From our 'because he can' news desk, PIG News brings you this compelling dose of Elected Tormentor nostalgia. The Indiana Senate's Education Committee gave objective reality the one-finger salute, this week, when it voted 8-2 to inject Genesis into the state's classrooms.

That's right, PIGsters, Creationism is alive and well, in Indiana:

The bill allows schools to authorize "the teaching of various theories concerning the origin of life" and specifically mentions "creation science" as one such theory. Creationism is the belief that the Earth and its creatures were created by a deity. (Indianapolis Business Journal)

Creation SCIENCE? Don't even think about getting me started on that steaming pile of supernaturalist turds.

You Can't Make This Up

In Draper, Utah, the Educrats in the Canyon School District are getting everything ready for a new cess-school, Corner Canyon High School, which will be open for business in 2013. While the Educrats dealt with assorted devilish details, they let the school's future inmates take care of one very special detail: choosing the school mascot.

After considering various options, Corner Canyon High's future inmates emulated nearby Brigham Young University, by picking the wild, North American, feline, the cougar, as their mascot. No harm, no foul? Uh, nope.

Believe it or not, the Moonbats who infested positions of power in the Canyon School District, overruled the students' choice. Why? Because 'cougar', according to a Moonbat named Mary Bailey (the designated school principal), 'carries an ugly connotation that is disrespectful to women'.

What the f**k is on Mary's twisted mind? What indeed. In her warped world, a cougar isn't a wild, North American, feline. It's a predatory middle-aged woman who has a well-serviced lust for younger men.

After vetoing the students' choice, this Moonbat sensed the rational adult recoil from her brainfart headed her way. Wanting no part of it, Moonbat Mary tried to deflect it with demented, self-serving, drivel about the new school's proximity to BYU. Blah, blah, blah.

For those who care, Corner Canyon High School's mascot is the charger, a name which hasn't set off alarms, yet, in Mary Bailey's alleged mind.

Just for fun, let's look at 'chargers' and run it through the Corner Canyon High School Korrectness filter.

Chargers? Nope. It denotes those who use credit cards, an activity which is - GASP - CAPITALISTIC. That, PIGsters, is insensitive and disrespectful to OCUTARDS. Shame on you Mary Bailey. Shame, shame, shame.

Chargers? Nope. It denotes the use of batteries, which are notoriously hostile to the environment when they're discarded. That means 'chargers' is insensitive and insulting to greeniacs. Shame on you, Mary Bailey. Shame, shame, shame.

Chargers? Nope. It denotes horses ridden by knights and calvary men, an activity which often gets the steed injured and/or killed. That means 'chargers' is insensitive and insulting to the critter coddlers at PETA. Furthermore, the role chargers play in warfare makes the name insensitive, insulting, and demeaning to peace pukes. Shame on you Mary Bailey. Shame, shame, shame.

While you're here, let's check some other popular sports team names and see if any of them could pass Moonbat Mary Bailey muster.

Giants? Nope. It's insensitive: demeans little people.

Beavers? Nope. It's demeaning and disrespectful to womyn.

Ducks? Nope. It's insensitive: demeans cowards.

Dodgers? Nope. It's insensitive: demeans pacifists.

Packers? Nope. It's insensitive: demeans bun rangers.

The votes have been tabulated, PIGsters, and, by a landslide, Mary Bailey is the poster wench for Korrectnik Moonbattery.

Big Brother Sighting in Missouri
Source: PIG News Wire [01/14/12]

A 'Show Me' state government cess-school district is boldly going where it no bullshit DOES NOT BELONG. In In Missouri's Parkway School District, instilling knowledge in the minds of young scholars, isn't even a footnote on their mission statement. Instead, they are obsessed with an Educrat's most compelling shiney object: the highly touted 'obesity epidemic'.

Reading? Forget about it.

Writing? That's so 1950.

Arithmetic? Who needs that?

Instead of those mundane relics of a bygone era, Parkway Educrats are OBSESSED with their new electronic monitors. At first, during a pilot program, selected students were fitted with the monitor during PE class. Later this year, students will fitted with one and ordered to wear it continuously, so the monitor can spy on him, her, himher, or it, 24/7, recording all of the wearer's activity levels.

The monitors measure activity by tracking every movement of the person wearing them. They display steps taken, calories spent and time spent at various levels of activity. An animated figure on the monitor indicates the activity level. A bar shows the target time for doing moderate to vigorous activity and the amount of time achieved at that level.

Under the pilot program, the three schools each received 25 monitors, which cost $90 apiece. The monitors have been rotated among third-, fourth- and fifth-graders in physical education classes.

Each of the district's elementary schools will receive 25 monitors in January and begin using them in PE class.

However, the focus of the monitors' use will change gradually, so that by the end of the year students will continually wear the monitors for a full week at a time to assess activity levels. (Stltoday)

Am I the only one who is utterly DISGUSTED by this bullshit? Am I the only one who dares to say it: a student's activity level, and sleep patterns, are NONE OF THE CESS-SCHOOL's BUSINESS. Attention Parkway assholes! Your job is to TEACH little Johnny and Moonbeam such basic skills as reading, writing, and arithmetic and, you're doing a shitty job, when it comes to THAT. If Little Johnny is a lard ass...if Moonbeam is a slacker who only moves when it's absolutely necessary, that's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. It's a matter for the young 'un's parents and designated medical practitioner, so butt the F**K out, Parkway pinheads. Don't make me come over there.

Parting shot: If you're looking for a rational adult to sound off on this, this should get 'er done:

Neil Richards, a professor of law with Washington University in St. Louis who teaches privacy and civil liberties courses, said he feels the plan for the devices constitutes "a major privacy issue."

"The school district eventually will be engaging in surveillance of kids' sleep and exercise patterns outside the school day," he said. "Though physical activity is important and obesity is a problem, the district could not require kids to wear them because I think it would be a violation of their and their families' Fourth Amendment rights, which is pretty easily unconstitutional."

And wearing them voluntarily doesn't eliminate privacy concerns, Richards said.

"They'll create a record of medical information about children around the clock," he said. "Even if it serves laudable public health goals, it's a fairly Orwellian step for a school district to engage in."

Loaded Questions
Source: PIG News Wire [01/14/12]

When is a Peach State elementary school math test not a math test? When it's infused with slavery-oriented word problems that look like something you'd find on PIG's Dumpster Diving page.

"Each tree had 56 oranges. If 8 slaves pick them equally, then how much would each slave pick?"

"If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in 1 week?"

This panty-wadding fun reached critical mass at Beaver Ridge Elementary School (Norcross, Georgia) when and Educrat handed out THAT math test in a school where the majority of students are properly-hyphenated.

The ensuing backlash forced the cess-school's Educrats to circle the school busses in a protective, defensive perimeter around the usual 'administrative' solutions and/or excuses:

* The math worksheet wasn't properly reviewed and approved, before it was handed out.

* The school principal will work with teachers to help them devise more appropriate lesson plans

* The incident gives school officials opportunity to do some additional staff development.

* The angst inducing work sheet was a noble, well-intentioned attempt to incorporate history into 3rd grade math lessons, in which the teachers "did not do as good of a job as they should have done."

* The teachers didn't intentionally try to offend students with the questions. Their 'sin' is limited to perpetrating "a poorly written question".

It's a nice try, but it didn't get the job done. Outraged parents want their pound of flesh:

* Official reprimands for the teacher(s) involved.

* Mandatory diversity training for the teachers and school officials deemed 'responsible'.

* An official apology.

* A believable explanation to determine "how could something like this happen".

I can't tell the angry parents who perpetrated this work sheet, but I can eliminate the Free State of PIG. If we had a hand in it, the questions would be MUCH funnier.

PIG-Worthy Comeback
Source: PIG News Wire [12/30/11]

After toiling for the Quebec (Canada) school board for close to a decade, our heroine's Educrap-related career hit a speed bump. The cow squeeze hit the rotating cooling device, when the relevant Educrats learned about our heroine's other 'job'. An office assistant, by day, our heroine was moonlighting as a porn actress, a fun fact that got her pink-slipped from her job at the school board, when a student recognized her in a porn flick.. What to do? What indeed.

Our heroine shook off the haymaker to her Educrap-related career, then turned porn actress lemons into porn production company owner lemonade. That's right, PIGsters, after losing her 'day' job, our heroine created her own production company.

The woman — who prefers to go by her porn moniker Samantha Ardente — set tongues wagging in the spring when her off-hour escapades came to light after a student recognized her in an adult film.

Months after she sparked widely varying opinions on her activities, Ardente started a production house for adult films and starred in the company's debut flick.

"I feel positive about everything that happened," Ardente said through a translator. "It was a life experience but I came out a bigger and better person."

Founding her own adult film company was a step Ardente took only after gaining the approval of her 12-year-old daughter, who had previously been unaware her mother did porn on the side.

<snip>

Ardente said the production company she launched in August currently only makes tasteful "soft core" movies with couples. In her own film, she stars alongside her boyfriend and business associate Derek Tyler, but says she also has other projects with prominent porn stars in the works.

Ardente is already featured in a calendar that can be found in select Quebec stores and has plans to launch a lingerie line in the future.

"My life has changed in the sense that people who didn't know me before recognize me in the street as Samantha. They say that they're happy to see I kept my head up and that I kept going forward instead of looking back." (The Canadian Press)

No matter what you think of our Samantha's porn activities, you must give her credit for landing on her feet, by establishing her own production company. It wasn't her first choice, but in the end it was her only viable choice. She offered to end her porn career to keep her Educrap job, but the conditions imposed by her employers were utterly Draconian. Instead, she filed a grievance, which resulted in a mutually-acceptable out-of-court settlement with the school board. Left with her career in shambles, Samantha took the path open to her, and the rest, as they say, is history.

You've Go To Be Kidding

J.O.E.'s infamous buttheaded busybodies just shoved their heads up their butts to an alarming degree. As usual, their bar-resetting outburst of Korrectness stems from a record-shattering level of hypersensitivity. Okay, okay...I'll get to the point.

Ground zero for this super nova class explosion of Korrectness is a song, a song that most of you sang during your rugrat days: 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'. These hypersensitive busybodies have their panties in a painful wad over this ditty, as performed by Brit tykes. Don't bother running through the lyrics of the song, because that's not where you'll find 'it'.

Toddlers singing along to a nursery rhyme have been told not to make accompanying gestures in case they accidentally offend deaf people.

One of the signs made by the children while singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star turned out to be similar to the sign language for the female genitalia.

So staff asked them to stop making the gesture, and instead to use official sign language to accompany their song.

A disgruntled mother has hit out at the decision, saying: 'These are innocent little children just making a sign to show a star. No-one would give it a second thought.

'Now every parent may worry their child may be making an offensive gesture when they're singing this song.'

Given that the British Sign Language gesture for female genitalia is a diamond or triangle shape, it is believed that the gesture was accompanying the line 'like a diamond in the sky', which is known to have caused confusion in the past. (Daily Mail)

Might offend a deaf person? Seriously? Give me a f-ing break.

Parting shot: The brain-dead assholes who perpetrated this bullshit should be tasered into a twitching, babbling blob of Korrectness. It's got to be a step UP, synaptically speaking, if this is an example of their critical thinking.

