Ohio student suspended for staying in class during National Walkout Day
Hmmmm.. kid decides to say screw the whole political BS being foisted on everyone by the loons, and stays in class (gee, isn't that where they are supposed to be?) and does not participate in school sponsored, taxpayer funded "wlakout" (really should be called "walkabout" as they were obviousy sponsored by the teacher who abandoned student and locked door). Gee, has the so called "education establishment played this whole fiddle for their own ends? Are our supposed "caring educators" actually using this to attack the Presisdent and government because their candidate didnot get elected? Why is a kid who actually WENT to school suspended, yet the entire frigging school NOT SUSPENDED, for missing class?

They don't want to discuss anything.
I want to know if the school got their funding for that day from the government, or if it was counted as a "snow day"? If the teachers should have been in the classroom, then the boy should have been aloud to be there. At least locally, when religious ed is offered, those who go to that off grounds, recognize those who do not, have a right to go to a specified study hall. Ut was bit supervised to allow all those kids to walk out, and miss yet another day of what little education they get these days. I think the school system should be sued over this attempt to force political views on students, like some Russian classroom.
We know Soros is funding gun opposition, maybe this is Russian collusion as well!
And that’s a good reason why their bigoted ideology continues to spread rapidly. To them, you self censoring yourself is a big win.
Same situation, I can drive through snow / sleet / deep-snow in the mountains without even blinking - so why should I troll behind their stupid-ass with their chains on the mustang & whatever? Shouldn't I just be able to hit the air-lift on the suspension and drive over the top of them because they are going far slower than the posted speed limit?
Speeding isn't a victimless crime - if everyone was driving whatever they wanted to - we would have far more traffic deaths. We restrict semi trucks to 55 here in California, no matter the posted limit, our semi-truck involved accidents are far-lower than the national norm, and jackknifes are almost unheard of.
I am hearing more use of the word "nigger" since Obama got elected. I remember when I was a kid, "nigger" in north carolina referred to black people who were really considered some sort of inferior human being. I never thought of blacks as inferior, they just have black skin.
Now, I have become a "culturist", and do discrimminate against certain cultures, hip-hop "entitled " black cultures being one of them. Another culture I dont like is white "entitled" people, especially females who think just because they have children, they are entitled to be taken care of.
Cops, particularly traffic and drug stops are enforcing victimless crimes which I dont even think should be crimes. There needs to be a victim in my view before there can be a crime.
If a cop told me- "look, I am paid to do a job so I can feed my family, so I have to give you this victimless crime citation that I may not even agree with. You have a shot to get it thrown out in court if you want to go through the hassle, but I didnt pass the law" - I would respect the cop more than I do now.
Cops hardly ever prevent crime, they just investigate it and assess blame later. I am not sure that really is what I want as a citizen. No wonder so many people have guns. They dont trust the legal system here to protect them from crime. Far more effective to protect yourself at the time the crime is about to occur.
Beware of stepping in to apprehend the mugger beating up the old lady. You'll suddenly find yourself locked up.
I won't even mention how you can be called a racist for having the wrong color of skin.
Building consensus isn't part of their job description, they are there to resolve disputes - in a major city - that is probably within the 18-25 minutes allowed per call, as they really only go from one call to the next.
As I said... protesting people asked to do a very difficult job doesn't solve the problem - when not chipping in something to help.
The show you are talking about on Netflix... those are not police officers, those are recovery agents - private contractors hired by their finance companies. They wear a uniform-looking thing, and can get assistance from police if it's hostile, but they are basically the same as the repo-guy here.
I think the function of the police in disputes is basically to convince the parties that violent resolution can’t be tolerated and to get them to use courts or talking it out to settle things
I have recently watch on Netflix. “If you can’t pay, we take it away”. They do repossessions and evictions in England Their people deal with very upsetting scenarios but do it in a very good way. I wish our police could learn their approach
I'm not a police officer. My only comparable experience was a few months of patrols in Rwanda, Kosovo, and Mogidishu when I was in the Air Force in the 90's. It's extremely tense when you come up on two people in the middle of a dispute, you have no idea which one is the aggressor or the victim, or if both are aggressors, or domestic, or what the case is. I have a lot of sympathy for the officers, we basically outsource our mental illness 'response' to the police in this country, they don't have the education or expertise to deal with it, we punish them when they misjudge a situation, and certain communities punish/blame/protest their actions while rarely or never doing anything in the way of volunteering to solve the problems.
