School Resource Officer Causes “Severe Brain Hemorrhage” By Tasing Student

Acosta says the deputy officer was never in harm, and that the defendants allowed him to work at Cedar Creek High School even after he Tasered another student a year ago. That history created a “foreseeable danger” that led to N.N.’s injuries, she says. 

According to RT:

A high school student suffered a brain injury and remains in a medically-induced coma after a Texas sheriff’s deputy tasered him without cause following a skirmish in a school hallway, the boy’s mother claims in court.

Maria Acosta has sued Bastrop County, its school district and Randy McMillan, a Bastrop County sheriff’s officer and school resource officer, according to Courthouse News.

Noe Nino de Rivera, Acosta’s son, suffered a “severe brain hemorrhage” when McMillan Tasered him after the boy, known as N.N., had intervened to halt a fight between two females at Cedar Creek High School on Wednesday, November 20, Acosta claims in a federal lawsuit.

"I'm called to the school and they say you have to get to the hospital," Acosta told KXAN last week. "(They said) your son is alive. I say, 'what do you mean he's alive?'" 

School resource officers... the most outright useless position a police officer can be assigned to.  So in order to make their days a bit more interesting, they are required to taser anyone that they deem even the slightest threat... 

Sixth Graders Pigeonholed into Political Dichotomy

According to StoryLeak:

Parents of a sixth grade student at the Milam Elementary School in Tupelo, Mississippi were shocked when their daughter brought home a political beliefs worksheet that teachers told students to fill out.

The in-class assignment entitled “Are you a Democrat or Republican?” was posted to the “Stop Common Core in Mississippi” Facebook page with a message alleging that the young female student was told not to talk about or take the assignment outside of class, although some parents refute the claim.

Regardless, the assignment, written for 11-year-old children, asks students what their beliefs are on such issues as abortion, gun control and gay marriage, before having them tally up their “D” and “R” answers to determine which establishment party they belong to.

***

Many parents not only found the assignment highly inappropriate, but question if the assignment was an attempt to gauge families’ political affiliations given the fact that many sixth graders would likely repeat what they heard at home, not having a true personal understanding of the listed topics. 

I can see the other side of this argument in helping students realize their political affiliation early in life.  Helping them figure out where their beliefs stand in comparison to others.  What bothers me is... where are the Libertarian choices, where are the Green choices?  

Also why do schools need to know this about students, seems kind of like a manner in which we can start pigeonholing a whole slew of political beliefs in to a dichotomy of this or that.  

"You are either one or the other and we need to know which one"

I do not want to send my daughter to public school, I will not. But to a certain degree I want to just to get physical copies of crap like this that I can then post online to share with the world as well.  

Cut Your Hair or Face Expulsion

According to RT:

One day after a 12-year-old African American girl made national news for saying she was threatened with expulsion over her hairstyle, the school is backing down.

On Monday, Vanessa VanDyke said that Faith Christian Academy, a private school in Orlando, Florida, had given her a choice: either cut/style her large, naturally curly hair within a week or leave the school altogether.

I've worn trench coats and capes to school.  My hair has been every color under the rainbow and styled to do all sorts of absurd things.  The times teachers told me to remove my cape or snidely made comments about my hair, I made even more absurd claims back to them and pulled out school guideline books right in front of them to show them there was no mention of capes, no mention of hair colors... 

Teachers and administrators think they can make rules as they go.  They think they can control your kid and force them to submit to their commands.  If you allow your kids to be subjugated they will be, if you teach them to stick up for themselves it will spread through the internet like wildfire and your rights will be upheld.  Teach your kids yourself, don't think that schools are actually teaching them anything.  They are indoctrinating them, not educating them.    

School Threatens Students with Racial Discrimination on their Permanent Record

According to InfoWars:

The headmistress at a primary school in a small town in England tried to order parents to send their children to a Nov. 27 workshop focused on Islam or else have the kids permanently labeled as racists for the rest of their academic careers.

On Wednesday, parents of children aged 8 to 11 received the stark warning in the form of a letter from Lynn Small, the headmistress at Littleton Green Community School in Huntington, Staffordshire — just over 20 miles from Birmingham.

The letter describes the field trip as part of a “statutory requirement” for kids “to learn about different cultures.”

“The workshop is at Staffordshire University and will give your child the opportunity to explore other religions,” Small pedantically explains. “Children will be looking at religious artifacts, similar to those that would be on display in a museum. They will not be partaking in any religious practices.”

The race to become the most politically correct location on earth is out of control...

School kids unearth loaded gun during “Archaeology Day”

According to ABlogAboutHistory:

A group of 5th-graders in Massachusetts unearthed a loaded gun during a school “Archaeology Day” trip.

At first Wendy Robinson thought it was a joke when one of the fifth-graders participating in this year’s archaeology day yelled “gun” while digging in the dirt near Main Street. She soon saw with her own eyes that three boys wielding garden trowels had unearthed a loaded Smith & Wesson model 10 .38-caliber revolver.

She instructed the children to back away and called the police, who determined the firearm was old and not likely a hazard.

I'm surprised they weren't all expelled just for having found a gun in the dirt.  Considering kids are getting expelled for biting their pop tart in to the shape of a gun, it would not have surprised me if the three boys were dealt with in a similar manner.  

