Just when I think we have already reached a low with how school administration in America handles ridiculous scenarios, they come out with a new one.

Stewart's father Jason said the Texas family had recently seen The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. "Stewart said the principal said threats to another child's safety would not be tolerated—whether magical or not," according to the Odessa American. Kermit Elementary School principal Roxanne Greer declined to comment to the paper.

"I assure you my son lacks the magical powers necessary to threaten his friend's existence," Jason Stewart wrote in an email to the New York Daily News. "If he did, I'm sure he'd bring him right back."

Wow. And if we suspend every kid who threatens every other kid in elementary school we may as well suspend them all. I remember in 3rd grade the great "my brother can beat up your brother" debates. We all threatened to have our big brothers beat everyone else up. I won because I told them I would have to wait until my big brother was out of jail.

But I am glad my kids don't have to worry about attacks from magical beings, or other kids possessing magical artifacts when my own kids are lucky to have an iPod.
 
gawker.com? The name of the source itself would lead me to believe this is all just a joke.

yah. . . . . well, what I read in sites like "AbsoluteTruth.com", "FactFind.com", etc etc would lead me to believe that to get to the truth in an insane world you have to look for sites "FoolOnTheHill.com" or "Nuts.com".

We live in the Post-MadisonAve age where everything "legit" is a lie.
 
As it should be.

Honestly Im glad this person isn't teaching kids her vocabulary is atrocious. If you're on social media and you identify your workplace and make public statements that are offensive you will likely lose your job here if somebody reports it to the employer. Girl from my old work was fired for it quick smart. I cant remember what she was posting i think it may have been anti aboriginal stuff but I'm not sure. She was gone within a couple of weeks of posting stuff.
 
Remind me again, why are we posting about this? Should we start posting daily stories on republicans and pastors who rape children? What about stories about deadbeat dads who beat their wives and impregnate their daughters? Or losers in red states overdosing on drugs or shooting themselves?

Of course some educators do and say stupid things and deserve professional consequences. But the attention this forum gives for educators over the real threats children face due the the sheer amount of garbage posted by trolls? Cmon guys, be better. Stop falling for this ****

Like… you all know what libs of tik tok is for, right? And it’s not to altruistically report on educators, right? Might as well get your news from pizzagate jack or Hannity
