Quote of the Day That Is So Far
Me or the wife?
On yet another “Dress Down Day ” at the Catholic school Ngnat is enrolled at.
“If I wanted her to learn in an environment where everyone dressed like a whore I’d have sent her to public school.”
To be honest, the above was spurred more by the ennoyance of having to participate in a debate with Ngnat over what to wear rather than any of her schoolmate’s sartorial tendencies.
Meanwhile, in the public school system where she would have gone, some parents prefer to sue rather than parent.
Among numerous allegations, the suit contended that minority students were denied equal opportunity to education and due process, and that disciplinary measures varied along racial lines. The suit pointed to the suspensions of 202 white male students in the 2004-05 academic year, compared to the suspensions of 1,297 black males.
The plaintiffs sought monetary damages, along with the readmission of every student who was suspended or expelled under a certain school board policy since Sept. 1, 2003. In addition, it asked for retractions and apologies “to any student accused or suspected of gang affiliation or activity.”
Someone has obviously learned something from the Muslims, if not the DPS. When confronted with unpleasant truths, don’t debate them, or–God forbid–consider changing your ways. Instead, demand an apology, and (since this is the United States, after all) file a lawsuit.
Update: Some of the fine, upstanding youths whose self-esteem was so dreadfully hurt by the DPS.
So far, there are three other plaintiffs: Jazmyn Jenkins, 17; Desmond Johnson, 16; and Angell Lee Copper, 17. Back in December, the district kicked out the three students from Jordan High School for the rest of the year after a fight. The students also were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
Attica! Attica!
