Remember! Women don't have boobies!

I think it's beautiful, like the carving on the front of a schooner.

Submitter has obviously never been around elementary school kids. try to keep them focused on pre-algebra (and yes they learn pre-algebra in 5th grade these days) when theres boobies in sight. they'll point and snicker like Beavis & Butthead.

Pricipal didn't flip out and ban coffee or even Starbucks, just asked that the teachers avail themselves of available heat sleeves. Pretty reasonable response I think. Much better than most "zero tolerance" asshat admins the system cranks out these days.

This made me laugh.

You can have coffee in class? When did that start?
 
2006-09-11 08:46:11 AM
Since when did we start wasting our taxes on paying teachers enough to drink Starbucks?

Heh heh heh, you said boobies.
 
2006-09-11 08:46:18 AM
I don't think the principal is the idiot here. He's just protecting himself and the school district from psycho helicopter parents that would flip out at the thought of little Dakota seeing a farkin boob.

I, for one, am glad that when my child starts school, her in loco parentis educators will be protecting her from such pronography as this:

No but you might be glad when her schools principal saves your tax money from being used to fight a frivilous lawsuit when a students ACTUAL parents sue because exposure to that porn is causing their little Tyler to fail math (cause it couldn't possibly be little Tylers fault, hes an angel)
 
2006-09-11 09:03:53 AM
It's not like he's flippin out throwing bibles at teachres and screaming about indecency.

They're boobies, they distract. That's what boobies are for, and that's why boobies are covered up, especially boobies that are in proximity of children who are curious and quite in love with boobies.

/boobies.
 
2006-09-11 09:16:53 AM
Good thing he didn't mention religion and doesnt live in religious part of the country, because that would just completely invalidate his point.
 
2006-09-11 09:17:40 AM
Boobies, I'm not the Boobieser, I just wanted to type it.

Like anyone these days knows the difference.

Good for this principal for being reasonable. I fail to see why it made even the local papers, though....must be a slow news day.

actually you are both dumb basturds

A Schooner IS a Sailboat!

I don't have a problem with this. Teachers will also be less likely to burn their hands!

Everyone wins.

Seriously, at first I read the headline as if he was implementing the coffee holder thing for the students, and I wondered why elementary students were sitting around sipping Starbucks during class.

Haven't kept up with the times, have you?

They seem to be starting the sprogs on Starbucks early.

And that's why Land-O-Lakes is shortened to LOL.

Back on topic, the principal is dealing with a bunch of fifth-graders (yeah, no shiitake mushrooms, Sherlock) and the best way to make them point and laugh is to bring attention to it. If I was the principal, I'd silently ask that the teachers do that, not make a big deal out of it, and maybe the parents won't notice. The kids do the same thing with the Land-O-Lakes butter lady, so it's really not for their sake. It's so the teachers can actually teach without distractions (though drinking coffee while teaching a class is already a distraction) and so Mrs. Soccer Mom doesn't have a conniption.

I have the solution for this. Two words: JAVA PASTIES!

Just ban Starbucks. Duh.

Good Morning America did a story on evolution vs. creationism, and showed as an illustration a 16th-century painting of the Garden of Eden. They digitized Eve's breasts because god forbid some child sees uncensored classic art.
 
2006-09-11 10:36:37 AM
Can't someone think of the children.

First they see cartoon boobies. Then they fail math. Then they drop out of school. Then they become drug addicts. Boobies will be the downfall of our civilization . . . dammit.

You've got to be pulling my leg...

....is what I'd like to say. Unfortunately, I took two seconds to think before I posted, and recalled exactly how farked up this country really is, so sadly, I can believe it.

Like a friend of mine said when I stopped to think before realizing the true state of affairs last week: "It's pretty sad when you have to stop to think, and realize that common sense won't work"

DRTFA, but this doesn't seem like an outrageous request, unless he's treatening firing teachers for drinking Starbucks. Seems like a very sensible solution to what some retard parent will likely view as a problem.

The Indian chick in the CNN video is hot.

Also, who gives a crap - the picture is 1" high on a cup that's 20' away from the kids. They can't see it anyway.
 
2006-09-11 12:32:56 PM
Does the principal also require the teachers to wear burquas?

I object to "Silly" tag. "Dumbass" is more appropriate.

Thanks Croakerhead,
