera during class threatening to “put a bullet” in a student’s head. 

The incident happened two weeks ago at Rockdale Career Academy, but the student’s mother, April Carr, told Channel 2 Action News she was not notified by the principal until last week. 

“I think it’s a terroristic threat on my son’s life,” she told Channel 2, “that I definitely don’t take lightly.” 

Carr said her son and other students were laughing while physics teacher Paul Hagan was at the board. That’s when Hagan made the threats. 

Carr posted video of the threat online and Hagan can be heard clearly saying: “You screw with me you’re going to be in big ass trouble. Don’t smile at me, man. That’s how people like you get shot. I got a bet. I bet by the time you’re 21 somebody’s going to put a bullet in your head. OK. And it might be me the one who does it.”

You know when my daughter's mother moved her to Georgia I was upset that she home schooled her instead of sending her to public school.

But after seeing this video I am wondering if that might not be the best choice considering some of the teachers they employ in Georgia. 

The mother wants this man fired, and I think that is certainly the appropriate response to something like this. 

Georgia teacher makes students wearing MAGA shirts leave class, compares them to Swastika.

Courtesy of Atlanta Journal Constitution:  

A Cherokee County high school teacher is facing criticism on social media after she told students they couldn’t wear shirts with the “Make America Great Again” slogan, the school district said Sunday in an emailed statement. 

The River Ridge High School math teacher on Thursday erroneously told two students their shirts with campaign slogans were not permitted in class, Cherokee County Schools spokeswoman Barbara Jacoby said. 

“Her actions were wrong, as the ‘Make America Great Again’ shirts worn by the students are not a violation of our School District dress code,” Jacoby said.

The teacher, whose name has not been released by the school district, also shared her personal opinion about the campaign slogan during class, which Jacoby said was inappropriate. 

“Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian V. Hightower is deeply sorry that this incident happened in one of our schools,” Jacoby said. “It does not reflect his expectation that all students be treated equally and respectfully by our employees.” 

Here is video of the incident in question.

As you might imagine this has caused a firestorm among those on the Right Wing who feel that this teacher demonstrated a prejudicial attitude toward the political beliefs of these students.

And as much as it pains me to say it, they have a point.

This is America and that means we have free speech.

Having said that I also completely understand where this teacher was coming from.

If I had to spend 50 minutes in a class with two of those obnoxious shirts staring me in the face I would probably start frothing at the mouth.

I would also probably retaliate by wearing a "Hillary Clinton: The People's President" t-shirt and start drinking from a coffee mug that portrayed Donald Trump as Adolph Hitler.

But I'm childish like that.

Michelle Obama visits a DC high school classroom bringing with her so much awesomeness that the students are overcome with emotion.

When former first lady Michelle Obama walked into a D.C. high school classroom, the stunned students erupted in tears. One student even darted out of the classroom to regain her composure before she could sit next to her. 

Obama, who still lives in Washington, made a surprise visit Tuesday to Ballou STAY High School to speak with 14 students for two hours. Upon arriving, she hugged each of them before taking her seat in the circle. 

“Once she came in, it was an inspirational feeling,” said Alliyah Williams, 18. “She was so sweet and warm. She was like a mom.”

After visiting the public alternative high school in Southeast Washington, she tweeted “Always love visiting DC schools. Thank you for hosting me today @BallouSTAY. Stories of students #reachinghigher continue to inspire me.” The tweet referenced the White House initiative “Reach Higher” she launched to encourage students to continue their education.

“Mrs. Obama had an emotional and heartfelt discussion with the students,” Caroline Adler Morales, a spokeswoman for the former first lady, wrote in an email. “There were tears, laughs and lots of hugs.”

I'm sorry but do you know how much cool you have to have to make high school kids, who are saturated with indifference, lose their shit like this?

I think only a handful of folks could have this effect, Beyonce, Michelle Obama, and maybe Jesus, but I am not even sure about that last one.

Could you even imagine Melania Trump inspiring this kind of response? From anybody?

I used to think that the one person that I would like to have a dinner with would be President Obama who I admire greatly.

But fuck that noise, I would much rather have a meal with Michelle Obama and just talk about parenting, education, and the future of the country.

It would be epic.

(P.S. Of course if Michelle is too busy I would certainly not say no to the big "O." Just throwing that out there.)

High school teacher gets put on paid leave for comparing Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler.