Asinine Zero Tolerance
Source: PIG News Wire [12/10/11]

According to Brookside Elementary School (Gastonia, North Carolina) one of the cess-school's inmates violated the cess-school district's code of conduct. Deemed guilty of "inappropriate behavior" due to perpetrating "inappropriate statements" the inmate in question was punished with a 5-day, out of school, suspension.

It sounds serious. Let's take a closer look.

According to the inmate's mother, Chiquita Lockett, Brookside Elementary's principal said Lockett's son was guilty of 'a form of "sexual harassment"...' (Fox News). That's very serious stuff, according to cess-school district officials, who don't see anything downright ASININE about nailing a NINE YEAR OLD lad with a sexual harassment charge for calling a female teacher "CUTE". CUTE! Seriously? Is that all it takes to condemn this lad as a precocious patriarchal oppressor?

Update: Overkill is, apparently, a way of life in this school district. Consider, for example the fallout from this insane ZTZ bullcrap:

The North Carolina school principal who suspended a 9-year-old boy for saying a female teacher was "cute" has been forced to retire over the decision.

Emanyea Lockett was given a three-day suspension from Gaston's Brookside Elementary School after he told another student his teacher was "cute" and a substitute teacher overheard the comment, the Gaston Gazette reported. School officials investigated the incident and found that Emanyea had done nothing wrong. The school board then gave principal Jerry Bostic one hour to stand down or face termination.

Bostic spoke out after his 44-year career came to an abrupt end Tuesday, saying, "I didn't show a history of making problems like that. I've had the best of evaluations my entire career and because of some syndicated columnist in New York or California, I don't have a job."

Of school superintendent Reeves McGlohon -- who gave him the quit-or-be-fired ultimatum -- Bostic said, "He told me he had made the decision he was going to terminate me or drop me into an assistant principal position. (Fox)

As PIGster Swine Flew pointed out, firing the principal is stupid and excessive. A 'What the hell were you thinking?' scream-a-thon would have been sufficient.

Our pyromaniac is a 9th grade science teacher, Matt Achor, who plies his trade at Maple Grove Junior High in Minnesota. He exploded into the PIG News spotlight, when a classroom experiment didn't go exactly as planned.

I'm not sure what he was trying to prove, but it seems to be answering the question: what happens when you drop a lit match into a jug of menthol. I don't know the answer Matt Achor was expecting, but I know the answer he got: WHOOSH, a wave of fire turns four students extra crispy:

Fifteen-year-old Dane Neuberger got the worst of it and was still being treated at HCMC Thursday afternoon. "My face was actually on fire," said Neuberger.

Neuberger had a front seat to the demonstration when he said his teacher lit a match. Three other students surrounded him. "He just took a jug of menthol and dropped a match in there. That's like the last I know," he said.

He said his face, neck and hand were all burned by fire. His teacher stopped it from spreading by using a fire blanket. (CBS)

In a rational world, setting fire to your students would be hazardous to your career. But, since this is a government cess-school, it might get Matt Achor nominated for 'Teacher of the Year'.

Fort Worth Grinch Sighting

You'll be thrilled to learn that the Grinches are running the Fort Worth Independent School District. We know this based on the cess-school district's headline spawning rules of Christmas engagement. Because somebody might get a boo-boo on their fragile psyche, the district unleashed Christmas nuking, Grinchy assault which includes:

* Inmates can't exchange Christmas gifts.

* The Jolly Old Elf is, henceforth, uncool for school.

* Seasonal decor is allowed, if it gets past the Grinch's vaunted supernaturalism detector. If anyone views the decor as remotely religious in nature, the item(s) in question are banished.

* Christmas card exchanges are also banished.

Magnanimous to an amazing degree, Fort Worth's Educrat Grinches will allow Christmas gift and Christmas card exchanges between inmates, before school, after school and/or during lunch. Last, but not least, inmates are allowed to say "Merry Christmas" to each other. You gotta love that last bit. It's ironic, in the extreme, to sanction "Merry Christmas" in school, after unleashing a Grinch assault which makes a 'Merry' Christmas, virtually impossible at any of Fort Worth's government cess-schools.

All Balled Up In Toronto

If the inmates at Earl Beatty Public School (Toronto, Cana-DUH) are an omen of things to come, Cana-DUH will soon be over run with whiners, wusses, and wimps. What's their damage? What indeed:

Students at an east-end Toronto school are being told to leave their soccer balls — and other hard balls — at home.

The principal of Earl Beatty Public School banned the balls this week after a parent recently suffered a concussion from being hit in the head with a soccer ball.

The principal, Alicia Fernandez, banned hard balls, claiming they're dangerous.

"Kids were coming in complaining of injury, or being scared," she said.

The ban went into effect two weeks ago.

Students can bring sponge or other soft balls to play with, but soccer balls, footballs, baseballs and even tennis balls are not allowed for safety reasons. (Canadian Press)

If there's any hope for Canada's future, it's individuals like these:

"I wasn't surprised personally," said Diana Symonds who has a son going to the school. "My husband freaked right out. He thought, this is absolutely insane."

Chris Stateski, who has a son in Grade 2 and a daughter in Grade 4 at the school, said he was "disgusted" to hear about the ban, which he felt was an overreaction.

"A lot of things could happen. A child could trip on the asphalt, a child could fall off the monkey bars and break their arm," said Stateski, who also has a three-year-old.

"So many things could happen. What are they going to do — cover the schoolyard in pillows and take all the doors off the hinges?"

"It's just too much."

Stateski said Wednesday he felt bad for the woman who was hurt, but he doesn't feel the whole school should be penalized for one incident.

"Unfortunately, it was an accident and accidents do happen," he said, adding he doesn't think the playground is that small. (Canadian Press)

Banning balls is asinine to a rational adult, but, somehow, it makes sense to the retards running government cess-schools.

Parting shot: The asshats running this cess-school are also spewing this drivel:

Ontario Education Minister Laurel Broten said she stands behind the principal's decision but thinks a balance should be found between keeping kids safe and letting them play.

"I get the idea of wanting to ensure that kids are safe. I also know that principals know the lay of the land at their schools," Broten said Wednesday.

"I feel confident that the right balance will be found and that we will see a community conversation happen with the principal, with the board and with parents at that school."

A spokeswoman with Toronto District School Board says the ban is a temporary measure and the principal will consult with parents and staff to find a solution.

Translation: We think you have a short attention span, so we're going to dither until you forget all about the ball ban.

Zero Tolerance - Jersey Style
Source: PIG News Wire [11/18/11]

Torri Albrecht is a 14 year old wenchlet who did a header into government cess-school Zero Tolerance Zombie intransigence, when she decided to honor her heritage. A proud Southern Belle from Virginia, Torri now lives in New Jersey, where Southern Pride will get you suspended from school.

Torri landed in ZTZ hell, when she wore a sweatshirt which is decorated with the Stars and Bars - the legendary Confederate Battle Flag. Curiously, the damn Yankees running her New Jersey cess-school - Melvin H. Kreps Middle School - weren't thrilled spitless with Torri's tribute to her Southern Heritage.

When the Yankee dogs ordered her to take the sweatshirt off or turn it inside-out, Torri refused. Unwilling to take 'bite me, Yankee dog' for an answer, school officials suspended her. In addition to the suspension Torri is also on the receiving end of death threats, and other poisoned pleasantries.

It's safe to assume there has been memorable blowback, from all directions, because school officials are making 'nothing to see here' noises:

[T]he school district denied Torri was suspended for wearing the sweater, although its dress code bans clothing creating major disturbances.

'We'd rather be proactive than reactive,' District Superintendent Edward Forsthoffer III told the Times of Trenton.

'The Indian kids wear their turbans. The Jewish kids wear their yarmulkes. That's their birthright. That flag is her heritage and I'm not telling her to take it off'. (Daily Mail)

Torri, darlin', I applaud your Southern Pride. I support your exercise in Freedom of Speech. The Free State of PIG has your back, which is a good thing, because you're going to need us, if you honor your Southern heritage, in a school infested with Yankee Korrectniks.

Not Your Usual School Marm
Source: PIG News Wire [11/11/11]

It shouldn't be breaking news, when a government cess-school invites a thespian to take part in an event at an elementary school. In this case, the school event is 'Read Across America', a program that has celebrities instill a yen for reading in the young scholars, by reading them a story. No harm, no foul? The jury is still out.

The thespian in question is an actress named Sasha Grey. If you have cable or satellite television, you might have seen her in Steven Soderbergh's 2009 film, "The Girlfriend Experience". She also appeared in HBO"s "Entourage". That represents Sasha's latest thespian exploits, but it's that other matter which has parents and assorted other pests foaming at the mouth over Sasha's participation in the school reading program.

The 'other matter'? Before she went legit, Sasha toiled in front of the camera as a porn star, whose award winning 'act' was backdoor bingo. Although Sasha has - pun unintentional - put all that behind her, the usual scolds are not willing to let bygones be bygones:

Former porn star Sasha Grey says she will not withdraw from an elementary school reading program despite outcry from angry parents, according to a report from TMZ.

Earlier Friday, news broke that a Los Angeles area elementary school is facing some major criticism from parents after the district invited Grey to read to a group of first graders as part of the Read Across America program.

"I committed to this program with the understanding that people would have their own opinions about what I have done, who I am and what I represent," she said in a statement. "I am an actor. I am an artist. I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a partner. I have a past that some people may not agree with, but it does not define who I am. I believe in the future of our children, and I will remain an active supporter and participant in education-focused initiatives."

TMZ obtained photos of Grey reading to the children at Emerson Elementary School in Compton on November 2 as part of Read Across America. Grey also tweeted about the experience, gushing that the students were the "sweetest."

Angry parents fired back at the school's decision, complaining to the PTA, who then contacted the school's principle. (Fox News)

Are we having fun yet? I certainly hope so, but hold on, for one more tidbit:

A rep for the school district however has flatly denied that Grey was ever present at the school, in spite of the alleged photos. "We have several celebrities who read to our students each year. The actress you have indicated was not present," the rep told TMZ.

I've seen the images on TMZ. The classroom, the kids, and Sasha are all thrillingly real.

Zero Tolerance In Flori-DUH

Located 74 miles southeast of Orlando (Flori-DUH), Palm Bay's Southwest Middle School is ground zero for this week's Zero Tolerance Zombie adventure. The critical ingredients are two inmates, a Zero Tolerance Zombie infestation, and a 'no hugs, no exceptions' policy.

The drama unfolded between classes, when a cess-school inmate, Nick Martinez, encountered his best friend in the hallway, and greeted her with a hug. No harm, no foul? You know better.

The public display of affection was spotted by the principal of Palm Bay's Southwest Middle School, 74 miles (120km) southeast of Orlando. While the principal told WKMG-TV he believed the hug was innocent, he brought the two students to the school's dean, who penalized them with in-school suspensions.

According to the Southwest Middle School's student handbook, students can receive a one-day out-of-school suspension for kissing, while students caught hugging or hand-holding are penalized with a dean's detention or suspension.

The school's strict policy stipulates that there is no difference between an unwanted hug, or sexual harassment, and a hug between friends, WKMG-TV reported. (Fox)

Two inmates hug and the school suspends them? That's crap, and you can quote me.

