Here We Go Again

Well rose petal, had you read my post you would have known that indeed my reference was to a local incident and would not have been mentioned in that article.

Thank you for confirming your inability to stay on topic.

As for socialized medicine, well after all, its you Tea Baggers who have been calling it that all along.

This is just beyond funny. Me, a "Tea Bagger"? That is just hilarious. The other hilarious thing is saying that I have had ANYTHING to say about "obama care" before this thread.

It's no wonder the states are in the shape they are..... ya's are all a bunch of brain dead morons, and gopher just keeps proving that day after day after day.

A one armed man (left or right) can only row a boat in circles gerryh. When the boat is sinking, it only gets harder and harder to row and any chance of getting to shore becomes impossible.

To start with the schools think they can interfere in the family affairs regardless of
where and when the event happens. Parents should band together and demand
family support payments if these institutional bullies want to interfere in the lives of
kids outside school time. I have long said the social aspects of life outside the
school itself should be off limits to schools. I once went to a school once on behalf
of a grandson who prevented another kid from beating him up. He didn't hit back
he just restrained him. Because he resisted behing hit he too was suspended
under zero tolerance. I used the threat of asking for child support and the teacher
went pale. I made it clear my grandson is a big kid, and could have easity defended
himself. I made it clear next time the person attacked him he would defend and not
just restrain and outside of school his actions were none of the schools business.
This girl should take the school to court

Like Karrie mentioned, some schools do have rules governing extra-curricular activities (i.e. morality clauses etc) that appear to be fairly arbitrary.

Tangental local incident incoming. My wife was telling me about how kids in a local high school here have been kicked off the football team and cheer leading squad because of a "sexting" incident where a couple teens sent naughty pics of themselves back and forth. Because they are minors (and the DA likes persecuting teens for this type of stupid experimentation, rather than concentrating on real crime), charges may be forthcoming but at this point they haven't been laid... but that didn't stop the admins from booting some of these kids from the activities.

The whole idea seems half-baked to me, but I can see how these clauses appeal to some people (the hall monitor types). My issue is if you're going to do this, have some REAL justification; don't boot/suspend kids until charges are laid because you don't know what they have done until that point. Back to the OP, I don't know if a lawyer will be able to do anything in this case, but its patently ridiculous that some busy-body would want to punish this girl for possibly stopping a friend from committing a serious crime (impaired driving) and endangering lives. Whats next? Punishing kids because you don't like the color of shirt they are wearing or the friends they have?

rosie,

Thank you for confirming your inability to stay on topic.

It's no wonder the states are in the shape they are..... ya's are all a bunch of brain dead morons, and gopher just keeps proving that day after day after day.

And thank you for keeping the exchange at such an intellectual level. Sheer brilliance on your part. After all, our unemployment is only one tenth of a percent higher than yours and you have more young people moving in back with their parents because they can't get any job. So if we're f.cuked up what does that say about your country and its conservative party government?
