A 10-year-old Hilton Head Island boy has been suspended from school for having something most students carry in their supply boxes: a pencil sharpener.So they called the cops. They filled out a police report. They suspended him. And best of all:
The problem was his sharpener had broken, but he decided to use it anyway.
The boy -- a fourth-grader described as a well-behaved and good student -- cried during the meeting with his mom, the deputy and the school's assistant principal.HA! They broke him! That has to be done first, before the rebuilding can be done, you know.
They couldn't just throw it away, offer him use of one of their pencil sharpeners, and send him home with a note to his mom saying he needed a new one?
District spokesman Randy Wall said school administrators are stuck in the precarious position between the district's zero tolerance policy against having weapons at school and common sense.Bullshit, Randy. There was no "common sense" applied here. There was nothing "precarious" about this, nothing "reasonable." If you maintain otherwise, you're just an ass-covering liar, an enabler of insidious evil, and a punk.
"We're always going to do something to make sure the child understands the seriousness of having something that could potentially harm another student, but we're going to be reasonable," he said.
"The school year has begun with zest!" exclaims Principal Jill McAden, who thought the hysteria also warranted a warning letter to inmate-in-training parents.
I'll say.
I did some checking on this school. It's "mission statement":
To ensure excellence in education for every learner that prepares each with the knowledge, skills and personal responsibility to succeed in a rapidly changing global society.Which of course, means traditional American values are vulgar and regressive. Global values are where it's at. Just add a dash of "tolerance and diversity" (for everything that is approved for collective indoctrination).
One other thing, and I really don't give a damn if this "appears" sexist: the entire school is run by women, and "liberal" ones at that, I think it's safe to assume. In 10 minutes I found only four guys--two phys-ed teachers and a third and fifth grade teacher. It's part of the feminizing boys agenda--make them cry in fear of police authority for having a 3/4" x 1/4" pencil sharpener blade. If that doesn't work, if they still insist on acting out their natures, we can always prescribe psychopharmaceuticals.
And then, when a percentage of them finally snap and go apeshit violent after years of brainwashing, repression and chemical intervention, and when some of those use guns, why we can use that to further justify defanging, declawing and tranquilizing everybody else to fit into the new global order of things. Because you know they'd like all schools to be run like this.
The school, of course, is but a symptom. Primary fault must rest with the parents who allow this to happen, and who then side with the "authorities" instead of defending their young--the true sign that an animal has been domesticated.
Just like with our greater society--the fault lies with every one of us who is not engaged in guarding their own freedom. Thinking someone is going to come along and save us, and do the hard work, take the hits and pay the price for us, is lazy, cowardly and contemptible.
No wonder our masters think they can get away with just about any new outrage their Marxist little minds can dream up.
I am surprised they did not put a bag over his head, flexi-cuff him and send him off to Gitmo to be water boarded. I mean this kid obviously is either a jihadist or a home grown terrorist. And Crayola should also be investigated as it was probably their sharpener..er...I mean weapon of mass destruction!
ReplyDeleteGet for real, do these admins have nothing better to do. I hope the kids parents came in raising hell, but judging from the story it sounds they just baa'd along.
God I can't wait to be a parent in this world. That is when the fun will begin.
We need 4473's, and thirty day cooling off periods on every pencil sharper sold, after all, if it saves just one child... :puke:
ReplyDeleteThere is no common sense to Zero Brain's policies.
If you love your kids you won't send them to public schools.
ReplyDeleteThe student should have been complimented on his resourcefulness, ingenuity & self-sufficience. That pencil needed sharpening & he was getting the job done with what he had. He didn't throw his hands up & cry for someone to help him.
ReplyDeleteI'll not subject my children to this sort of "education".
Here's my e-mail to that idiot principal:
ReplyDeleteWhat you people did to that child over a broken pencil sharpener is absolutely unconscionable! When will all this zero-tolerance (better named zero common sense) foolishness end?
People must be crazy these days to send their children to these government-mandated youth indoctrination camps masquerading as schools!
I shake my head in bewilderment that anyone would so utterly asinine as to call the police because a 10 year old child was sharpening a pencil with a tiny little blade as that. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Perhaps you hysterical liberal morons should seek employment at the TSA. Your skills at "protecting" us all would better utilized striping airline passengers of nail clippers and bottles of mouthwash!
If you love your kids, you won't send them to public schools. Actually, here in Texas, I do send them to public schools, and I'll tell you why. First, they're OUR schools, I helped pay for them, and I sick of this runnin' crap. Second, I counter every stupid thing they learn with the truth, which I send them back with, into the very same school, to spread among their friends, and hurl back at the often times aghast teachers and admin. types. If they'd like me to discuss it more, they have, to their utter regret. Third, why do WE have to be the ones that leave? I'm not playing by their rules or standards and I'm not leaving the field to them. This is MY country, and they can leave. Or they can change their tune and their mind. Mine know their Constitution, their Bill of Rights, they all shoot, and they know a socialist when they see one. If some of you want to teach them at home or private school, fine. But somebody better stay in this fight, and fight it. And in these schools, my kids have allies, who know the score, who know they're being lied to, who know the truth, and have no respect for the liars or their enablers. The stuff is going to hit the fan, allright, and when it does, I and mine will stand up to the facists, because we've had plenty of practice and we know who they are. Sent an e-mail to the principal of that Hilton Head Elementary, congratulating her on running such a fine facist operation, and telling her to check and see if the kid had any Jewish relatives. You never know. III.
ReplyDeleteCorrect, the goal of socialized education is to institutionalize the cattle as young as possible. Welfare, Warfare, or Prison. That's where are rulers want us. Why the hell can't people figure this out.
ReplyDeletesean- It isn't only the socialist/collectivist brainwashing that is the danger in public schools. It is also the Pavlovian training to jump when the bell rings; the barbaric demand that you "hold" your bodily functions until some "authority" tells you you can relieve yourself; the training that they should sit and listen unquestioningly to the "authority" who tells you what to think.
ReplyDeleteI'm not demanding that you take your kids out of the public schools, but just reminging you that there are more issues than are commonly recognized.
Common sense? You have got to be pulling my leg, these liberal mean spirited assholes use common sense.
ReplyDeleteThese people are hard core Marxist at heart and if you think the treatment that this kid received. Just let them disarm the citizens of this country and you ain't seen nothing yet. The death camps will be in over time and there will be no country to come and save the American citizens standing in the lines to the gas chambers.
Oh hell yes, these people are as evil as evil can be.
Kent, hear you loud and clear. I'm also teaching them to hate all that bureaucratic crap and the bell ringing, and so on. I went through it myself, and it was the best teacher. We have no respect for these clowns, none whatever. After the Big Change, it will be different. And if it's not, there are other methods. And mine are learning how to smile, go along with it, and under the surface, it's totally different. Good habits to have while subverting the bullshit from within. Where the Grapes of Wrath are stored. III.
ReplyDeleteThey humiliated that boy for being resourceful and trying to adapt to misfortune. What kind of country will they leave us with?
ReplyDeleteDoes that boy have TEETH? Oooh, dangerous.
Today's lunch: creamed potatoes and applesauce. Pudding for dessert.
Pudding for BRAINS.
There SHOULD be crying, but not by the students.
gunrights, do you have an email addy. I can't seem to use the linked email here.
ReplyDeleteI know it is something I haven't done, but I don't know the answers.
You put your children in the hands of the enemy; are you surprised by the results?

