Story: School Principal Posed As 12-Year-Old Girl
For the record, it's not illegal to pose as someone else on the internet. However, when "12 year old girls" start making overly graphic sexual comments, it tends to send a few red flags up. That is how you get caught. I just wanted to make this clear because I know there are millions of us who live in fantasy worlds where we pretend we are preteen girls.

School Board Bans Flip-Flops, Crocs

Story: School Board Bans Flip-Flops, Crocs
This is certainly one of the more pressing issues in education, at least in Mississippi. If you take a look at the minutes from the latest school board meeting, the topic of foot attire dominated the floor. Why should we expect our teachers to be comfortable? Hopefully in the future, they can get around to discussing curriculum adjustments, budget allotment, and graduation rates.

Principal accused of running gambling ring

Story: Assistant principal accused of running gambling ring
This guy was holding poker tournaments at his house and now he's facing criminal charges. The police lieutenant says, "A dispute or a fight could take place. Someone could wind up getting hurt or murdered inside (the) residence." This sounds exactly like the Texas Hold 'Em matches I've played in. I would say this is worth jeopardizing his career over. It's not like he was caught placing bets on students test scores.

Sikh Girl's Hair Cut by School Bully

Story: Girl's Hair Cut by School Bully
I guess we're still not teaching tolerance in some schools yet. Yes, the girl was punished, but she most likely would have gotten the same consequences had she cut anyones hair. Get ready for rallies, because they're on their way. And rightfully so because the story doesn't mention that attacks like this have been going on at this school since Sept. 11, 2001.

Story: Teacher arrested for molesting 4-year-old
Sorry sweetheart. Unfortunately you won't be getting the same kind of moral support as the "Freedom Writers" lady. We are just gonna have to file this one under another Florida teacher who has absolutely no concept of how to behave sexually around children.

Teacher banned for using 'Freedom Writers' book
Smells Like: 1st amendment , books , expression , Indiana , inspiration , teachers
Story: Teacher banned for using 'Freedom Writers' book
Here are the facts: 149 out of 150 parents signed a permission slip to have the book taught. The administration, however, feels that inspiring inner-city kids to achieve goals is not high on the priority list. They would rather prove a point by letting teachers know who is really in charge. Oh, and here's a little irony for you- the book is in the schools library!

Story: Man dressed as penis disrupts graduation
You have schools that lock out people from getting into the graduation, but somehow a guy in a huge penis outfit gets through security at this one. It was later rumored he was chasing after a girl dressed as a big vagina, but they found her in the bathroom crying about something.

High school to ban hats

Story: Prior Lake High to disallow hats
After reading the article, hats seem to be the biggest problem this school has ever faced. Kids are even throwing them off balconies! Clearly this must end. I think Hitler allowed hats, and look how that turned out.

Racial prank changes names in yearbook
Smells Like: California , pranks , racism , yearbook
Story: Charter Oak students upset by racial prank
One yearbook editor's idea of humor is changing the names of the students in the Black Union to fake, borderline derogatory "ghetto" names." Don't schools have advisor's who should be overlooking anything before it goes into print? At a school that is less than 5% black, these aren't the kind of jokes that are going to be forgotten.

Mom sends 2nd grader to school with "N-word" on shirt

Story: Amityville school targets 2nd-grader's 'N-word' T-shirt
The girl had no idea why none of the little black boys or girls would play with her. The mom on the other hand, was irate that her daughter threw a fit when she refused to wear her Klan garbs to school. So instead she went with Plan B, an offensive shirt that the girl really doesn't understand, but will be criticized and punished for.

School locked down after 'ninja' sighted

Story: School locked down after 'ninja' sighted in woods
Something tells me that even during a lockdown, that a ninja would somehow be able to breach security. Which only further reminds us that ninjas are in no way a threat to school students.