Courtesy of the Monterey Herald: 

A history teacher at Mountain View High School has been placed on paid leave after drawing parallels between Republican President-elect Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler in his lesson plan. 

Frank Navarro, who’s taught at the school for 40 years, was asked to leave midday Thursday after a parent sent an email to the school expressing concerns about statements Navarro made in class. Mountain View/Los Altos High School District Superintendent Jeff Harding confirmed the incident Friday but declined to describe the parent’s complaints. 

Navarro, an expert on the Holocaust, said school officials declined to read him the email and also declined his request to review the lesson plan with him. 

“This feels like we’re trying to squash free speech,” he said. “Everything I talk about is factually based. They can go and check it out. “It’s not propaganda or bias if it’s based on hard facts.”

According to the superintendent Mr. Navarro will be back in the classroom as early as tomorrow and I certainly he picks up his lesson right where he left off.

Personally I don't know what the issue was?

After all if you elect a fascist you should be prepared for educators and the media to point out that they are indeed a fascist.

The group "Parents of York County School of Technology Students" said on Facebook that members had received reports that "Trump's presidential win was announced at school today amidst chants of 'white power.' That white students referred to other races as their slaves, and at some points even spit on those students." 

And of course you know that if this is happening in other states that Texas will not allow themselves to be left out.

This is what happens when you put a xenophobic racist in the White House.

Hope has been replaced with fear.

Tolerance has been replaced with distrust.

And love has been replaced with hate.

Colin Kaepernick's national anthem protest trickles down to Seattle high school.

Courtesy of Q13 Fox: 

The entire Garfield High School football team, including the coaches, took a knee during the national anthem Friday night before their game against West Seattle High on Friday night to protest “social injustices.”

After the game, which Garfield won, Garfield High School head football coach Joey Thomas said that "the players decided to do this" to bring attention to "social injustices," emphasizing that it was "a player-driven" move and that his players plan to continue the practice during the anthem before every game "until they tell us to stop."

Well if they are waiting for the school board to tell them to stop it does not appear that will happen anytime soon.

Seattle Public Schools issued the following statement:

“Students kneeling during the national anthem are expressing their rights protected by the First Amendment. Seattle Public Schools supports all students' right to free speech.”

Now THAT my friends is what freedom is all about.

And good on these high school athletes for participating in our democracy. As well as the Seattle Public Schools for supporting their right to do so.

The public spoke out overwhelmingly against a bill that would restrict abortion providers like Planned Parenthood from teaching or providing resources in Juneau schools. 

By the Empire’s count, 48 members of the public opposed Senate Bill 191 while seven supported it during more than two hours of public testimony Thursday afternoon at the Capitol. 

Thursday was the first opportunity for public testimony on SB 191, sponsored by Sen. Mike Dunleavy, R-Wasilla — and the public showed up in force. Almost every chair in the Senate Education Committee room was filled, many with Juneau teenagers. 

“I just want to say this bill is crazy. It really is absolutely crazy,” Douglas resident and parent Lisa EaganLagerquist said. “How many of you have heard a Planned Parenthood presentation?” 

When none of the senators on the five-member Senate Education Committee indicated they had, EaganLagerquist continued, “Can you really say something shouldn’t be in schools when you haven’t even heard it?”

I should first point out that this IS Juneau, which is one of the most liberal bastions in the entire state.

The conversation would have of course been much different if this testimony were taken in Wasilla for instance. And the same could be said for if the hearing had taken place in Anchorage, because you can bet they would have bused in teens from Wasilla to participate.

However in many corners of the state you have always been able to find quite a few very vocal, well educated liberals and it's nice to see the Juneau teenagers, and their parents, upholding that proud tradition.

Just a reminder that not EVERYBODY up here is some ignorant inbred moron like the Palin family.

Off camera, the teenager identified as an 18-year old Cruz is asked about his life’s aspirations. 

“Aspirations? Is that like sweat on my butt?” a sardonic Cruz says at the start of the 30-second clip, wearing jeans and a tucked in shirt. "No no, oh I see, what you want me to do, what I want to do in life." 

Cruz squints his eyes tilts his head to the sky. "Well my aspiration is to, uh, oh I don’t know, be in a teen tit film like that guy who played Horatio. You know he was in Malibu Bikini Beach Shop,” he says. The reference appears to be to a 1986 movie, The Malibu Bikini Shop, which came out two years before the video was filmed. 

