If someone ever tries to force my daughters to take off their clothes so they can "inspect" their underwear then there will be severe repercussions.

I can't say how I would react to this and stay within APS's rules

Haven't they ever heard of security cameras?  

Even in the land of freedom we have idiots.

Severe doesn't begin to describe it, and Gustine isn't one of those places where parents are likely to let it slide, either.  I wouldn't be surprised if some of those teachers need to leave the state soon.

Looks like the board meeting is at 6 tomorrow.  I just might try to make it if I get off work in time and see what happens.  It might put Springer to shame.

The board and teachers and educrats will have earned every last ounce of contempt and anger poured over them.  It is for times like this that tar and feathers were made.  For the encouragement of the others.

Dang it. I was thinking about Texas as a possible retirement state. First I crossed Colorado off the list. Then Washington. Now Texas.

What's left that's moderately free of earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and blizzards -- and doesn't tax the residents to death?

Sicko pervs.

Back when I was a youngster, even in the lower grades, FORCE would have been required to disrobe the students.

Such antics by school staff would probably would have prompted a response by the parents that would have required a response by multiple ambulances to the school . . .

Every state has a pervasive level of stupid attached to the public teat, via public schools and public employment.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see a tar cooker parked outside the meeting.  Gustine is pretty rural, and I can imagine the meeting being an outright verbal lynching...if it stays restrained to just verbal.

Anyone besides me wonder what they were looking for?  Racing stripes in a boy's shorts doesn't mean the kid is guilty of leaving a little something on the gym floor.  I mean, even if a kid has a little something left dangling, how is that gonna ID him as the perp?  Not to minimize the level of stupid for doing this in the first place, but I'm trying to wrap my mind around the thought process...what the hell did they think they were going to find to solve the Phantom Pooper case here?

That was pretty much my thought on the matter.  Unless they did it within minutes of the actual deposit, who's to say the kid didn't head straight to the bathroom to clean up afterward?

Plus, I just can't imagine any shortage of spare trail cameras in Comanche County that could be used to get real evidence.

Yes, educrats are everywhere.  The trick is finding a community or school district where the school board isn't just a shill for the teacher's union.

It's the necessary result when you require an education degree for every position and the education departments are mostly peopled with worthless ideologues. (In addition to attracting the dumbest -on average- students attending college.)

It isn't so much that they attract the dumbest students so much as it is one of the easiest degrees to get depending on the subject matter.  

I had a roomate in college who already had his accounting degree, but wanted to teach/coach and was spending a year or so getting his teaching certificate.  He was taking a class on how to teach Algebra and he said some of the people in there could barely handle the math.

The local university's only full PhD program was Education Administration last time I checked.  IOW, it exists solely to be Doctor Principal.

How can there be that much to learn about it?  Will their next PhD program be in Simplified Integer Arithmetic?

Statistically the least intelligent students are ed majors.

Question is who checked the staff?

Well, word from one resident is that the idiot who came up with that plan was hoping that somebody would confess when they announced it, but nobody did, and they felt compelled to follow through since the threat had already been made.

Also, he said that at least half the parents kept their kids home today, and are planning to demand swift, decisive action at the board meeting tonight.

[wmenorr67]

My thoughts being that maybe a staff member left the poo.