School Teacher Feeds Students Semen-Laced Cookies

(Sure does look like a perv)

According to Gawker:

A Los Angeles school teacher has pleaded guilty to a series of heinous abuses against his students, including blindfolding them and feeding them cookies laced with his semen.

Elementary school teacher Mark Berndt pleaded guilty on Friday to abusing 30 students at Miramonte Elementary School for the last two decades. Berndt was caught after a photo technician reported dozens of blindfolded third graders in photographs he was developing for Berndt. When investigators searched Berndt's classroom, they found semen on a spoon in a trash bin. Berndt had been feeding his students cookies laced with his own semen.

***

The guilty plea calls for Berndt to spend 25 years in prison.

"He's going to jail essentially for the rest of his life," the attorney for the students and their parents told the Associated Press. "You can't ask for more than that."

The school district had received reports of Berndt abusing students since the 1990s, but did not act until the the police intervened.

This is an absolutely spot on reason why I do not trust schools.  They got multiple complaints and did nothing about it, for 20 years!  Think about how many students went through his classroom in 20 years.  Absolutely horrifying what school districts will allow teachers to get away with.  

Middle School Student Uppercut By Teacher Over Favorite Football Teams

"The last person's voice I heard was some girl saying that I should call my mom, and then he like hit me, and I blacked out," Reginald said in an exclusive interview with 12 News Sunday.

According to 12News:

Reginald, a 7th grader, says Friday afternoon he stopped in the hallway to chat with an assistant teacher from his math class. He says he cracked a joke about the teacher's favorite football team.

"All of a sudden he just hit me, in my shoulder... and I looked at him like 'what the heck?'"

Standing 4 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 80 pounds, Reginald says he then pushed the teacher's shoulder. That's when he claims the teacher blindsided him with a punch to the face that knocked him out. He says he woke up a few seconds later.

"The left side of my face was numb... my lip hurt... my head was hurt, like it had been shaken."

***

"(The principal) said Reginald was punched, in the shoulder, and then hit two times and uppercut, and then slid across the floor," Adrianne said. "It weighed heavy on my heart, because I've never put my hands on my son."

Adrianne says the teacher was escorted off the premises and fired on the spot, but before that, Reginald says the teacher said something to him.

"He said 'I can't apologize for what I did, I was just having a bad day and I just snapped.'"

That is out of this world.  I do not like sports, I have no favorite teams, but I know as a matter of fact from listening to co-workers argue over football that making fun of another person's team of choice is part of being a sports fan.  

Any adult who claims to have been having a bad day as an excuse to punch a child deserves to be locked up.  Sadly no charges have been pressed yet against this pathetic excuse for a human being. Try anger management, try meditation, try apologizing.  A bad day is no excuse for massively incorrect actions.  

Coachella Valley High School's ‘Arab’ Mascot

According to CBS: 

Attend a Coachella Valley High School football game, and you may be surprised to see belly dancers performing at halftime shows.
Spectators also will find a snarling, black-bearded mascot wearing a headscarf urging fans to root for the team.

The mascot in this Southern California desert town east of Palm Springs that has existed for nearly a century has now drawn the ire of an anti-discrimination group that deems the caricature offensive and stereotypical.

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee recently sent a letter to officials at the Coachella Valley Unified School District asking them to get rid of the mascot, according to the Desert Sun.

***

The Arab mascot has been around since the 1920s and was chosen to recognize the area’s reliance on date farming, traditionally a Middle Eastern crop. The nearby community of Mecca also pays homage to the Middle East.

***

“There was no intention to demean Arabs or be discriminatory in any way,” said David Hinkle, a 1961 graduate. “I don’t think it’s right to decide now that you can’t do that anymore. It is political correctness run amok, I would say.”

No more Redskins ... No More Arab Mascots... 

Maybe American's needs to grow thicker skin, aren't there more pressing matters in our society than sports team names and mascots?  

I guess to certain people endless war, sky rocketing poverty and the coming economic collapse pale in comparison to schools and sports teams being politically correct.  

Police Arrest Teen Who Refused to Wake up for School.

According to OnlineAthens:

A 14-year-old boy was arrested Monday morning after he fought with his mother over his refusal to get out of bed for school, Athens-Clarke police said.

The boy’s mother told police that her son had been tardy more than 30 times already this year because of his reluctance to get out of bed.

When he would not get up Monday morning, the mother said she threatened to throw water on him, and he responded by saying that if she did he would tear up their home, according to police.

The woman did splash water on him, at which time the boy punched a window and threw household items, including a large vase and a wall mirror, which shattered, police said.

An official with the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice told officers to charge with boy as an unruly child and with criminal damage to property, police said, and also to bring him to the Athens-Clarke County Courthouse so that he could be held for a detention hearing that afternoon in juvenile court.

This is what state sponsored propaganda centers do to families.  Tear them apart for absolutely absurd reasons.  Mothers calling the police on sons because they don't want to be indoctrinated in to a system that is obviously not put in place with their best interests in mind.  

Let the kid sleep, he'll learn more at home than he will in school anyways.  Let him find his own passions, home school him, get him to enroll in online classes.  Not everyone learns the same way.  Whatever you do don't call the police on him, try to become a better parent and take responsibility for your own child's actions.
