Bikini-clad teacher Tiffany Shepherd, aka Leah Lust, turns to porn after being fired from school

Story: Bikini-clad teacher Tiffany Shepherd, aka Leah Lust, turns to porn after being fired from school

A while back she posed in a bikini on a boat and lost her job because of it. Now the ex-students of Leah Lust can see the real deal in some of her new x-rated movies. The porn industry must have been the only one accepting applications during the last year. Hopefully this is just a stepping stone to regaining custody of her children.

Waterford man says fake student scheme was to show 'flaws in the system'

Story: Waterford man says fake student scheme was to show 'flaws in the system'

A 52-year old man pretended to be a high school student so he could (he claims) expose some flaws in school security. His plan was to write a book. Well, hopefully in the first chapter he includes that part about getting arrested within hours of the first day, facing charges of forgery and criminal trespassing, and being held on $100,000 bond. It turns out the system is completely effective when creepy 50-year old men try to pass as high school seniors. Wow...potential sex offenders will do anything to get near kids!

Flap over flag, hijab leads to suspension of Hernando student

Story: Flap over flag, hijab leads to suspension of Hernando student

A Muslim student did not stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance. A classmate of her decided to confront her in the hallway and demand she take her hijab off. She went on to explain that she plans to enlist in the Army so she can go to Iraq and fight against other enemies that look like her. The parents of the 16-year old feel that this hateful, racist, and threatening harassment falls well within her freedom of speech. Just when you think we're making progress after 9/11, you hear a story like this that sets us back another ten years.

Fla. students sent home over for anti-Islam shirts

Story: Fla. students sent home over for shirts on Islam

Several students were sent home from school in Gainesville for wearing shirts comparing Islam to the Devil. A pastor at a nearby church was handing them out to his followers. He claims, "spreading the church's message is more important than education." Well, I can see he certainly isn't spreading a message of peace and love. But it makes for a good toss up question- Which is more boring- church or school?

Back to School = Back to Sex!

We're back to school and the timing couldn't be sooner for our sex crazed pedophiliac teachers. They must have been in a drought all summer because sex scandals are hitting the headlines like wildfire. Right after hearing that a Phoenix teacher got 12 years for molesting a 14-year old student, teachers from Sunnyvale and Oil City, Pa couldn't resist the urges with teens of their own. A Salt Lake sub lowered the bar with a 13-year old girl and a Barre, Vt teacher just got arrested AGAIN for having sex with the same student. Four teachers from Bucks, PA a got fired because they knew about a teacher-student affair. But a teacher from Warrenton, Va took the prize this week because not only did he have sex with his student, but he made it into his own porn. Gotta love what the bottom of the barrel has to offer. Better add condoms to the back-to-school supply list!

"Sexting" banned at public schools in Texas

Story: "Sexting" banned at public schools in U.S. state of Texas

Good luck enforcing this one! I wonder if it makes more sense to ban "cell phone use," rather than specific actions on cell phones. It's already illegal for anyone to possess kid porn, and anytime a teenager (under 18) sends sexy images of themselves to friends, they are breaking the law. Maybe we should educate students on that fact, rather than trying to institute school rules about off-campus behaviors.

If you've ever asked yourself what a good reason is to show up at the house of your childs' school bus driver and punch them in the face, here is how one mom justified it: "because she thought the bus driver was mean to her daughter." It's good to know that unnecessary violence is still a solution we are teaching our kids.

Pittsburgh school blamed for student's anorexia

Story: Pittsburgh school blamed for student's anorexia

A student is claiming that her peers made fun of her weight, the school did not step in, so she was driven to anorexia. I am glad her mom waited until there was a financial gain to actually recognize her struggling child needed some help. My high school cafeteria had all-you-can-eat pasta every Friday. I have always been looking for a scapegoat for being overweight. Wish me luck!

Birmingham school board candidate lied about biography

This guy had it all wrong. Usually people running for office make lies about promises they can't keep and scandals they are trying to cover up. This guy built up his resume while campaigning, but in reality is some 21-year old high school drop out with no credentials.

Church and State: Schools Divided

Story 1: Texas public schools required to teach Bible this year

VERSUS

Story 2: Florida Principal, Athletic Director Could Go to Jail for Prayer Before Lunch at School

Here's a chance to examine the spectrum we are facing with religion in schools. In one corner, Texas schools will be teaching the Bible just like they teach The Great Gatsby or Hamlet. And in Florida, a couple of educators not only have their careers at risk, but could face jail time for praying before a meal at a school event. Last I checked, our country is loaded with churches that are more than willing to teach the word of the Lord free of cost. And I can't think of many job/college applications that require a background in the Old Testament. So regardless of any freedom of speech arguments, it really seems like there is no practical reason to invite religion into a classoom.

Teacher with gun replicas prompts school lockdown

Students get referrals for saying the word 'gun.' They get suspensions if they draw pictures of a gun. I am not sure at what point actually bringing toy guns to a school seems like a great idea.

Principal suspended for having student to unclog toilet by hand

Story: Punishment lessened for principal who told student to unclog toilet by hand

He was originally fired, but after reassessing the damage, it was shortened to a 15-day suspension. I guess it falls within reasonable discipline to have a 6-year old shove his bare hand in a dirty toilet. To put this in perspective, the incident happened in December- which happens to be just four months into the young kindergarteners school year. I suppose in this principals eyes that is enough time to reach complete maturity.

It's been two years since she lost her job for raping a 14-year old student. She's been locked up for about a year and a half of that.

Kentucky consistently ranks among the Top 10 Most Obese States. Now we know why. Anytime a kid didn't want to run laps, they paid their gym teacher $3. So while this guy is raking in hundreds of dollars, his students are learning an important lesson in cheating the system. As if this wasn't grounds enough to fire him, he also confessed to taking one of his female students on a little private ski trip (this was after the thousands of minutes they spent making late night phone calls). We can only assume he funded this trip with his fat/lazy kid money. What a class act.

Teacher Accused of Choking Student Gets 15-Day Suspension

Story: Teacher Accused of Choking Student Gets 15-Day Suspension

This is great news for parents! In just over 2 weeks their favorite child-choking teacher will be back in the classroom! I guess the code of conduct gets kind of blurry sometimes and ringing a kids neck seems appropriate. Maybe when he returns from his suspension he'll have a new arsenal of submission holds.

Pearl River principal accused of sex jokes

Story: Pearl River principal accused of sex jokes

I am almost certain that the state of New York has its workplace sexual harassment policies in tact. It's just unfortunate that not all education professionals brushed up on these before they were appointed to principal. But hey, there's always open mic night.

College Grad Can't Find Job, Wants $$$ Back

Story: College Grad Can't Find Job, Wants $$$ Back

She graduated in April, hasn't found a decent job yet, so is now suing her school because of it. Maybe she hasn't read a newspaper recently to know that we are currently facing one of the largest unemployment rates in decades. This is a picture perfect example of what is wrong with a lot of youth today. They expect everything to be handed to them, and panic when it doesn't go their way. Something tells me her rigid work ethics aren't exactly going to be catching the eyes of an employer anytime soon.