Catholic University Is Too Catholic?
Source Steaming Load [10/28/11]

Islamikaze inmates at a Rosary True Believer Stained Glass Tower (a religious university)? I don't have any problem wrapping my head around that one. Back in the day, I attended two Stained Glass Towers, which were perpetrated by sects different than the one I belonged to at the time. That experience serves me well, in regards to this incident.

In each case, I did what these Islamikazes can't - and won't - do. I arrived at each Stained Glass Tower with one thing fixed firmly in my mind. Since it was THEIR institute of higher learning, they got to set the ground rules. They also set the decor of their Stained Glass Tower reflect their belief system.

It's that last point which the Islamikazes refuse to tolerate. Like everything else, when dealing with Islamikazes, they DEMAND, that everyone else scuttle anything which the Islamikazes don't like. At Catholic University, that means all symbols of Catholicism must be eradicated, because the merest hint of any other religion, gives Islamikazes a boob-boo. We all know what that means. When an Islamikaze is forced to deal with something he, she, heshe, or it deems 'unIslamic', the whole WORLD will hear the cacophony of caterwauling.

In 60-page complaint to the Washington, D.C. Office of Human Rights, the tragically oppressed Islamikazes substantiated their richly deserved reputation as chronic complainers who invariably epitomize the phrase 'does not play well with others'.

The shyster piece of shit who is fronting for them, John Banzhaf, an Egghead at George Washington University Law School, pooped out this butt bullet:

Banzhaf said some Muslim students were particularly offended because they had to meditate in the school's chapels "and at the cathedral that looms over the entire campus – the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception."

"It shouldn't be too difficult somewhere on the campus for the university to set aside a small room where Muslims can pray without having to stare up and be looked down upon by a cross of Jesus," he told Fox News.

<snip>

Banzhaf said that it is technically not illegal for Catholic University to refuse to provide rooms devoid of religious icons.

"It may not be illegal, but it suggests they are acting improperly and probably with malice," he said. "They do have to pray five times a day, they have to look around for empty classrooms and to be sitting there trying to do Muslim prayers with a big cross looking down or a picture of Jesus or a picture of the Pope is not very conductive to their religion." (Fox News)

Some of the 'oppressive' items which Islamikazes want eradicated at a CATHOLIC Stained Glass Tower include: crucifixes, pictures of the Popes, paintings of Jesus, pictures of priests and theologians, and assorted other boo-boo inducing items. Above all of it - literally - is the most oppressive thing at Catholic University, which that shyster bastard, Banzhaf, deems egregiously 'offensive': "...the cathedral that looms over the entire campus - the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception."

A cathedral? A cathedral at a Catholic university? Have they no shame? I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you.

Once again, Islamikazes prove that they are fundamentally incapable of coexisting with individuals who are not Mecca Maniacs. If you don't give them exactly what they demand, they'll do their best to intimidate you into compliance, with threats and tantrums, until you 'volunteer' to do exactly what they demand.

The F**KING Islamkazes are long overdue for a bitch-slapping. They're long overdue for a non-negotiable STFU reality check. The F**KING Islamikazes need to learn what rational adults already know. They need to have it pounded into their head that, when you VOLUNTEER to attend Catholic University, you tacitly, agree to play by the rules set forth by the Roman Catholic Church. If you can't cope with that, it's YOUR problem, and that means you need to FIND ANOTHER SCHOOL, ASSHOLE. It's not all about you Islamikaze breath, so get over yourself.

"I'll Do It MY Way"
Source: Golden Oinks [10/07/11]

When she signed on for Eastern Michigan University's counseling program, Julea Ward agreed to comply with EMU policy - plus the American Counseling Associations code of ethics, The latter forbids counselors from discrimination in clinical practice.

Julea's conseling endeavor hit a major speed bump, when she invoked her supernaturalism - Cross Cultism - and 'refused' to counsel GLAAD BAAG clients. In 2009, when a GLAAD BAAG came to her for counseling on a his, her, hisher, or its relationship, Julea decided that her Cross Cultism, trumped the job's rules of engagement.

When she discussed the problem with her supervisor, Julea was told to reassign the GLAAD BAAG client. She was also told she needed to attend a "remediation" program, if she wanted to stay with the counseling program. Eventually, EMU evicted Julea from the program, then responded to her appeals for reinstatement with an Ivory Tower class "bite me".

Unwilling to tolerate that as a 'final answer', Julea got lawyered up with the Cross Cult friendly Alliance Defense Fund. They ran a 'religious discrimination' case up the federal judicial system's flagpole.

In July, a federal judge dismissed her lawsuit, but Julea isn't in a cooperative mood about THAT either, so she appealed the decision. She's going to force EVERYBODY - EMU, GLAAD BAAGS, whomever - to let her do exactly as she damn pleases, and to hell with her employer's rules of engagement.

I think the school has this one right, when it says:

"This case has never been about religion or religious discrimination," read a statement issued by Walter Kraft, vice president for communications at EMU. "It is not about homosexuality or sexual orientation. This case is about what is in the best interest of a client who is in need of counseling, and following the curricular requirements of our highly-respected and nationally-accredited counseling program ... This case is important to Eastern Michigan, it also is important to universities across the country, as well as to the several universities in Michigan that have filed briefs in support of our position in this case." (Fox News)

Julea, darlin', you knew the rules of counseling engagement, when you took the job. If you can't do the job you were hired to do, the job you AGREED to do, it's time to move on down the road. They didn't dump you for being homophobic. They didn't dump you for being a Cross Cultist. They dumped you, because you refused to do the job they hired you to do. You made that circle of hell, so it's only fair that you burn in it.

Parting shot: Here's part of the July court decision:

In a 48-page opinion, U.S. District Judge George Caram Steeh dismissed Ward's lawsuit in July, citing the university's rational basis for adopting the American Counseling Association's code of ethics.

"Furthermore, the university had a rational basis for requiring students to counsel clients without imposing their personal values," Steeh wrote. "In the case of Ms. Ward, the university determined that she would never change her behavior and would consistently refuse to counsel clients on matters with which she was personally opposed due to her religious beliefs -- including homosexual relationships."

Zero Tolerance Is A Blessing?
Source: PIG News Wire [09/30/11]

In one Mexifornia teacher's outpost of petty tyranny, his rules of engagement are nothing to sneeze at. In fact, that sneeze could get 25 points knocked off a cess-school inmate's grade. A 25 point penalty for sneezing? That's harsh, but it's not the sneezer who gets his, her, hisher, or its grades penalized. The penalty is imposed on someone who says "bless you" when someone sneezes.

Imposing penalties for saying 'bless you? That's harsh. Harsh or not, Steve-O defends his decision, claiming 'bless you' is out dated, disrespectful, and disruptive. When 'it' hit the fan, Steve-O didn't back down.

"When you sneezed in the old days, they thought you were dispelling evil spirits out of your body," Cuckovich said. "So they were saying, 'god bless you' for getting rid of evil spirits. But today, I said what you're doing doesn't really make any sense anymore."

The good news is that Steve-O doesn't impose the "bless you" points penalty anymore. The bad news is that he's still prick when it comes to common courtesy.

Korrecting Toddlers
Source: PIG News Wire [09/30/11]

Her name is Anne O'Conner, and she wears her political correctness like a badge of honor. If you doubt me, here's all the proof you need, right from this Korrectnik's mouth:

"People might criticise this as political correctness gone mad. But it is because of political correctness we have moved on enormously. If you think that we now take it for granted that our buildings and public highways are adapted so people in wheelchairs and with pushchairs can move around. Years ago if you were in a wheelchair, then tough luck. We have completely moved and we wouldn't have done that without the equality movement." (London Telegraph)

What, you ask, is Anne perpetrating that a rational adult would call 'political correctness gone mad'? What indeed?

Item: White paper teaches rugrats the wrong lessons.

Another staple of the classroom - white paper - has also been questioned by Anne O'Connor, an early years consultant who advises local authorities on equality and diversity.

Children should be provided with paper other than white to drawn on and paints and crayons should come in "the full range of flesh tones", reflecting the diversity of the human race, according to the former teacher.

Item: Lie about your favorite color.

[S]taff should be prepared to be economical with the truth when asked by pupils what their favourite colour is and, in the interests of good race relations, answer "black" or "brown".

Item: Black witches togs are 'racist'?

From the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz to Meg, the good witch from the Meg and Mog children's books, witches have always dressed in black.

But their traditional attire has now come in for criticism from equality experts who claim it could send a negative message to toddlers in nursery and lead to racism.

Instead, teachers should censor the toy box and replace the pointy black hat with a pink one, while dressing fairies, generally resplendent in pale pastels, in darker shades.

What, aside from the obvious maladies, is this woman's damage? She thinks tykes need to be programmed for an inherently Korrect response to colors:

[According to this steaming load of Korrecness] very young children may begin to express negative and discriminatory views about skin colour and appearance that nursery staff must help them "unlearn".

If children develop positive associations with dark colours, the greater the likelihood that the attitude will be generalised to people, it says.

If it's all done according to Anne's grand plan, this brainwashing will produce mind-numbed Korrectnik tykes who will have a natural immunity to all those dastardly 'isms': sexism, racism, etc. And here you were worrying, needlessly.

Another ZTZ Adventure
Source: PIG News Wire [09/23/11]

A fourteen year old Mexas lad, Dakota Ary, discovered, the hard way, that Western Hills High School (Fort Worth) has 'issues', when it comes to an inmate exercising his freedom of speech, during school hours. In a forum where ideas, and opinions, are the lifeblood of Educrap, some ideas/opinions are automatically deemed uncool for school.

Dakota's header into Zero Tolerance Zombie Hell took place in his German class. Nope it's not THAT, and you're not even warm. When the topic turned to religion, Dakota told his friend, who was seated right behind him, "I'm a Christian. I think being homosexual is wrong."

The teacher, who overheard the comment, threw a memorable tantrum, cited Dakota for an infraction, then sent him to the principal's office. Apparently, in Western Hills High, some speech enjoys a lot more freedom than other speech. In record time, he was sent into exile, via an in-school suspension, which is the cess-school equivalent of the NHL's penalty box.

Later, his 'major, 2 day penalty was downgraded to a one-day penalty.

Parting shot: This appears to be a failure of the school system. When Dakota served up his opinion, it should have been seized upon by the cess-school's alleged Educators, to engage Dakota, the whole class, in a discussion of the religious views of homosexuality. It was - REPULSIVE PHRASE ALERT - a 'teachable moment that was squandered.

Cover Up In San Jose

In San Jose (Mexifornia), Piedmont Hills High School's Educrats poured cold water on school spirit, when the went Zero Tolerance Zombie bonkers, by applying strict enforcement of the cess-school's dress code to the school's cheerleaders. There won't be any cheap thrills in the classroom when the cheerleaders wear their uniforms to school, because they're now required to cover up their uniform's new miniskirts.

Intent on cracking down on miniskirts, the high school's principal has decided the cheer squad's new uniforms also have no place in school. Instead, said Principal Traci Williams, the cheerleaders must cover up with sweats to wear their uniforms during school.

"This is really unfair to us," said Piedmont High senior, Antonia Bavilacqua, 17, who is leading the vocal charge to change the principal's mind. The skirts are still OK for games, just not during school. "We're just sad and hurt. It's our school colors and spirit. And they're making us feel like outcasts."

