Claasroom nincompoops, or worse

Is American public education a form of child abuse?
Of course, and on many levels.

Arrest that man!
~ Randy Castro, attends school in Woodbridge, Va. Last November at recess he slapped a classmate on her bottom. The teacher took him to the principal. School officials wrote up an incident report and then called the police.Randy Castro is in the first grade. But, at the ripe old age of 6, he's been declared a sex offender by Potomac View Elementary School.

~ By the way, is that the first recorded use in the history of the English language of the phrase "accused a 4-year-old of sexual harassment"? Well, it won't be the last: In the state of Maryland last year, 16 kindergartners were suspended for sexual harassment, as were three preschoolers.

School officials declined to comment to the Washington Post on Master Castro's case on the grounds of student confidentiality. However, they did say that the decision to call the cops was "the result of a misunderstanding." And it's not like he was Tasered or anything. link
Like Mark Steyn,  I've accused educators of child abuse, but for opting to indoctrinate over educate in the classroom.  Between us, we got 'em all.

Let's not forget the prominent role played by cocksucking scumbag lawyers everywhere who will happily sue school systems on behalf of parents over the slightest perceived injustice.

A sense of proportion goes out the window fast when the cost of defending even a bullshit lawsuit can run into six figures for a school district, and losing a lawsuit thanks to dimwit judges and juries can bankrupt it.

So let's hear a big 'fuck you' to litigators too, always ready to pounce, as we bid farewell to common sense judgement in public schools. DD

So... when do we declare State Sponsored Education a "free fire zone" and fix this troublesome problem?

It already is.

Public schools are victim-disarmament zones by statute, which means nutters have a free fire zone and nearly unlimited victims to shoot.
