Common sense is not a quality school administrators seem to have anymore. I mean How freaking stupid is that!?!?!?!?!?
Hmmmm, are we being conditioned for the future of our world? Flash forward to the future and, well, I guess we just won't talk to anyone anymore or touch anyone anymore. And by then we will have forgotten how to think for ourselves and use common sense. My, what perfect little cogs in the machine we will be! BIG BROTHER will be so proud of us all!!
I heard today on the radio that a children's author was told to remove the fire breathing dragon out of her book, because concerns that it might encourage children to play with fire.
What's next, Disney movies get banned because watching Aladin will encourage children to jump off the roof with an area rug, or Snow White encourages all little girls to run away & find a house full of men to live with? Do people really think that kids are that stupid? And the teacher getting suspended for "eeny meeny miney moe". That's ridiuclous, unless the teacher actually said a racial slur in it.
Wow, this is getting crazier and crazier. There is no way I could be a teacher. I would be suspended in a second. lol. I personally think people are getting way too sensitive. Can you imagine if All in the Family were on today?! I bet it isn't even in reruns anymore. lol. Now, I would never support anything that was harmful or hurtful. I am opposed to racial slurs being used and all that. However, I think things have just gone way too far. Funny how teachers get suspended for saying some silly rhyme but some are still teaching after dating a student. Or students can cuss in the hallway without a problem. (maybe I am wrong...maybe a student would get in trouble for that....I know when I was in high school kids cussed in the hallway and teachers never said a thing.)
Teacher suspended for saying childhood rhyme Actually the teacher that said "eeny meeny miney moe catch a nigg** by the toe". That is why she was suspended and she was only suspended for 5 days and at first during investigation she was on paid administrative leave. The mother of this child is moving the children to another school district.
It would be really silly if the teacher was suspended for just saying a childhood rhyme, she actually added NIGG** in the rhyme in a class with only 1 african american child.
And I can see their point.. you wouldn't want these girls to get the wrong idea about Santa, especially since they just got all of those condoms handed to them in school!
If there were no african american chidlren in the class it would still be wrong and worthy of suspension. That term should not be tolerated regardless of your race.
if anyone goes googling this story, you may want to watch what you click for it -- this has been picked up by stormfront and other sites of that sort (of course) and many of those come up right off.
This reminds me of that car commercial not too long ago where the car was driving sideways along a building and they actually had to put in writing at the bottom of the screen something like "This car is not actually able to do this". It seems like the people I meet in person always see the stupidity in these types of things, but apparently the powers-that-be are finding it necessary to take these ridiculous measures so I can't help but ask myself--and worry, truly worry (no tongue-in-cheek comment here)--is our society as a whole really becoming this dumbed down? Heaven help us if that's true. Or is it just that our society is so litigious now that people will find anyway to sue and make money that all bases need to be covered. Wouldn't it just irk you to see some guy walk away with millions just because he went to court saying "But they let me believe I could drive on buildings . . .duh. . . "
Kyzg, dd just finished reading the book, 1984. 'Sounds like! On one hand, this type of thing can be depressing, but, dear ones, always remember that God and His inscrutable plan for the end of the age is greater! And the last page of the Book says He wins!
