Student Booted for Talking to Soldier Mom

I try to not post stories that are making the rounds on prominent sites, but this story about a kid who was suspended from school for ten days for becoming "defiant and disorderly" when school officials made him lose a cell phone call from his soldier-mom stationed in Iraq pushed my anti-authority buttons big time.  I like that the kid admitted that he acted inappopriately, but explained how important it was to talk to his mom.  The school seemed to think they were doing him a big favor by merely suspending him and not arresting him.  What a bummer.

Which reminds me:  I'll be posting something about Juniorina's 5th grade DARE graduation soon in which she was bullied into tucking in her t-shirt by her DARE officer (seethe seethe seethe).

Hey, Columbus, GA, proud home of Fort Benning. Hey, Fort Benning proud home of the U. S. Army Infantry. The U. S. Army Infantry, the proud, don't-ask-don't-tell “Queen of Battle.”

So they kicked a kid out of school in Columbus, GA, for talking to his soldier mom in Iraq. Strange behavior in a red (neck) state, no?
Not really. The kid was disobeying the law of a vengeful GAWD in the corporate person of the School Authorities. As assistant uber-prinkipal Alfred “Goose Step” Parham declared, “Kevin got defiant and disorderly.” Herr Parham continued, further revealing ignorance of his native language, “When a kid becomes out of control like that they can....” Aside: does this sound presidential?

What do you expect in red clay, double-wide, Bible thumping, axe-handle racist, homophobic, white trash, double-digit average IQ Georgia? Amen.

What can you expect in educated, progressive, not in our town, blue state District 87 and Unit 5? Experience shows you can expect the same thing in Bloomington-Normal as in the proud home of the Queen of Battle.

A few years back, a bright, Unit 5 student, with a known and demonstrated learning disability, was being
“hassled” by a teacher. When the teacher wouldn’t let up, the teen called him a “fascist.” The police were called, and they took the kid away. Defiant and disorderly. OMG, that kid is undermining the sanctity of.... Of what? Well... the sanctity of the assembly line production of consuming, unquestioning droids for McDonald’s and the Queen of Battle. Capital crime.

Last spring at Frau Prinkipal's BHS, a freshman was taken out in handcuffs for throwing a tray of food. Terrorist! He started a twenty second food fight. Bad, evil criminal. We’re gonna make the little bastard pay for this act of disrespect, defiance and terrorism! The child was charged with inciting a riot, or some dung-infused nonsense.
Thank God, they didn’t have tasers back then. That little terrorist would still be twitching on the lunch room floor as a lesson to the rest of’em.
Respect our authority. Aside: does this sound like South Park?

DARE is a sad, expensive joke perpetrated on gullible, terror-stricken and especially stupid parents. Dare say NO. Dare say nonsense. Dare say compost. Dare say get your head out of your sphincter.
For thousands of years, our civilization has lived with the fear. GAWD will get you if you do bad things. Bad things like murder, stealing, adultery, lust, covetousness, bearing false witness, etc.
Murder is against God’s law. If you murder, GAWD will punish you for eternity. Pretty clear mandate. The word of God. Yet, there is still plenty of murder being done. Lots of it even done in the name of God and twistedly in God's honor.

However, by daring to say NO, we can prevent violence- incl murder- drugs, and all those evil behaviors that we fear for our children. Just saying NO is going to do it where the fear of GAWD has not prevented murder for millennia. Hell, murder is even on the increase. Fortunately, kids parroting NO will now do the trick. Brilliant. An absolutely brilliant solution. Wow, that Moses sure was one stupid, clueless, old fart.

DARE keep cops off donuts and tuck in your shirt, mien fraulien. Sounds like Juniorina is being prepped for next year when it begins in earnest mit prinkipal frau doktor at Fort BJHS.

Trivia question. How are the four above mentioned schools different from a correctional facility?
Answer: at a correctional facility inmates get their own TVs.
