Maybe there should be a rule stating:

"No dumbasses are allowed to be school administrators of any kind!"

Hmmm, LOTS of schools might have to close down if that were the case!

""I took my son to school and met with the VP. This guy is about 30 years old and looks like a poster child for gay bathhouses."

Hmm, methinks Dad has issues...

Sammy Jenkins: Coming from the World Net Daily, I'm sure this article presents a full and accurate account of what happened.

Especially since toolbag dad had to go and write about it on AR-15.com

Sammy Jenkins: Coming from the World Net Daily, I'm sure this article presents a full and accurate account of what happened.

Accurate? Who can tell, since the father states he is 'keeping his family out of the media circus'.

But the quote FTA made me laugh.


I took my son to school and met with the VP. This guy is about 30 years old and looks like a poster child for gay bathhouses. He did apologize lightly, but did not seem overly happy about it. Apparently the superintendent called him about 5 am this morning and told him to 'make it right'. Our meeting very short. The VP ran off and left us with a receptionist. She apologized; returned the pen and gave us the dis[c]iplinary that [was] removed from his record," the father wrote.

After reading the article it sounds like everyone except the kid and the superintendent were asshats.

"I took my son to school and met with the VP. This guy is about 30 years old and looks like a poster child for gay bathhouses."

Way to represent the voice of reason, asshole. Sure, the the vice principal was a moron. Yes the suspension was stupid. Yay for freedom of speech and the second amendment and the right to bear arms and boo zero tolerance policy.

But what the f*ck.

I would've liked some warning that I was going to be clicking on the crazy train that is WND.

 
SilentStrider [TotalFark] 2008-02-02 12:09:10 PM  
is it just me, or did that article seem like it was written by the NRA?

SilentStrider: is it just me, or did that article seem like it was written by the NRA?

Nah. I subscribe to American Rifleman, and the writing is much better than that.

An NRA member on the other hand, maybe. Though not all of them are like that. I'm a member ;)

How can any school have any history books if "Images of guns" are banned?

Schools would be far better off if guns were mandatory, not banned. How many of these killing sprees would have been stopped after a few seconds if everyone around was carrying and could defend themselves?

 
FloydA [TotalFark] 2008-02-02 12:18:43 PM  
Since the school district involved was not identified by the parent, WND could not contact officials for a comment.

...

"I did not feel like putting my family on display in front of the media and tur[n]ing my life into a freak show. I got the outcome I wanted, as did my son," he wrote.



If I saw this story in an actual media outlet run by people with some passing familiarity with reality, I would be outraged at the VP's abuse of authority and his arbitrary reinterpretations of the school's policy. I would then be disappointed that there is no way to check up on the details, since neither the school nor the family are identified.


However, since I saw it in WND, I am reasonably certain it is just another fantasy made up by paranoid, shrill, empty-headed, whiny wing-nuts, and there are no details to check up on at all.

That about sums it up right there.

There's no verification on this story. It's probably about as accurate as the TF Discussions are.

Wrote Wendy Weinbaum, "As a Jewess in the U.S., I recall that America wasn't won with a registered gun! Let's all put our 2nd Amendment FIRST!! And remember, criminal are stopped not by talk, but by FIREARMS."

That is just priceless. The rambling pointlessness of that statement is what WND is all about

/owns quite a few guns

Teacher here...and if anyone tried to suspend a kid at my school for that, I'd be pretty irritated.

/btw...I don't own guns.
//still know stupid when I see it.

Top 10 lists, reporting rumors about celebrities with the same weight as open wars in other areas of the world, and twisting fact to fit company policy. Fark serves us by illustrating how bad American media is.

 
Necrosis 2008-02-02 01:20:44 PM  
The school policy/administrator are stupid, but cmon...citing random quotes from a gun forum? Not that WND has been a bastion of journalistic integrity...

Where else can you mock idiot freepers, ditto-heads, moveon.org members, et al, and not get an account banned. Heck boy, just politely questioning Saint Reagan's role in the actual demise of the USSR gets me kicked off the freeper boards. Heaven forbid you actually suggest they wait for facts before jumping to conclusions, or (applying their own logic to the Republicans) you jump to conclusions about a former bastion of conservatism doing something bad (then they want to "wait for facts.")

You could almost call this place "Mock.com" and get the point across.

 
Captain Darling 2008-02-02 01:23:52 PM  
WND just cuts and pastes Internet chatter? WTF?

It would not surprise me in the least if this story was true, given all the stupid suspension stories we've seen from the professional media. But seriously, WTF?

zz9: Schools would be far better off if guns were mandatory, not banned. How many of these killing sprees would have been stopped after a few seconds if everyone around was carrying and could defend themselves?

If everyone carried guns, the ones who are inclined to take out their classmates would just use a different means of explosive weaponry.

/geez.

Where do you wish to stop it at that point. By your logic the Middle East must be a bastion of peace with all the people that have guns...

Well since they aren't allowed to see pictures of guns, lets get Steven Spielberg to edit out history textbooks, historical movies, etc.

JBalkwill 2008-02-02 01:30:52 PM  
I'm trying to find a location or a school board or some name but nothing really shows up here to prove this actually happened.

/Probably could check the cited gun blogs.

Darius Harris: Thanks, liberals!

Considering how many conservatives campaign for zero tolerance laws on drugs and such as well, thanks to everyone?

Ok, WND is officially reporting on ar15.com forum posts.

SockMonkeyHolocaust 2008-02-02 01:39:31 PM  
You can pretty much stop reading here:
And the newest incident raised concerns among bloggers and participants in web forums.

It would be a real shame if the BLOGOSPHERE and Bongboy69 were upset by anything.

So maybe this happened, maybe it didn't.

This is an article about a forum post.

Too bad all the whiners in here don't give articles in the mainstream press this kind of screeching. This is exactly the kind of shiat that goes on in public schools every day in this country.

Five bucks says that if this kid were Muslim, WND would be singing the school administrations praises.

Thanks, liberals!

Eat a cock, Conservatard! Your GOP butt-buddies founded this zero tolerance bullsh*t so they could stuff more people into prison for longer stretches and reap bigger tax revenues for it. It's attempt by stupid people to solve a problem without taking the effort to actually address the problem. Zero tolerance policies are like killing a cockroach with a flamethrower, but stepping on it won't burn down your house.

Zero Tolerance Policies: Because careful consideration of the law is for pussies. TM

WND is too lazy to run a google search.

It's in WND. It's likely fiction.

 
swahnhennessy 2008-02-02 02:01:22 PM  
So WND created an article based on a forum post of a guy who can't spell? They're starting to upgrade their sources.

Manly, gun-toting cop lays the smack down on faggy, bedwetting school administrator by using his own rules against him?

Georgia

Doesn't say in the article (has it in the ar15 forum) but with a quick google search you can find the guy's Myspace and Ebay accounts, from there you can get the address of where in Georgia this happened.

 
last_ditch 2008-02-02 02:30:29 PM  
great article.

of course if this was in the MSM they would probably tell where it happened and have tried to confirm the story and get comment from the administrators. stupid biased MSM.

 
cmb53208 2008-02-02 02:37:40 PM  
Publickskool administrators are some of the sorriest jackasses to walk the face of the earth. As a group, they deserve not respect but the utmost scorn.

More of them need to be tarred and feathered actually