The dress code at the East Side Union High School District campus isn't new -- and requiring that skirts or shorts stretch lower than mid-thigh is pretty universal school code around the country. What's new this year at Piedmont Hills is that the cheer skirts got shorter -- and it happened just as administrators began conducting "dress-code sweeps," yanking inappropriately dressed students out of class and into a special building until parents can be summoned with a change of clothes.

"Pockets are hanging out," Williams said of the offending skirts found during the sweeps. "Cheeks are hanging out. We don't want them bending over." (Mercury News)

How dare these humor challenged Educrats tamper with a time-honored tradition? The cheerleader panty flash has been a rite of passage for American hormone gorillas since the first cells started dividing in the primordial ooze. Is nothing sacred?

Korrecting 9/11/2001
Source: PIG News Wire [09/09/11]

It started, several months ago, when Sarah Snow - she's president of Marietta College Republicans - sought permission for a special commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attack on America. Her idea was simplicity itself - her organization would plant 3,000 small American flags around campus on the morning of 9/11/2011. Later, there would be a candlelight vigil. No harm no foul? Yes, and no.

On June 23rd, she got approval from the southeast Ohio Ivory Tower's Office of Student Life. Game, set, match? Not exactly. When Sarah returned to the Ivory Tower for the Fall semester, she got the thrilling news from the V.P. of Student Life, Robert Pastoor. If she didn't include foreign flags, he would scuttle the tribute to 9/11 victims:

"He [Robert Pastoor] insisted we add the international flags for the reason that it was a 'global perspective' school," Snow told HUMAN EVENTS in explaining Pastoor's basis for interfering with the College Republicans' memorial. He continued, she noted, by saying, "Other nationalities were killed in the twin towers as well" and that Marietta must "consider how the Muslim and Chinese students will feel about the [American flag] display." (Human Events)

When the Ivory Tower asshats sensed the blowback coming, they tried to muddy the waters, by claiming the American flag tribute was never in jeopardy. Susan, poor girl, misread their 'request' that foreign flags be included to 'foster diversity' as a demand. Unhappily the emails tell a different story:

[I]n emails obtained by HUMAN EVENTS, it's clear that Marietta College officials were demanding that international flags be a part of the display. On August 30th, the Director of Student Activities wrote the following to Snow: "… are you planning to include other countries flags? There were more than just Americans that lost their lives on 9/11. I will send you a list of the other countries so that you can add these flags to the presentation." And in a follow-up email, that same director gave a "list of the countries that will need to have flags as part of the 9/11 remembrance," which included Australia, Bermuda, Canada, China, El Salvador, Germany, Grenada, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

It was either showcase international flags or no 9/11 exhibit, said Snow. She decided to go with the former.

If you're smelling a Jihadikaze loving rat running rampant in the administration of this Ivory Tower, you're not hallucinating:

* September 13, 2011: Marietta College's tenured Dhimmis are perpetrating 'a "Pizza & Politics" forum to discuss "how Muslims in the U.S. see/experience freedom of speech."...' (Human Events)

* September 14, 2011: Marietta College's tenured Dhimmis will perpetrate a 'faculty-led talk "on the misconception of the Arab-Muslim culture in the Western world, and the stereotypes Muslims experience in the U.S."...' (Human Events)

And now you know the rest of the story, about the traitorous tenured twerps at Jihadikaze College.

Flori-DUH History Teacher Catches a Break
Source: PIG News Wire [09/02/11]

We have a update on a story PIG News Digest covered a couple weeks ago - Inkorrectness Torpedoes Teacher's Career [08/19/11]. In mid August, last year's Mount Dora High School teacher of the year, Jerry Buell seemed to be headed for date with a pink slip, due to his GLAAD BAAG marriage dissing, Facebook posting.

After an investigation by the relevant Educrats, Jerry Buell has been reinstated, allowing him to resume his classroom duties. Does this mean the Educrats gave him a clean bill of health? It's too soon to tell, but I suspect that they slipped 'homophobe' into his teaching documentation, one way or another:

Jerry Buell, the Lake County teacher who was suspended after making anti-gay comments on Facebook, will return to the classroom Thursday after being reinstated by Lake County Schools Superintendent Susan Moxley.

"If I did not stand up for my rights after telling my students to stand up for their rights then I would be a hypocrite," the Mount Dora High social studies teacher said as he stood in front the school district offices Wednesday with his attorney and wife. "It's been a lesson. It's been a heck of a lesson."

Buell met with Moxley for about an hour before her decision was announced. A "written directive" was placed in his file, said school district spokesman Chris Patton.

Patton would not elaborate on the directive, or say if Buell had been reprimanded. That information will be available in 10 days. (Orlando Sentinel)

I have no doubt that Jerry is a good teacher. Is he, as some claim, a teacher with a personal agenda? Apparently, but his agenda isn't rooted in rampant homophobia. It is, by his own admission, rooted in Cross Cultism:

Buell is a 26-year teacher and social studies department chair at Mount Dora High School. He was heavily involved with the school's Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and some former students questioned whether he completely left his beliefs at the school door.

On his school webpage, he wrote that he tries to "teach and lead my students as if Lake Co. Schools had hired Jesus Christ himself."

On his class syllabus, he also offers this warning to students: "I teach God's truth, I make very few compromises. If you believe you may have a problem with that, get your schedule changed, 'cause I ain't changing!" On a separate document, he also said the classroom was his "mission field."

Apparently, Lake County school officials aren't troubled by Jerry's missionary zeal. I guess that's 'fair', since they're equally willing to let GLAAD BAAGs and other 'recognized victim groups strut their stuff. No harm, no foul? I'm not there, yet, but nobody asked for my permission.

New Brit Islamikaze Demands
Source: PIG News Wire [08/26/11]

J.O.E. dwelling Islamikes who attend a Brit Ivory Tower have their dish rag headgear in a knot over some new rules of student loan engagement. Under the changes which come on line in 2012, the interest rate on student loans increases:

Until now they have paid the market rate of inflation but the reforms mean students who go on to earn more than £21,000 will have to pay interest of up to 3 per cent. (Daily Mail)

No doubt, most students are differently-thrilled about the new student load policy, but only the Islamikazes are demanding special treatment. Why? Because paying interest on a loan is - TA DA - against their religion:

[I]n some interpretations of Sharia law, which is Islam's legal system and governs every aspect of Muslim life, loans are forbidden.

The National Union of Students has said it could be two years before an alternative system is worked out, leaving some Muslims fearing they cannot go on to further education.

The Federation of Student Islamic Societies told The Independent that the rate increase was a 'pressing issue'.

A spokesman said: 'Because the rate of interest is above the rate of inflation, it is quite blatant usury.'

Usury means the practice of lending money and charging the borrower interest, possibly at a very high rate.

Mohammed Ahmed-Sheikh, 17, says the changes will discourage him from applying to university next year.

'The fees are the reason I'm having doubts. I'm Muslim and loans are against my religion,' he told The Independent. (Daily Mail)

Predictably, Brit officials are eager to coddle the Islamikazes, by giving them a sharia-cool alternative. The sharia-cool alternative involves a scheme where - I'm not making this up - 'education could be rented', instead of purchased via a student loan.

Some are more equal than others is alive and well in Britainistan.

Tunnel of Oppression

If you're utterly giddy over the fact that Little Johnny or Moonbeam is headed off to college for their freshman year, you're headed for a WFT moment, proud parent Sparky. Lurking behind the warm and fuzzy facade of 'freshman orientation', is a hellish, victimhood on steroids gem called the "tunnel of oppression". If Little Johnny is an oppressor (PIGlish for an unhyphenated white male heterosexual) he's going to be hammered with a steaming pile of Korrectness named "white privilege", after which the NO-NADs will hound him for being a charter member of a "rape culture". Leaving nothing to chance, Little Johnny and/or Moonbeam will be coerced into discussing their sex life, starting with which sexual team they belong to...and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Consider the shocking account from a student trained to be a dorm supervisor -- a resident adviser, or RA -- at DePauw University in Indiana. One of her first duties last fall was to lead her new students through a house decorated as a "Tunnel of Oppression," where supposedly "realistic" demonstrations in each room taught lessons such as how religious parents hate their gay children, Muslims would find no friends on a predominantly non-Muslim campus and overweight women suffer from eating disorders.

Indeed, in her training to become an RA, "We were told that 'human' was not a suitable identity, but that instead we were first 'black,' 'white,' or 'Asian'; 'male' or 'female'; ... 'heterosexual' or 'queer.' We were forced to act like bigots and spout off stereotypes while being told that that was what we were really thinking deep down." Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. must be spinning in his grave.

Unsurprisingly, she turned down the school's offer to be an RA this year -- she'd rather find another job.

DePauw is no rare case. At least 96 colleges across the country have run similar "tunnel of oppression" programs in the last few years. (NY Post)

In this Obamunist Error, Ivory Tower Korrectniks are on an "all white people are racists", "all men are rapists" rampage. If that's their idea of a Diversity of IDEAS, it's time to boot these assholes out of academia, because INDOCTRINATION has no place in an institution dedicated to EDUCATION.

Affiliated with the Mennonite Church, Goshen College in northern Indiana seems like an unlikely Stained Glass Tower (Religious College) to appear on PIG's vaunted, 'bite me you rat bastards' radar. Unlikely or not, Goshen College made the cut.

It's not breaking news when an entity bans a song.

It's not breaking news when the entity bans a song because it's 'too violent' and contains reference to 'war'.

It IS breaking news when the entity is a College and the song banned for its violence and references to war is 'The Star Spangled Banner', the USA's national anthem.

How far does Goshen College's Educrats have their heads shoved up their asses? It's record shattering, because, they even banned the playing of an instrumental version of "The Star Spangled Banner". What a bunch of assholes!

Glass half full PIGsters - you know who you are - will be giddy to learn that Goshen College has replace our national anthem with 'America the Beautiful'.

Banned In Virginia
Source: PIG News Wire [08/19/11]

When it comes to book banning, 'it's for the children' is always the excuse deployed to hide the whiner's real beef: the book gives the ADULT a boo-boo on their fragile psyche. If you cut through all the self-serving claptrap, you find our old nemesis, the entirely mythical 'right' that protects the hypersensitive from being offended.

This time out, the offending tome is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first published story featuring Sherlock Holmes: 'A Study in Scarlet'. In Albermarle County (Virginia), Educrats use this book to introduce their inmates to the mystery genre, and give them their first look at Sherlock Holmes. How, you ask, is that offensive? How indeed.

According to a caterwauling cretin named Brette Stevenson, 'A Study In Scarlet' is 'derogatory toward Mormonism. The various news items covering this asshat's whining, don't serve up any specific complaints. Citing articles from 'The Daily Progress' and USA Today, a blogger at the Salt Lake Trib gets us 'in the zone' with these pertinent particulars:

The newspaper article doesn't elaborate on what specifically was offensive to the parent about the book, but a USA Today article may provide a clue, quoting a paragraph in which a character says the idea of his daughter marrying a Mormon would be "a shame and a disgrace."

Part of the story takes place in 19th-century Utah. According to a 1994 Salt Lake Tribune article, the book bolstered the idea that "Danites, the Avenging Angels of Mormondom, were steeped in the assassination of apostates, and that polygamy was white slavery."

