Can we please have just a little bit of common sense used in cases like this-pleeese!!
An 11-year-old Des Moines girl was at home on suspension Tuesday for bringing a handful of empty shotgun shells to school last week. "I wanted to show them to my science teacher because he's into stuff like this." A copy of the school policy shows that it specifically bans "live ammunition or bullets" but makes no reference to empty shells or casings.
It's well known there are a lot of stoopids back in the cornfield but this principal is a real dumb fucker. Choosing to make a fool out of himself and probably making this little girl cry as there was no one in danger he could have just said - Jasmine even though empty shells are not really listed it's a good idea not to bring them or come and ask me okay. And of course Jasmine would have said sure and that would have been the end of the story. No big deal.
But no we can not have common sense used in these matters and people in these positions go out of their way to show how seriously flawed they are as humans. Happens all the time and has gotten very old.
Don't get me started on the mental midgets that make their way to principle in our schools.
ReplyDeleteMost of my buddies see this kind of article and acknowledge they would be in alternative schools today. Zero tolerance even when no laws or rules were broken: schools as a continuation of the police state. Order is more important than rights, even for the obviously innocent. Who wrote this lesson plan?
