Another Educational Outrage

We are constantly bombarded with outrages that occur in our educational system. Girls are suspended for taking Mydol on the bus, six year olds are punished for giving another six year old a peck on the cheek, or a student is expelled for having a plastic knife to spread peanut butter on his sandwich in a typically bizarre "zero tolerance" overreaction.

I try to highlight some of these. Of course it's nigh impossible to mention every one, I would not get any sleep at all for all the posting.

Here is yet another example of why government education is failing us, and doing so in a spectacularly bad fashion. While I approve of most teachers individually, even tolerating the ones who think they are on Earth to indoctrinate young minds to a liberal mindset, the system as a whole is a huge failure.

In this latest example, a student is punished...for wearing a shirt that is red, white and blue. Not surprisingly, this happened in California. The best part of the story is how the student body came together to protest the ridiculous way the administration handled the situation.

Reading into the story, we find that while the student was being interviewed by the local news reporter the next day, a teacher came up and ripped the microphone off his body. I hope they got video of that crime. Yes, assault is a crime. That teacher should have been arrested and booked.