Which part of it's not HISTORY, it's FICTION, doesn't this steaming pile of chronically offended shit understand?

Inkorrectness Torpedoes Teacher's Career
Source: PIG News Wire [08/19/11]

Jerry Buell's professional stats are impressive. An American history teacher, Jerry has been in the trenches at Mount Dora High School (Flori-DUH) for 22 years. Last year, he added 'Teacher of the Year' to his accomplishments, along with his spotless record. Career-wise, it appeared to be smooth sailing for Jerry...until...

Jerry is headed for the unemployment line, due to something he said that upset the usual suspects in the Mount Dora area. I know what you're thinking, and you'd be right if, he got nailed for saying something egregiously inKorrect in a classroom, or anywhere else in school. Been there, seen that, so it's not breaking news, under those circumstances.

The fun reached critical mass, on July 25, when Jerry saw the MSM coverage of GLAAD BAAG marriage, after the Empire State legalized it. In short order, Jerry sounded off with this prose:

"I'm watching the news, eating dinner when the story about New York okaying same-sex unions came on and I almost threw up," he wrote. "And now they showed two guys kissing after their announcement. If they want to call it a union, go ahead. But don't insult a man and woman's marriage by throwing it in the same cesspool of whatever. God will not be mocked. When did this sin become acceptable?" (Fox News)

If he said it to a class of his inmates, I would - somewhat - get the school's hostile reaction. But, in this case, Jerry posted his mini rant against GLAAD BAAG marriage, on his Facebook page. Three minutes after his first post, Jerry kicked it up a notch, or two, with this follow-up:

"By the way, if one doesn't like the most recently posted opinion based on biblical principles and God's laws, then go ahead and unfriend me. I'll miss you like I miss my kidney stone from 1994. And I will never accept it because God will never accept it. Romans chapter one."

Predictably, some chronically offended asshat, got its panties in a bunch over Jerry's Facebook based freedom of speech exercise, then ran caterwauling to the cess-school's officials. Alarmed over what they viewed as Jerry's egregiously homophobic attitude, the Educrats yanked one of the school's best teachers out of the classroom, then opened an investigation.

According to the school system, what Buell wrote on his private account was disturbing. They were especially concerned that gay students at the school might be frightened or intimidated walking into his classroom. [Lake County Schools' version of Bagdad Bob, Chris] Patton also disputed the notion that Buell's Facebook account is private.

"He has (more than) 700 friends," he said. "How private is that – really? Social media can be troubling if you don't respect it and know that just because you think you are in a private realm – it's not private."

Buell's attorney strongly disagreed and accused the school system of violating his First Amendment rights.

"The school district is being anti-straight, anti-First Amendment and anti-personal liberty," said Horatio Mihet, an attorney with the Liberty Counsel. "The idea that public servants have to whole-heartedly endorse homosexual marriage is repugnant to the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution," Mihet told Fox News Radio.

"All he did was speak out on an issue of national importance and because his comments did not fit a particular mold, he is now being investigated and could possibly lose his job. What have we come to?"

Needing more dirt, Bagdad Bob Patton worried that Jerry's refusal to drink the cess-school's Korrectnik Kool-aid might not be enough. After visiting Jerry's Facebook page, Bagdad Bob Patton asked the local Korrectniks to send him any/all of Jerry Buell's writings. Bagdad Bob Patton is particularly alarmed by the inclusion of numerous passages from that infamously inKorrect book - The Bible - on Jerry Buell's Facebook page. THE BIBLE? I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you. No wonder Bagdad Bob Patton is so eager to fire Jerry Buell.

As expected, Jerry's legal eagle, Horatio Mihet, has a lot to say about Bagdad Bob Patton's Tome-bashing bias:

"These are not fringe ideas that Mr. Buell espoused on his personal Facebook page," he told Fox News Radio. "They are mainstream textbook opposition to homosexual unions – and now he's been deemed unfit to teach children because he opposes gay marriage? My goodness." Buell believes the school system is trying to send a message to Christian teachers.

"There is an intimidation factor if you are a Christian or if you make a statement against it (gay marriage) you are a bigot, a homophobe, you're a creep, you're intolerant," he said. "We should have the right to express our opinions and talk about things."

Did Jerry violate the Kool-aid swilling clause of his employment contract? That's a question that must be settled in court, like any other contract dispute. No matter how that turns out, Jerry's teaching career is stick a fork in it 'done', because, when it comes to cess-schools, Korrectnik asshats like Bagdad Bob Patton are the RULE, not the EXCEPTION.

Parting shot: It's interesting to see how much easier firing a teacher becomes, when the educators crime is 'inKorrectness'. If, instead of criticizing GLAAD BAAG marriage based on his belief in the Bible, Jerry was an Islamikaze who dissed GLAAD BAAG marriage, based on his belief in the Koran, he'd be rewarded, hailed a hero, instead of getting fired. Some are more equal than others? You better believe it, Sparky.

Disappointmints Follow-Up

If you're not up to speed on a candy named 'Disappointmints', you can read all about it, by scrolling down to last week's story - Disappointmints Banned At Tennessee IvoryTower Source: PIG News Wire [08/06/11] - for all the PIGish particulars.

After Tennessee state Senator Joe Armstrong intimidated the University of Tennessee book store into pulling the candy from its shelves, this steaming pile of political hack crap probably did a victory lap. Admittedly, he won that battle, but in the process, by giving 'Disappointmints' a treasure trove of free publicity, he lost the war. As usual, the free publicity drove demand through the roof.

On eBay, and $3 tin of Disappointmints are selling for $30 and higher. Meanwhile, the perpetrator of Disappointmints, Unemployed Philosophers Guild, is scrambling to keep up with the demand. A spokeshole for the company - Jay Stern - reports that, in addition raising the unit price from $3 per tin, to $5 per tin, the company's handful of employees are struggling to keep up with the demand:

"It's been stressful," said Stern. "It's kind of like that episode of 'I Love Lucy' were she's got the conveyor belt and it's going too fast. Every five minutes we do a Web import and we have 30 new orders."

As of Wednesday at 9 a.m., the company had enough mints to last through Christmas, Stern said. Now, they are back-ordered two to three weeks. The company has also upped the price from $3 to $5 to pay to have 8,000 new tins air-shipped to Seattle. From there, they'll head to a Johnson City fulfillment center, Stern said. (Knoxville News Sentinel)

The University of Tennessee bookstore is also dealing with the aftershocks from banning 'Disappointmints'. According to bookstore director, David Kent, his staff is spending most of its time dealing with 'hundreds and hundreds of calls and emails'. David Kent is pleased that so many people want to sound off on the banning of Disappointmints, but he wishes he wasn't happening during his busiest time of the year.

For vastly different reasons, David Kent and Jay Stern have that titanic turd, state Senator Joe Armstrong to 'thank' for their mints-related burst of activity.

Thanks to his interference, Disappointmints are a hit. Attention state Senator Armstrong, the law of unintended consequences even works for a piece of crap like you.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

For a Long Island (New York) school bus driver, George Daw, it started out like any other day, until a virtual monsoon made his life relentlessly thrilling. His day turned to crap, when a torrential downpour snarled traffic in New Hyde Park, turning the road into a watery road hazzard for the motorists

Eventually, to the great relief of George Daw, and the one child who remained on his bus, our hero extricated his SUV school bus, but his adventure was far from finished. George put on his Good Samaritan hat, when he heeded the pleas for help from three Nassau County police detectives, whose unmarked patrol car was irredeemably thrashed by the storm.

Despite prevailing rules of engagement which banned such things, George offered the police officers a ride to safety. After dropping them off, and delivering his young passenger, George head for the 'barn', where he filled out an incident report which included his Good Samaritan adventure. No harm, no foul? Hardly.

Instead of taking the extenuating circumstances into consideration, George's employers fired him, accusing him of "endangering the welfare of the student by picking up three unauthorized passengers". He was also cited for "making decision to drive through large body of water". They act like he had a choice about driving through water, when, thanks to the storm, he didn't.

If you think George Daw is second guessing his decision to give the officers a lift, get over it:

"Do I leave these three police officers, due to company policy?" Daw said. "I didn't even second guess it. I told the child to jump in the back, these people are coming on board. I had to get them." (CBS Affiliate)

George's former employer, Educational Bus, has set a new gold standard for shoving their head up their ass. If your tyke is riding a school bus, you'd rest much easier, if the driver was someone as awesome as George Daw.

George deserves better, and that's a no shit fact.

Disappointmints Banned At Tennessee IvoryTower
Source: PIG News Wire [08/06/11]

They're called Disappointments and they're the handiwork of the Unemployed Philosopher's Guild, which has 25 versions of their mints, including varieties that use Sarah Palin and W as targets of satirical opportunity. Before I delve into a sorry saga staring an Elected Tormentor who didn't get the joke, I'll 'enlighten' all of you with this product-defining prose from the Unemployed Philosopher's Guild web site:

Disappointmints

From our Tough Love Department comes Disappointmints. Hey, we've been as big a fan of Barack Obama as anyone. But with each compromise for the sake of unity, "Yes we can" looks more like "No he can't." So in the name of Free Speech and Fresh Breath, we're offering Disappointmints. They're delicious little mints packed in a colorful tin that tells our President just how we feel. We're pretty sure he shops here, so we expect he'll get the message. And Big O - Nothing would make us happier than to take Disappointmints off the market! {Emphasis added}

It appears that in addition to being an unemployed philosopher, the perpetrator of Disapppointmints is also a disgruntled Hopey McChanger who is bummed that The One hasn't transformed the shining city on the hill into a Soviet-style gulag by now.

Meanwhile in the Volunteer State...

Flexing his Nanny State muscles, a steaming pile of Volunteer State crap, DEMONCRAT state Rep. Joe Armstrong declared war on Disappointmints, after an inmate at University of Tennessee was - TA DA - offended by the candy's Barry mocking container (see image). Full of himself and it, Jackass Joe went to the bookstore in the basement of the University Center, bought a box of Disappointments, then did what comes naturally, he spewed his 'I'm so offended' drivel at the bookstore's director, David Kent. Eventually, probably to make this caterwauling pile of political hack turds STFU, David Kent removed the product from the store's shelves.

Trying to defend the indefensible, state Rep. Joe "SCREW FREEDOM OF SPEECH" Armstrong pooped out this bull crap:

"When you operate on state and federal dollars, you ought to be sensitive to those type of politically specific products," Armstrong said. "If it was a private entity or corporation or store, (that's different), but this is a state university. We certainly don't want in any way to put the university in a bad light by having those political (products), particularly aimed at defaming the president."

Glenn Reynolds said it all with this PIG-worthy pronouncement: "Let Me make very clear, there is no candy exception to the First Amendment."

Nice try Glenn, but state Rep Armstrong is a liberty despising Moonbat whose views on the First Amendment's freedom of speech aren't even in the same universe as the framers' intent. For this pimple on humanity's left butt cheek, everyone else's freedom of speech is limited to those things - it's a very SHORT list - which Jackass Joe wants to hear. Apparently, when he swallowed an ocean of Messiah Barry's Kool-aid, he ended up drowning out all synaptic activity in the process.

Tennessee State Representative Joe Armstrong isn't the only thing that this pagan scribbler finds wrong with Tennessee, but he's a top contender for my 'what the hell is wrong with Tennessee' poster punk.

