GIS for teen suspended



Now that's dragon ass.

So, will the kid who plays Bill Sykes in the school musical Oliver get suspended for portraying murder?

Of course not, he's portraying a guy abusing a woman....

I hope she doesn't kill herself over this.

What is this I don't even

Unfortunately, this is how public schools have to operate nowadays. Scared. Over cautious. Too many a-holes suing over their snowflakes have ruinied it for everyone. Nobody wants to lose their career because your kid made a video. I wouldn't either. Can't say I blame them.

Meh, apology issued in 24 hours, just like:

LGT yesterday's school story.

She didn't fake a suicide.

I love old news!!

This is what makes me all stabby.

"But an alarmed parent contacted the school,"

Being a school administrator must be the easiest job in the world, what with the no requirement to think and use common sense.

I can't wait for the time when we as a society start looking at the over reacting parents who caused this sort of knee jerk nonsense to "Kindly sit down and shut the fark up!" And that time is fast approaching.

It's one thing to ease kids into understanding what's out there in the world. But the "suicide" was just a text follow up at the end of the video. How could that harm anyone?

I have two nephews, one niece, and my wife and I are thinking about starting a family in the next year. I hope at some point by the time they've reached their teenage years someone has at least in a general sense explained to them that bad things happen and what those bad things are. How the hell are kids supposed to know right from wrong if you don't even tell them what the wrong things are? Or even exist?

You don't need to show kids/teens graphic photos but for the love of god can we stop pretending that sex and violence are not part of real life? What exactly are we preparing them for? How to live in Candy Land? When they teach about them about Revolutionary War do they explain it like it was a big game of flag football?

In the US, it's policy to hire narcissistic pin-wits as public school administrators. It's the only way to keep the incompetent employed!

These control freak school administrators that think that they can extend their reach beyond the school need to be busted back down to novice janitors.

FlacidDonkey: pin-wits

huh?

Felgraf: Now, just a minute: I agree that suspending her was ridiculous, but I disagree with the people going "ZOMG WHO CALLED IT IN?! PANSY!".

I was under the impression the parent who 'called it in' thought they'd come across facebook posts of someone actually about to commit suicide, were concerned, and called the cops. I'm not sure why that's worthy of condemnation.

/The people who suspended this girl, though? They're farkwits.

Probably because those people who saw it on Facebook failed to read that it was a fictional character.



Fictional. Char-ac-ter.

"substantial disruption"

So this was like two guys kissing in the cafeteria or a well-developed young lady wearing a halter top. In other words, it both pleased and disturbed the school administrator greatly.

The part that made ME nervous is "School officials shut down the Facebook page, after Jessica was pressured to give up her password." Note: SHE did not shut it down, the school officials did.
So what's next?
"We heard you put a negative review of the school on Yelp, give us your password or worse than a suspension will happen to you."
"Someone told us you got the answers to the test in an email. Give us your email password."
"We think you have some illicit pictures on your phone. Give us your phone and the unlock code so we can search it."

HotWingConspiracy: She didn't fake a suicide.

This. Those school admins must have HUUUUUUUGE vaginas to be able to fit that much sand in em..

My next video would be account of a school admin staff who bullies its students and punishes them for doing good things who all awake to find themselves badly beaten and tied to the seat of a car that is on fire.

You know, a fictional story of what could happen to an asshole staff that pushes the kids too far. Purely hypothetical.

LGT yesterday's school story.

"It was like two minutes of what she had to say and then she said, 'just get out of here.'"

I suppose the principal then let them ride their bicycles home?

/that will teach them

That was my first thought, too. Kinda shoots the whole "I was thinking about your safety" argument down in flames, huh?

Scuttlebutt: This is what makes me all stabby.

"But an alarmed idiotic parent contacted the school,"

She clearly stated twice in the vid, beginning and ending, that the suicide was fictional.

Securitywyrm: "We think you have some illicit pictures on your phone. Give us your phone and the unlock code so we can search it."

Nope, that'd neeeever happen... Link

You know what's an even bigger disruption?

An actual suicide caused by actual bullying that nobody did anything to prevent because of people like this who had their heads too far up their ass to act rationally.

i actually got bullied in school. and i was "supposed" to commit suicide. because i "ruined my life".

i think living off the govt. and eating food stamps is more productive

screw u fark i got a fark acct

I am increasingly firmly of the opinion that prolonged contact with children--infants through teens--must make you stupid. There are too many parents and teachers in the news who have made just the dumbest possible actions and statements. This must be what they mean when they say that having children "changes you". No thanks, I'll pass.

Sounds like she did a kickass job and should have been commended not punished IMO.

Race to the bottom continues! how dare you pass in a creative and intelligent assignment!

Faked her own suicide? Not impressed:

Forty-Two: I usually hate when people post lyric, but Parker and Stone do such a great job:

Lets all get together,
and make bullying kill itself.
Bullying is an ugly thing,
and lets shove its face in the dirt,
and make bullying kill itself.

We can make it stop,
we can stomp it out,
we can beat its ass, until it starts to cry,
lets gang up on it, and tell it it smells,
and beat its ass worse, if it ever tells.

Lets all join together,
to try to make bullying kill itself.
It'll be fun to see just how bad we can make it feel,
make bullying kill itself.

That's worse than Christian rock.

Her fictional character was truly an hero.