For each of those cases - did any of the parents encourage the kids to be a policeman, firefighter, or doctor when they grew up? Did they do anything to point the kids in that direction? This is really about not only the degradation, but the complete failure of family structure in America. What we really need to do is stop blaming AR-15's, police, or any other inanimate object or societal norm when there isn't a father "in the picture". No dad? No blame.
We all remember the routine - particularly with Ferguson.. The kid was at first an aspiring track star and on his way to college. Whoops, he's 330 lbs.. no track star future. Whoops.. he may not have really been going to college. Whoops.. he may not have been just kicking it with his friends on the porch... well, maybe he just stole the beer and pretzels he was eating, but that was a misunderstanding. Video of him committing robbery? What robbery? Oh damn, the police officer was found innocent by a mixed-race jury - now time to burn the city to the ground in "protest".
Ok, so here's the problem with that approach - by the time the 3rd, 4th or 5th lie comes out, no one wants to listen to it, or give a damn anymore. Honestly, by the time the second lie came out, I was done. Why not just state the facts? He was walking down the street (or fleeing the store), he was a suspect and the officer had probably cause to stop him and detain him - but he had no reasonable cause to escalate the situation further. If the kid was trying to get away, let him go - call for backup, follow him with the police car. I don't know what happened, if the kid tried to go for the officer's weapon, the outcome was valid - but we'll never really know the truth because we crucify officers for making a bad decision when they have a ¼ of a second to do so. If they make a mistake in that ¼ second, we imprison them for life. We ask them to keep the peace, and keep our society intact. Rarely do we acknowledge how hard that is to do.
What I do know is that when the arguments always start with a lie, they are not getting their point made, they are just deteriorating what others think of their group and their position on issues.
Different schools have different policies. My school was pretty firm on it, although the teacher was perfectly happy letting me work on the project by myself he wasn't allowed to.
If the school was sponsoring this event; then, the teachers were required to be in the crowd monitoring the whole thing. Therefore, as the child would be unmonitored the school would have a problem with his actions.
The question is, why would the school be sponsoring this? This is where the parents should get a lawyer and make them explain why they would support this. Of course the school can argue that as this was a widely publicized occurrence. That it was less disruptive to the educational process to go along with it, as opposed to resisting the whole thing.
Which is were the lawyer should step in an say that they are trampling this child's 1st Amendment rights by punishing him for not participating.
He was teaching things far beyond math.
For example, in Ferguson, for days/weeks the media "omitted" the young man had just strong-arm-robbed a convenience store, they wanted "innocent and minding his own business". Trayvon Martin - the only photo they had of him was a 12-year old class picture, even though many recent ones were available on his Facebook page, the narrative was "young defenseless child walking to get a soda-pop" (but had recently been arrested for possession of stolen goods (jewelry) from Miami-Dade and that is why he was moved to live with dad).
Lest we also forget their targeting and ambush of police officers in Dallas.
My personal viewpoint, while I don't agree or condone the use of deadly force by police in many cases, that can also be minimized by not doing things that invite negative police contact. I also have a very hard time taking a stand one way or another when media portrayals of a case are missing key facts. Most people make it through life without 30 or 40 or 50 arrests. If you do have regular contact with police, the odds of a misunderstanding exploding into an incident obviously go up enormously.
Everyone is offered an education for free, it's a key to get out of the hood, change life's circumstances, etc. Some embrace it while many others are either too lazy for the long-road or prefer the 'cool' image of being a dumb-ass. Ultimately, everyone has an opportunity given to them at enormous cost to the taxpayers, and many choose to flush it down the drain (white or black).