Parting shot: I don't really give a crap about the Unemployed Philosopher's politics. This product, Disappointmints, rocks my world.

If you think you've heard all the possible excuses, when it comes to female teachers who get horizontal and squishy with their students, prepare to be thrilled. Our horny Educrat, Stacy Schuler, is a 33-year-old phys ed teacher at Mason High School (Mason, Ohio). Between August and December of 2010, Stacy serviced five hormone gorillas (teenage males).

Fast forward to the present, and Stacy has been bitch-slapped with sexual battery (16 counts) plus giving booze to minors (3 counts). If she hopes to elude a graybar stint, Stacy and her legal team need to come up with a workable defense. Ideally, it would absolve Stacy from blame. Did they find something? Yup.

Stacy is boldly blazing new territory with an insanity defense. That's right INSANITY. According to Stacy's legal eagle, Charlie Rittgers, Stacy became "impaired and thereby unable to prevent the young men from taking advantage of her." That's right, Stacy claims she hit a synaptic speed bump which rendered her defenseless, when those horny hormone gorillas had their way with her. Congratulations Stacy, you're in the running for excuse of the year.

Science vs Supernaturalism in Mexas
Source: PIG News Wire [07/23/11]

At press time, the eagerly anticipated battle between Creationists and Evolutionists appeared to be off the agenda for the Mexas State Board of Education. Instead of joining in battle over Intelligent Design (Creationism in a beard, wig, and lab coat) the Educrats confined themselves to minor changes to the new science regime.

One of the items that seems headed for oblivion is an electronic textbook which perverts science by including lessons on Intelligent Design. The rejection of this textbook isn't etched in stone, but so far, it's looking good for objective reality.

Update: The chads were punched and sanity prevailed:

The Texas Board of Education has unanimously come down on the side of evolution. In an 8-0 vote, the board today approved scientifically accurate high school biology textbook supplements from established mainstream publishers--and did not approve the creationist-backed supplements from International Databases, LLC.

Another Zero Tolerance Adventure
Source: PIG News Wire [07/09/11]

It all went to crap, for an inmate at Rushville Consolidated High School (Indiana), when our hero, 18 year old Tyell Morton, decided to perpetrate a silly, high school prank. Instead of a good laugh, Tyell did a header into the cess-school's Zero Tolerance Zombie policies and that's no laughing matter.

Step 1: Wearing a hoodie and gloves, Tyell had his 'surprise' hidden in a package, when he strolled into the school on May 31st.

Step 2: He unpacked and inflated his 'surprise', a blow-up sex doll, which he deployed in the girl's restroom.

Step 3: After ditching the package, he beat a hasty retreat, but his departure was witnessed by a school janitor.

Step 4: Worried school officials review security camera footage, which showed a hooded figure enter with a package and leave without it.

Step 5: Putting the school in lockdown, administrators called in K-9 police mutts and the bomb squad, for a complete search of the school. The only anomalous item the search produced was the sex doll.

Step 6: Tyell is bagged, tagged and dragged for 'disorderly conduct' (a misdemeanor). He's also charged with institutional criminal mischief (a felony, which carries a heavy penalty: 2 to 8 years in the big house).

Are school officials ready, willing, and eager to destroy Tyell's life over a high school prank? Yup, and they don't appear ready to back down. The Rush County Prosecutor, Philip Caviness, isn't willing to back off on the charges laid at Tyell's feet. He does offer a faint ray of hope, when he claims that he doesn't plan to ask for a prison term for Tyell. It's better than nothing, I suppose, but it would still leaves Tyell with an indelible 'felon conviction' stain on his police record.

Parting shot: In the era of post Columbine paranoia, the school's actions - a lockdown followed by a comprehensive police search of the school - are understandable. It's the aftermath, that troubles me. There has to be a better way to teach Tyell the error of his ways, without a felony conviction hanging around his neck like a leper's bell.

Gender Warfare in Sweden
Source: PIG News Wire [07/02/11]

Talking social engineering off the scale, Swedish feminazis infused Swedish Educrap with a steaming pile of gender warfare crap. Ground zero for this stinker is a preschool named "Egalia". What the hell are they doing at this outpost of NO NAD indoctrination? What indeed.

The perpetrators spout drivel about fostering gender equality, a sales pitch which amounts to 'we're freeing our inmates from the tyranny of pre-defined gender identity'.

At the "Egalia" preschool, staff avoid using words like "him" or "her" and address the 33 kids as "friends" rather than girls and boys.

From the color and placement of toys to the choice of books, every detail has been carefully planned to make sure the children don't fall into gender stereotypes.

"Society expects girls to be girlie, nice and pretty and boys to be manly, rough and outgoing," says Jenny Johnsson, a 31-year-old teacher. "Egalia gives them a fantastic opportunity to be whoever they want to be."

If you need that translated, I'm up to the challenge. Boys will no longer be allowed to be boys, because the misandrists (women who HATE men and boys) running Egalia won't tolerate it.

At Egalia - the title connotes "equality" - boys and girls play together with a toy kitchen, waving plastic utensils and pretending to cook. One boy hides inside the toy stove, his head popping out through a hole.

Lego bricks and other building blocks are intentionally placed next to the kitchen, to make sure the children draw no mental barriers between cooking and construction. (WRAL)

Is Egalia a deliberate assault on boys will be boys? We the PIGs think so, but don't take our word for it:

Jay Belsky, a child psychologist at the University of California, Davis, said he's not aware of any other school like Egalia, and he questioned whether it was the right way to go.

"The kind of things that boys like to do - run around and turn sticks into swords - will soon be disapproved of," he said. "So gender neutrality at its worst is emasculating maleness." (WRAL)

The truth about the REAL agenda at Egalia is exposed by some noxious nuggets.

Nugget 1: GLAAD BAAG indoctrination

Director Lotta Rajalin notes that Egalia places a special emphasis on fostering an environment tolerant of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. From a bookcase, she pulls out a story about two male giraffes who are sad to be childless - until they come across an abandoned crocodile egg.

Nearly all the children's books deal with homosexual couples, single parents or adopted children. There are no "Snow White," ''Cinderella" or other classic fairy tales seen as cementing stereotypes.

Rajalin, 52, says the staff also try to help the children discover new ideas when they play.

"A concrete example could be when they're playing 'house' and the role of the mom already is taken and they start to squabble," she says. "Then we suggest two moms or three moms and so on."

Nugget 2: Who's behind the gender 'neutral' pronouns:

Egalia is unusual even for Sweden. Staff try to shed masculine and feminine references from their speech, including the pronouns him or her - "han" or "hon" in Swedish. Instead, they've have adopted the genderless "hen," a word that doesn't exist in Swedish but is used in some feminist and gay circles.

If you cut through all the crap, Egalia's vision of Utopia is a world populated, exclusively, by females. Until they can get that established, the Egalia feminazis will settle for a world dominated by females, where all the 'men' are GLAAD BAAGs.

Egalia is a steaming pile of turds that needs to be flushed.

Parting shot: The war on gender-specific pronouns struck a nerve with me. Why? Because, a long time ago, I penned this snarky prose about genderless pronouns:

PIG Wire...Beserkeley, Mexifornia
The Multicultural Heritage Federation has declared certain gender-based nouns and pronouns as divisive and proposes new, gender-neutral pronouns, carefully selected to be more 'inclusive' than the traditional, sexist, Euro-centric terms.

He/She soun [social unit]
Him/Her sount
His/Hers soun's
man\woman socon [social consciousness]

PIG's editorial staff is currently debating whether we should adopt this new standard. For now, PIG shall continue the existing policy of deleting gender-based nouns and pronouns whenever possible. PIG offers our heartfelt apologies to our more socially sensitive readers, asking them to be patient with us, a little longer.

You know you've blundered into the Twilight Zone, when the Moonbats live down to my darkest, most irrational, expectations.

Maryland Greens Up Educrap
Source: PIG News Wire [06/25/11]

Moonbat infested Maryland lurched even farther to the left, this week, when the added a new layer of indoctrination to the state's government cess-schools' graduation requirement. Now, in addition to the usual "Marxism rocks, Capitalism sucks" brainwashing, the state's government school inmates must be programmed to spew state certified greeniac bullcrap, on demand, before they're allowed to graduate from high school:

Moonbattery posted this PIG-worthy prose:

Today's vote by the Maryland board of education requires that students get a "comprehensive, multi-disciplinary environmental education" before receiving a diploma. Districts will have to develop plans for coursework that meets state standards in environmental literacy and have their plans approved by the state superintendent of schools. They will also have to develop ways to assess students' mastery of the material in order to determine if they are eligible for graduation.

Presumably this means that if you won't pretend capitalism makes it be too warm out for the polar bears, you don't get your diploma.

The action today follows a decision by the board last summer to require that students get a bigger dose of environmental literacy than they had been getting in typical science classes. There was some confusion, however, about whether that action actually made environmental literacy a graduation requirement. Today's vote was intended to clear up that confusion and make the requirement official.

Socialist and environmentalist Adolf Hitler may have provided the inspiration:

"When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already… What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community."

Of course public school students can still feel free to graduate without being able to read, write, or do simple math.

Mind-numbed robots? You better believe it, greenie weenie Sparky.

Zero Tolerance On Steroids
Source: PIG News Wire [06/18/11]

For cess-school administrators, Zero Tolerance, with it non-negotiable, one-size-fits-all, myopia, makes enforcing the rules so simple no thinking is required. In fact, thinking would only get in the way, because it opens the door to objective reality and we all know what a pain in the butt that is for a reality-insulated Educrat.

If you're looking for a prime example of Zero Tolerance Zombie myopia, you're in luck, because I have one. It takes place in the Delaware Valley School system (Pennsylvania). In addition to the relevant Educrats, this ZTZ adventure also features a young scholar whom I'll call Moonbeam - a 12 year old wenchlet who is the daughter of Glenn and Kathy Kiederer.

The fun hit high gear, when Moonbeam decided to join the school scrapbooking club. No harm, no foul? Perhaps, but, before Moonbeam could get down with some serious cut and paste action, there was a ZTZ hurdle to surmount. She needed mom and dad to sign a consent form. What kind of consent form was it? It was a consent form that allowed the school to administer a urine test for drugs, after which Moonbeam would be subjected to random drug tests. A DRUG TEST for the SCRAPBOOK CLUB? Seriously? Wow!

The policy requires some students — those who participate in extracurricular activities or who drive to school — to submit to a mandatory initial drug and alcohol test. Those students must then submit to random testing throughout the year. (Pocono Record)

That header into ZTZ happened two years ago, but it's not ancient history, because Moonbeam's parents - aided and abetted by the ACLU - are finally getting their day in court. If this case goes like the last one (2003) the Pennsylvania court system, will once again rule against the school system. Perhaps, this time, the parents in question will hang in there and force the school to justify their policy, by showing a higher rate of drug use for students who participate in extracurricular activities, and/or students with parking passes.

A drug test for the scrapbook club? That's in the running for ZTZ of the Century.

Strings Attached
Source: PIG News Wire [06/18/11]

One of the fun, underappreciated, facts about Uncle Sam's largesse, is this: every dollar he dispenses comes with strings attached. That fact of life, reared its ugly head at a Bay State cess-school - Memorial Middle School in Fitchburg, Mass. - thanks to a federal grant from the Centers for Disease Control, which is administered by LUK, Inc., a Bay State social services agency.