Mr. Wall:
I read the following and I have questions:
A 10-year-old Hilton Head Island boy has been suspended from school for having something most students carry in their supply boxes: a pencil sharpener. The problem was his sharpener had broken, but he decided to use it anyway. So they called the cops. They filled out a police report. They suspended him.

You do know, one hopes, that anything can be used as a weapon? Is it your intent to raise everyone in a hardened steel bubble?
Does your interpretation of the law, and of district regulations, lead you to believe you have no leeway, no authority? If so, why are you still working there?
Have you been told not to counsel and mentor children?
Who besides you is the responsible party?
Why haven’t you fired Principal Jill McAden? The leadership failures exhibited by her, and you, are indicative of why so many students are graduated and still remain uneducated.
With all due respect,
""The pencil sharpener was altered at home and the blade was brought to school. Though students are allowed to bring pencil sharpeners to school,...""
ReplyDeleteIf it was intentionally altered at home into a 'weapon' as they say, one could also be altered at the bus stop, on the bus, in the class, in the bathroom. They must therefore immediately ban all pencil sharpeners and get the pencils also. As a favorite author of mine wrote 'insert sharpened #2 pencil thru eye - stir vigorously.'
I've said this before they 'have' to do this zero tolerance stuff so that certain things aren't noticed about certain segments of society.
""In 10 minutes I found only four guys""
Yep! School and most of society has a massive yeast infection.
SA, here's the principal's email address:

Okay this might sound redundant, but that is CLEARLY just plain fucking evil!
