Mother says son was suspended for calling teacher ‘cute'

Then:
9-Year-Old’s Suspension For Calling Teacher ‘Cute’ Overturned, Principal Resigns
12/07/2011
So, "a seven nine-year-old boy" CAN'T "be thrown out of suspended for two days from school for saying his teacher (or a little female classmate) is 'cute'," anyone that tries is forced to resign.
A dumb thing happened, mom complained, an investigation was immediately launched, the dumb thing was rescinded and severe, arguably extreme, consequences were imposed, all in less than a week. I don't know about "geniuses", but the folks running Gaston County Schools certainly weren't "idiots."
Point cowered from.
The original compiler of this list appears to be Fritz Edmunds, who posted it to his “Politically True” blog back on 3 February 2013
14 months after the incident he lied about it. Do you think there might be an intentionally deceptive anti-school/anti-diversity agenda here? Still successful 5 1/2 years later.
Point cowered from.
Maybe I've watched too many crime dramas over the decades, but in all of them - good cops to horrible ones - they all seem to know to investigate further when something seems patently outrageous. I guess that's just unrealistic Hollywood, right Leo Lyons? Or, is it not that you somehow found the original story but somehow didn't see the followup that popped up for me right away? Hmmm.
Point and questions cowered from.
Anyhow, all this reminds me of:
Liberals Don’t Share or Believe Fake News As Much As Right-Wingers, Study Finds (article)
Polarization, Partisanship and Junk News Consumption over Social Media in the US (study)
Fritz Edmunds knows his audience.
Aside: "Chiquita Lockett"
Got it, my noticing that you swallowed lies about our schools, shared the lies, featured the lies again, were too lazy, inept and/or dishonest to do uber-simple research on the lies, and then went out of your way to defend the lies with only part of the story somehow makes me the "uber-asshole". Sheeesh, what a brittle ego you have when you screw up, snowflake. So, what's the new whiny label going to be for my now noticing that you have cowered from all of this?Leo Lyons wrote: ↑Sat Aug 18, 2018 2:35 pmWow Captain Genius, what part of " (the boy was 9, not 7)" did you miss?
Wow, Agent Genius, what part of, "The original compiler of this list appears to be Fritz Edmunds (at least the 3rd time that I've mentioned it)," did you miss?
Don't be such a defensive and delicate crybaby. We can all see that you acknowledged the age flub (and only the age flub) and we all know that it's Fritz Edmunds' sentence, not yours. I couldn't very well correct the 4 other lies/omissions/errors he wrote/shared 14 months after the incident without also correcting that one.Point cowered from.Vrede too wrote:I've learned with certain people to double check whenever no link nor source is provided.
Should have read:
"I've learned with certain people to double check whenever no link nor source is provided;
then I can prove myself to be the "uber"-asshole that everyone already knows I am." You own it! :violent:
The moral of the story is: People CAN make this shit up.