The 'strings' in this case involve a harmless sounding goodie: a youth risk behavior study. What's that? It's a survey which is loaded with graphic questions about each cess-school inmate's sexual practices. It is, outraged parents complain, much too graphic for middle school-aged inmates.

Apparently, the relevant Educrats at Memorial Middle School agree, because school principal, Fran Thomas, did her best to deflect the blame back to Uncle Sam. The school, she insists, had no choice, because the terms of the grant (strings) required that the triple-X sex survey - which the school did NOT write - be filled out by the cess-school's inmates.

Parting shot: Big Brother is a sex-crazed pervert.

Arkansas Cess-School's Enemies List
Source: PIG News Wire [06/04/11]

The cow squeeze hit the rotating cooling device with a resounding "splat", after the relevant parents saw 'it' on a page in the Russellville Middle School (Arkansas) yearbook. In a heartbeat, the story went viral, eliciting blowback from sea to shining sea. What is 'it'? What indeed.

'It' is a list titled "Top 5 worst people of all time". And who, you ask, is on it? See for yourself: 1) Adolph Hitler; 2) Osama bin Laden; 3) Charles Manson; 4) George W. Bush; 5) Dick "Darth" Cheney. Hmmm. I'm smelling Marxist Moonbattery at work.

How did the Educrats tasked with reviewing the yearbook miss that? Nobody knows. From the Superintendent - Randall Williams - to the teacher appointed as the yearbook sponsor, every Educrat in the Russellville Middle School food chain is pleading ignorance. Nobody at this Arkansas cess-school is ready, willing, or able to answer the obvious questions:

* Who perpetrated this list?
[We the PIGs suspect it has to be a Marxist, because only one of THEM would exclude known mass murderers like Joe Stalin and Chairman Mao from this list.]

* What is such a list doing in a school yearbook?

How, you ask, did the school administration respond to this bull crap? Instead of impounding all the yearbooks and order a 'reprint' without the list, they covered the list with a piece of tape. With that 'settled', they're 'reviewing' the yearbook editing process. In other words, they're stonewalling outraged sovereign individuals, and waiting for the blowback to run its course.

I'd like to tell you I'm shocked, but I can't . This crap is what you can expect, after putting America hating, Marxist Moonbats in charge of government cess-schools for more than 4 decades. Those clucking, Commie, chickens are coming home to roost.

Educrap Trifecta

A School Snack From Hell
In the 'bad' old days, before Fat Nazi's goose-stepped into government cess-school cafeterias from sea to shining sea, grade school tykes could look forward to a milk and cookies snack. Those days are long gone, and they're not likely to return with America's government in ENEMY hands. Instead of milk and cookies, the schools - per a federal decree - hand out 'healthy' fruit and veggie snacks. So what? So 'veggie' covers a lot of territory, and therein lies a tale.

The scene of this Nanny State assault on tyke taste buds is - appropriately enough - Southeast's Turner Elementary in Washington, D.C. According to the designated food provider for the D.C. cess-schools, the snack would consist of - UGH, ICK, YUCK, GAG - zucchini slices. As vile as that sounds, it's nutritional nirvana, compared to this:

When Trevor Rill picked up the snack bags from the cafeteria for his third-grade class, he found bundles of raw scallions -- those long, green stalks of onion usually reserved for cooking.

"I asked the cafeteria workers, 'Are you serious?' and they said, 'This is what they sent us,'" said Rill, one of nine City Year corps members assigned to Turner. "So I held them out and said, 'This is what we have,' and the kids went nuts. Two of them ate it in front of me and said, 'This is disgusting.'" (Washington Examiner)

"This is what they sent us"? If you still think there's intelligent life in a government cess-school cafeteria, get over it. This incident drives a stake through the heart of that urban myth.

Korrecting The Curriculum in Oakland (Mexifornia)
The Educrats who infest Oakland's Rosewood Heights Elementary School reached a stunning new low, this week, with an outburst of jaw-dropping cess-school Korrectness. Hurling the 3-Rs under the school bus, they cleared the way for a one-hour class on - TA DA - GENDER DIVERSITY.

No wonder Little Johnny can't read. It also explains why Moonbeam sucks at math. They were too busy learning about 'all-girl geckos and transgender clownfish'. Leaving nothing to chance, the Rosewood Korrectniks will reinforce their gender diversity brainwashing with lesson plans tailored to each grade/age group.

The school also teaches students about the variety of families at the school and takes on the issue of bullying. "If we don't have a safe, nurturing class environment, it's going to be hard to learn. Really, the message behind this curriculum is there are different ways to be boys. There are different ways to be girls."

So, fourth- and fifth-grade students learned about the crazy world of gender within the animal kingdom with lessons about single-sex Hawaiian geckos, fish that switch genders and boy snakes that act "girly."

"That's a lot of variation in nature," Gender Spectrum trainer, Joel Baum, told the students. "Evolution comes up with some pretty funny ways for animals to reproduce."

And that same kind of diversity applies to people too, said Baum, the education director for the San Leandro nonprofit. For example, some boys can act like girls; some girls can have boy body parts; and some biological boys feel like a girl inside their hearts, he said. "It turns out that there are not just two options," he said (SF Gate)

I have a hot flash for brainwasher Joel, and all the other Moonbats who are perpetrating this farce. Humans - a label which technically includes these Moonbats - are sorted, by nature, into one of two categories. There are humans with poles and there are humans with holes. Is there anything else you want to know about gender diversity? I didn't think so, and it didn't take an hour to get 'er done.

Parting shot: I don't give a rip what these Oakland Moonbats call it. Their foray into 'gender diversity' is NOT education. It's indoctrination.

Getting Too Real
Our hero's name is Robert C. Cirba, and his claim to fame involves being a member of the Spencer-East Brookfield Regional School Committee (Massachusetts). He's also a man who doesn't pull his punches, and therein lies a tale.

It happened, while the school district was negotiating with the Spencer-East Brookfield Teachers Association. Although Robert wasn't a member of the subcommittee appointed to negotiate with the union, he knew enough about the proceedings to have an opinion about it. Eager to sound off, Robert posted his views on the labor negotiations on his personal blog: Spencer Coffee Club. He punctuated his critique, by hurling some rhetorical chin music at teachers' union president, Mark James and his union: "[they can] kiss my white Irish ass". Relentlessly colorful? Yup. No harm, no foul? Hardly.

In record time, union punk James was thrilling everyone with his deafening din. Did anyone listen? Oh, hell yes. The most damaging response came from the Bay State's Department of Labor Relations, which vilified Robert's freedom of speech exercise as 'interfering with teacher negotiations'. That, apparently sealed Robert's fate, forcing him to resign his post on the school committee.

If the union thinks they've seen the last of Robert, they need to get over it.

Yesterday, Mr. Cirba said he'll continue to blog, will attend every school committee meeting and will write about school issues.

"I'm going to go after them hard now," he said of the teachers' union. "This is what they do, they harass and intimidate."

He said that by staying on the school committee he would have to give up his first amendment rights to free speech and he was not willing to do that. (Telegram & Gazette)

Give the bastards hell, Robert.

Flag Burning Fizzles
Source: PIG News Wire [05/21/11]

This flaming flag adventure started with a Louisiana State University student who stole an American flag from the Ivory Tower and burned it. After the asshat was arrested, another Louisana State University inmate, Benjamin Haas - he's a graduate student in communications studies - decided to protest the flag burner's arrest by torching his own Old Glory.

Determined to maximize the impact of his protest, Ben spread the news far and wide. He seems to be the only one who didn't anticipate the level of blowback which ensued, thanks to the counter-protest organized by LSU's student government President, Cody Wells.

The Blaze reported the confrontation this way:

Ben Haas did not burn the flag. There were hundreds of students, veterans, and other patriotic Americans in free speech alley where a heated debate was taking place between a few vets, and a female student. We couldn't hear what was being said, though. [...]

Suddenly, a student yelled, "Hey there's Ben Haas and he's talking to the cameras!" Everyone ran to the parade grounds, and surrounded him while chanting many different things: "U.S.A.," "Love it or leave it!," and "Geaux to Hell Hippie, Geaux to Hell!" This last chant is a play on a cheer said during LSU vs. Ole Miss games.

While Ben was speaking to the news camera's people in the crowd started to throw water bottles, water balloons, etc. at him. The mounted police officers had to escort him away across the parade grounds, and into a police car that was waiting in the middle of a very busy road through campus. The whole time the crowd was following him chanting various things, and they even surrounded the police car until the mounted officers cleared a path.

"He was taken away for his safety," Baham makes clear, adding that "there were some very angry military vets there, both young and old."

By all reports, the in his face blowback scared the crap out of Ben. Freedom of speech is messy that way.

Old Glory Uncool For School
Source: PIG News Wire [05/14/11]

A budding young artist - 11-year-old Frankie Girard - did a header into Moonbat intransigence, this week, during an art class at Butterfield Elementary School in Orange, Massachusetts. The drama started, innocently enough, when Frankie dashed off a drawing of Old Glory. No harm, no foul? Not exactly.

Frankie's dad, John, explains the ensuing events, this way:

"He was denied hanging the flag up. And, he asked if he could just even hang it on his desk, and he was told no. He could take the picture that he drew and take it home and be proud of it there," Girard said...

According to his father, the teacher told Frankie that his drawing of the American Flag would offend one of his classmates. "We're allowing him to display his civil rights and be proud of who he is, but we're denying Franklin those same rights," Girard said.

When last seen, Frankie's drawing had a place of honor in the family home. Is that the end of the matter? I doubt it, because, Papa John Girard is making noises about the teacher violating Frankie's civil rights. I'm smelling a shyster assault on this Bay State cess-school. Stay tuned.

Big Brother Spotted In Mexas
Source: Steaming Loads [05/14/11]

Borrowing a page, several of them, from George Orwell's '1984', some Mexas Food Nazis are promoting "Big Brother Is Watching" from hyperbole to the lofty realm of 'HOLY CRAP'! How? You're going to be thrilled.

With $2 million dollars of OUR money burning a hole in his pocket, Uncle Sam laundered it through a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant, which landed with a resounding THUD, in San Antonio, Mexas. Fronted by a San Antonio-based Food Nazi cabal - Social & Health Research Center - Uncle Sam will deploy a high tech camera system in the lunch rooms of five of San Antonio's elementary cess-schools.

Why is he using the spy cams? Because, Big Brother wants to watch Moonbeam and Little Johnny, while they go through their lunchroom paces. The all seeing cameras will let Food Nazis tabulate what the tykes pile on their plates, make note of what they actually eat, then talley all items slated for the trash can.

Here's how they plan to get 'er done:

Here's how it works: Students are assigned lunch trays with a unique bar code. After the children load up their plates down the line - mashed potatoes or green beans? french fries or fruit? - a camera above the cashier takes a picture of each tray.