"Well, other than that,” Cruz continued, "take over the world, world domination, you know, rule everything. Rich, powerful, that sort of stuff.” 

Apparently that video was provided by a high school friend of Cruz's who wishes to remain anonymous.

Personally I don't see a lot of difference between the arrogant prick in this video and the one we see today.

Except I would imagine that today's Ted Cruz would not allow himself to be filmed suggesting that he wanted to be in a "tit film."

Though I bet he still does.

Well there's an accurate statement.

Teacher tries to teach a lesson on Islam in the Bible Belt. Whoops!

Courtesy of the Washington Post:

A Virginia county closed all of its schools Friday because of intense backlash over a class assignment about Islam, with some parents alleging that their children were being subjected to Muslim indoctrination and educators emphasizing the importance of exposing U.S. students to the world’s fastest-growing religion. 

A high school geography teacher in rural Augusta County asked students to try their hand at writing the shahada, an Islamic declaration of faith, in Arabic calligraphy. The task, community reaction to it, and a sudden influx of outrage from around the country — including angry emails, phone calls and threats to put the teacher’s head on a stake — led the school district to close rather than risk disruption or violence. 

Augusta County Sheriff Randy Fisher said the superintendent and the school board decided to close the 10,000-student school system after district officials and the Riverheads High School teacher who gave the assignment received emails that seemed to increase in volume and vitriol as the week wore on. Most emails and messages assailed the school and the teacher for “indoctrinating” students in Islam, and some referenced violence generally. 

Fisher said he saw messages that called for firing the teacher and putting “her head on a stake.” Photos of beheaded bodies also were sent to the Riverheads principal. In a news release, the superintendent also said people indicated that they were planning protests at school buildings and that “some communications posed a risk of harm to school officials.”

That's right the parents were so afraid that their children were being indoctrinated into a religion associated with terrorism in this country, that they terrorized the superintendent, school officials, and teacher. 

But remember, these are most likely Christians so it doesn't count.

North Dakota father tries to get principal fired after a picture of his son holding his metal penis extender is rejected for the yearbook.

Courtesy of Star Tribune:

The father of a gun-toting North Dakota student is calling for a school principal to be fired after the student’s senior photo was banned from publication in the yearbook. 

In the photo, Josh Renville, a senior at Fargo North High school, is pictured holding “his favorite” rifle and wearing a shirt emblazoned with the stars and stripes. 

His father, Charlie, who called for the firing in a Tuesday post on Facebook, wrote that the image was rejected because “in their words, it promotes violence and breaks federal and state law.” He goes on to question how it is any different than pictures of soldiers during war or images of students who participate in trap or skeet teams. 

The Renvilles submitted the photo for the school yearbook, but it was rejected by the high school.

You know pictures of the military are not typically submitted for a student's yearbook photo, and skeet shooters are actually participating in a school sponsored activity.

The photo of this kid looks like exactly the kind of thing that would cause the school to lockdown and for the SWAT team to be called out.

Nobody is attacking this kid's second amendment right to own a gun. They just don't want to traumatize the rest of the school by including his douchebag picture in the yearbook.

And by the way after seeing this picture I think the school should start patting this kid down before letting his Timothy McVeigh looking ass back in the building.

But that's just me.

Texas school teaches abstinence only sex education. Chlamydia arrives to teach them the error of their ways.

Courtesy of KRMG: 

The superintendent of schools in Crane, Texas is rethinking the districts sexual education curriculum, after learning that 20 of the high schools 300 students have tested positive for chlamydia. 

Jim Rummage told television station KFOR, "We do have an abstinence curriculum, and that evidently ain’t working. We need to do all we can, although it’s the parents’ responsibility to educate their kids on sexual education.” 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention isn't mincing any words, calling the outbreak a health issue of epidemic proportions.

I love this part about the abstinence program, "That evidently ain't working."

Gee ya think?

There is already exhaustive research which proves that abstinence education does not work and yet due to mostly religiously driven fears sexuality people are still buying into the idea that telling a hormonal teenager not to let their naughty bits touch will actually work.

It does not work, and it never has.

Hell, I'M proof of that.

It is just too bad that so many of these kids had to come down with STDs before the adults in their lives were able to recognize their ignorance.
