wltx.com | Substitute Teacher Undresses in Front of Class

Macon, GA (WMAZ) - A substitute teacher was kicked out of a Macon area school Wednesday morning for partially undressing in front of students.

The teacher undressed in a fourth-grade classroom. Assistant school superintendent Sylvia McGee said the woman disrobed below the waist.

The principal, Dr. Ramon Johnson, says the substitute teacher was non-responsive to direct questions and was removed immediately from the campus.

In a letter sent home to parents, Johnson wrote, during the incident, the school was placed in a code-red lockdown.

Students and teachers were required to go to the nearest room, lock the doors, and cover the windows.

Ok, I’m not saying it’s right or wrong to do this, but CODE RED lockdown for someone getting paritally undressed?!?!  WTF?!?

 Ok, if she was unresponsive and started going berserk I could see that, but this.  Some of these school policies are a bit ridiculous, like this one

kdka.com - Waynesburg Central High School Students Suspended After Making PSA

 Two students at Waynesburg Central High School have been suspended for 10 days because of the way they depicted an activity they were trying to discourage.

John DiBuono and his classmate made a public service announcement for a TV workshop. They used crushed Smarties candies. In the video, his friend pretended to snort cocaine. It was supposed to be a message against using drugs.

In a statement, the Jerome Bartley, superintendent of the Central Greene School District, said: “Although the individuals involved were not using illicit drugs, the district’s policy prohibits look-a-like drugs, substances, liquids or devices.”

Just get your kids out, if you can.

Get Kids Vaccinated Or Else, Parents Told - washingtonpost.com

“We can do this the easy way or the hard way, but it’s got to get done,” Prince George’s State’s Attorney Glenn F. Ivey (D) said at a news conference in Upper Marlboro. “I’m willing to move forward with legal action.”

I hope at least some of the parents tell these idiots where to shove it.  This kind of bullying is just ridiculous.  It is not for the state to raise my children for me, and tell me what I have to have done to or for them.  You wait, the next thing they will try to make mandatory is the HPV vaccine.