When lunch is over and the kids return their plates to the kitchen, another camera takes a snapshot of what's left on the tray. Software then analyzes the before and after photos to calculate calories consumed and, said Dr. Trevino, a report of nutrients in the foods. (Washington Times)

And so it begins. It's a couple decades after Orwell's infamous '1984', but this is right out of Big Brother's playbook. Admittedly, this opening, Big Brother, move appears harmless, but that's the way this kind of crap always starts. The next set of Big Brother 'eyes' might be equally benign, but that's par for the course, too. Unless we're vigilant, We the People will do nothing, while Big Brother's eyes spread an increment at a time, until the day we wake the f**k up in a full blown, Orwellian, '1984' America.

We the PIGs are singularly unamused, by this Orwellian butt bullet which has no place in this land conceived in liberty. FLUSH IT? You better believe it, Sparky.

Morality Nazis Set Hair On Fire In Middleburg
Source: Daily Mail [05/01/11]

Some Middleburg (Pennsylvania) Morality Nazis had a hissy fit, this week, over the bodice-ripping, 'racy', 'erotic', novels written by Judy Mays. I know what you're thinking, and you're wrong. So far, nobody has tried to bring such Mays' titles as 'A Breath of Heat', 'Undercover Heat' or 'Rednecks 'N' Romance' into the classroom.

What has these pious pinheads in a lather is the fact that the author of these books has been teaching English at Midd West high School for almost a quarter of a century. Her day job name is Judy Buranich; she's a disarmingly dowdy looking woman whose 'mild mannered' demeanor doesn't match the fiery passion in her off-duty prose. The fact that this English teacher writes racy prose in her spare time strikes me as none of the school district's business. No harm, no foul, sums it up perfectly. Unhappily, some holier than thou Morality Nazis have their pious panties wadded up over it.

The most smugly self-righteous Morality Nazi is a pious Pennsylvania pinhead, Wendy Apple, whose son is a 10th grader at Midd West High. This sanctimonious screamer is utterly deranged over Judy Buranich's adventure in fiction writing.

"Now my son knows, so how is he thinking when he's sitting in her class knowing what she does on the side....I thought she was a top-of-the-line teacher...It's unethical, totally unacceptable. Period. It just sort of sickens and saddens me to know everybody's sort of looking at this like, hey, this is OK...."

Equally deranged by Judy Buranich's prose, another parent - she's a Wendy Apple class Morality Nazi named Deanna Stepp - spews this demented drivel:

"She is teaching children that are under the age of 18 and definitely the books that she is writing are adult books. I think she needs to make a decision as to what she wants to do. Either be a school teacher or author."

Deanna needs to pull her head out of her ass. Yes, novelist Judy writes racy prose which targets an adult audience. So what? Teacher Judy doesn't use that prose, in any way, in her English class. You're dealing with apples and oranges, because her novels and her teaching never coexist in her classroom.

Instead of demanding that Judy choose between her off duty writing and her on duty teaching, these Morality Nazis should STFU and be glad that a successful, published, writer is teaching Moonbeam and Little Johnny how write a sentence, a paragraph and an essay. By any standard, Judy knows her stuff, when it comes to prose and she's obviously, able to instill the requisite knowledge in her students.

And what, you ask, does Judy have to say about this? In her English teacher identity, Judy is keeping her mouth shut. Instead, she's letting her writer identity, Judy Mays do the talking on a Facebook page: "The world is full of idiots." Truer words, PIGsters. Truer words.

Feminazi Egghead Snaps
Source: PIG News Wire [04/22/11]

This knicker knotting NO-NAD outburst was spawned by an utterly PIGish scheme which was planned - and executed - by the University of Iowa College Republicans. After clearing all the Ivory Tower hurdles, they sent out an email, to 'the entire University of Iowa Community' which proclaimed their forthcoming "Conservative Coming Out Week". Who could possibly object to THAT? Who indeed.

Ellen Lewin, a professor of Anthropology and Gender, Women's & Sexuality Studies in the Department of Gender, Women's & Sexuality Studies, sent a 'vulgar' response to a College Republican email about the group's, "Conservative Coming Out Week."

What vulgar response did she send via her official Ivory Tower email account? This vulgar response: "FUCK YOU, REPUBLICANS". Big fun, and it gets better, because, the College Republicans have a thin-skinned wench of their own.

Her name is Natalie Ginty, a University of Iowa Student and Chairwoman of the Iowa Federation of College Republicans. She's got her panties in a wad, too, and wants an apology from the NO-NAD'supervisors:

"We understand that as a faculty member she has the right to express her political opinion, but by leaving her credentials at the bottom of the email she was representing the University of Iowa, not herself alone. Vile responses like Ellen's need to end. Demonizing the other party through name-calling only further entrenches feelings of disdain for the other side. I am sure you understand that nothing is ever accomplished by aimless screams of attack." (Iowa Republican)

Natalie, darlin, you need to chill out. The whole purpose behind something like "Conservative Coming Out Week" is to elicit a memorable response from one or more Moonbats. This Womyn's Studies wench, Lewin, gave it to you, in SPADES. You need to stop bitching and count your blessings, because responses like Ellen Lewin's don't come along every day.

Fashion Statement
Source: PIG News Wire [04/22/11]

The height of fashion hilarity hit its stride on a Friday, when an inmate of Riverview High School (Flori-DAH) showed up at school wearing high heels. Despite the fact that it didn't violate the school's dress code, this fashion statement elicited an hostile response from an assistant principal. Why? Oh, did I forget to mention that the inmate in question is - TA DA - a dude?

His fashion statement was deemed 'hazardous to his own well being', and 'disruptive',by school administrators, but others viewed it in a different light. Yes, the cess-school administrators might not have appreciated the dude's fashion statement, but at least one of his schoolmates is on his side:

"It also says you're not supposed to be discriminated against by race, sexuality or religion. If girls can wear heels, why can't boys wear heels?" 11th grader Morgan Rodgers says about the dress code policy.

Rodgers says the student has a right to express his sexuality...Rodgers says school administrators should have left the student alone."By pulling him out of class, I feel it caused more of a distraction than him actually wearing the heels."

To show their support, some students made tags for classmates to wear. One tag says "support diversity" and they didn't stop there. "We have a very accepting population at our school," says Rodgers, adding, "I feel it might have been more a representation of teacher opinion of those students by wearing them, rather than a safety issue."

Rodgers and her friends set up a theme week. On Monday everyone would wear heels, Tuesday cross dress and on Wednesday girls wear blue and boys pink. (WTSP)

If you think a dude wearing high heels is something, get ready to be thrilled: as part of Morgan Rogers' 'theme week', one dude arrived at school wearing his girlfriend's dress. Weird? You bet? Deal breaker weird? It's too close to call.

On the Windy City's West Side, the inmates at Little Village Academy are condemned to nutritional hell, by the Food Nazi who sits in the principal's office, Elsa Carmona. Food Nazi Elsa condemned her school's inmates to the lunch room circle of hell, 6 years ago, because she didn't approve of the kind of food, the young scholars packed in their lunch boxes. That, at least is her story, but I suspect there's more going on here than a rampaging Food Nazi bitch in a position of Educrap authority.

I think Food Nazi Elsa is using this 'improving student nutrition' crap as a smoke screen. I think her real motive is the federal $ubsidy which pays a school district for each free, or reduced price, lunch served in a school cafeteria. Food Nazi Elsa might - there's no indication that she has - get paid, under the table, by Chartwells-Thompson, the firm which has a monopoly on food service in the district.

If the name Chartwells-Thompson sounds familiar, give yourself a cookie. They are the food wranglers whose lunches were vilified by the young scholars who are condemned to choke it down. It's vile, they said, and unfit for human consumption. That's why the young scholars who are forced to partake, end up throwing most of it in the garbage. Vile or not, it's the only game in town at Food Nazi Elsa's cess-school.

Parting shot: If Food Nazi Elsa really gives a crap about student nutrition, she would use her position to make Chartwells-Thompson improve their product. Since they get paid for each lunch served, the best way to put pressure on these swill serving asshats would involve letting students bring their own lunches. Of course, none of this is likely to happen, as long as Food Nazi Elsa has her head shoved so far up her own ass.

Food Nazi Killjoys Target Tyke Favorite

From sea to shining sea, Food Nazis are painting a bull's-eye on one of the few things served up by a cess-school cafeteria that delights the tyke palate. In some cases, it is being banned outright. In other instances, lab coated hooligans are tinkering with perfection. That's right, PIGsters, Food Nazis are waging war against chocolate flavored milk.

The Food Nazis, and some cess-school officials, agree that this tyke favorite contains too much sugar. They do not agree on what should be done about it. When you cut through all the crap, you get down to two choices. You can ban chocolate milk. Or, you can retweek the formula to reduce the sugar content. No matter which way they go, they risk blowback from Little Johnny and Moonbeam, who take their chocolate milk seriously.

At the center of these battles are complex public health calculations: Is it better to remove sugary chocolate flavorings at the risk that many students will skip milk altogether, missing out on crucial calcium and Vitamin D? Or should schools instead make tweaks — less fat, different sweeteners, fewer calories — that might salvage the benefits while minimizing the downside?

However schools answer these questions, protest inevitably follows. When Fairfax County and D.C. schools banned chocolate milk last year from elementary lunch lines, officials heard not just from parents and students. They also received letters and petitions from a slew of nutritionists and influential special interest groups.

Most accused the districts of acting rashly, robbing students of a tasty drink and the vitamins and minerals that fuel bone and muscle growth. "We got 10 to 20 e-mails a day," said Penny McConnell, director of food and nutrition services for Fairfax. "It was a lot of pressure."

This month — and partly because of that pressure — Fairfax officials announced that they would reintroduce chocolate milk in school cafeterias. The newer, low-fat version includes sucrose, which is made from sugar cane or beets, instead of high-fructose corn syrup, which some critics say is more heavily processed and, as a result, less healthy.

Egged on by Food Nazis and other buttinskis, school officials are caught between a rock and a hard place. Why? The facts speak for themselves:

* When chocolate milk is banned outright, you get more than a lot of pissed off tykes. You also get a 37% decline in milk consumption.

* When a reformulated chocolate milk is served, it contains 'too much' sugar and calories, so you'll be hearing from hard core Food Nazis. The upside - if you keep your tinkering under control - is that you can reduce the sugar somewhat, and still get your young milk gourmets the calcium and Vitamin D they need.

A reformulated chocolate milk appears to be the best choice, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the Food Nazis to advocate anything that rational. For them, it's invariably "you can volunteer to do what I want, or I'll use my Nanny State connections to coerce you into compliance.

Snooki Visits Rutgers

A New Jersey Legicrat - State Senator Joe Kryillos - has his knickers in a twist, over a recent pay-for-play guest at the state university of New Jersey, Rutgers. In fact, he's so pissed off over one particular, pay-for-play guest that he wants something done about the way Rutgers uses mandatory student activity fees.

I'm guessing that State Senator Joe isn't kicking up a fuss over paying a Nobel prize winning novelist, Toni Morrison, $30,000 to perpetrate a commencement address. State Senator Joe is, however, not thrilled spitless that Rutgers paid $32,000 to none other than Snooki for a personal appearance, last week.

I sympathize with State Senator Joe, up to a point. It does seem to be a waste of money, until you step back and take a look at the big picture. The inconvenient truth is that there many other women of Toni Morrison's caliber. They're not 'a dime a dozen', but they're hardly an endangered species. On the other hand, I defy State Senator Joe to find another Snooki. She's a rare breed, and, like it or not, that makes her worth more in the pay-for-play marketplace.
