State seizes 11-year-old, arrests his mother for defending medical marijuana

Posted on by

“A spokesman confirmed that officers had searched Banda’s home, though he denied it was a raid. He also said the initial anti-drug program was put on entirely by the school — the police had no involvement. At that event Banda’s son apparently contradicted some of the claims made about marijuana. The school then contacted the child protection agency. Police officers showed up at Banda’s at home and asked her permission to conduct a search. She refused. They then obtained a warrant and searched her home. The spokesman wouldn’t comment except to say that there was ‘evidence’ of drug activity. Banda was then arrested and her son was seized from the home.”

Middle Schooler Arrested For Changing Teacher’s Desktop Background

Posted on by

“A middle school student who said he was just trying to play a prank on a teacher he didn’t like was charged with a cybercrime Wednesday after authorities said he hacked into his school’s secure computer network.  The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office has charged Domanik Green, an eighth-grader at Paul R. Smith Middle School, with an offense against a computer system and unauthorized access, a felony. Sheriff Chris Nocco said Thursday that Green logged onto the school’s network on March 31 using an administrative-level password without permission. He then changed the background image on a teacher’s computer to one showing two men kissing.”

Fourth-grader suspended after using magic ring from ‘The Hobbit’

Posted on by

“A Kermit parent said his fourth-grade student was suspended Friday for allegedly making a terroristic threat.  His father, Jason Steward, said the family had been to see ‘The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies’ last weekend. His son brought a ring to his class at Kermit Elementary School and told another boy his magic ring could make the boy disappear.  Steward said the principal said threats to another child’s safety would not be tolerated – whether magical or not. Principal Roxanne Greer declined to comment on the matter.”

3 Acts of American Education System Insanity

Posted on by

“A modern historian looking to chronicle the destruction of the America we all once knew could do no better than to deconstruct the U.S. education system today.  Along with providing American students a middling education at best — we rank 17th in the world and well-below-average for developed nations — what’s really wrong with America’s education system is the fact that we’re engineering the next generation to become acclimated to what this country is becoming … And it’s becoming a police state, where tolerance is zero and everyone is presumed guilty. The notion of innocence? To hell with that! This will not end well for you or me, or our children.”

Federal Program Supplies Surplus Military Gear to Schools

Posted on by

“The Los Angeles Unified School District stocked up on grenade launchers, M16 rifles and even a multi-ton armored vehicle from the program.  In Texas, near the Mexican border, the sprawling Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District has 34,700 students and operates its own SWAT team, thanks in part to military gear it received in recent years from the federal program. The gear included two Humvees and a cargo truck, as well as power generators.  The weapons are given to schools through the 1033 Program, created by Congress in the early 1990s to allow law-enforcement agencies to obtain excess Defense Department supplies, paying only for shipping.”

In Maryland, a Soviet-Style Punishment for a Novelist

Posted on by

“A 23-year-old teacher at a Cambridge, Maryland, middle school has been placed on leave and—in the words of a local news report—’taken in for an emergency medical evaluation’ for publishing, under a pseudonym, a novel about a school shooting. The novelist, Patrick McLaw, an eighth-grade language-arts teacher at the Mace’s Lane Middle School, was placed on leave by the Dorchester County Board of Education, and is being investigated by the Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office, according to news reports from Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The novel, by the way, is set 900 years in the future.”

Houston schools discuss child’s ‘Nerf gun’ suspension

Posted on by

“After a couple of days into the school year, fourth grader Ramsey McDonald of Warner Robins was given what he thought was a fun assignment.  Bring in some of your favorite toys to talk about.  ‘They were trying to get the kids to know each other,’ his father, Scott McDonald said.  The Miller Elementary School student told his father Friday night he was going to bring in his iPad and a couple of toys.  His father didn’t think much about it and said ‘OK.’  McDonald learned it wasn’t OK when he received a call from the school Tuesday. ‘They told me my son brought a weapon to school and they asked me if I was aware,’ McDonald said Wednesday.”

School districts drop federal lunch program after kids won’t eat

Posted on by

“The Campbell County district is opting out of the federal school lunch program, forfeiting hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal funding.  The reason: Kids didn’t like their healthful lunches.  The 2,800-student district joins a small but growing number of school districts across the country – mostly wealthy districts who can afford to forfeit the money – who have dropped out of the federal program in the wake of stricter nutritional standards.  Schools said students don’t like the unsalted potatoes, low-fat cheese or the mandatory fruits and vegetables. They throw food away or decide not to eat at all.  If kids don’t buy lunch, the district loses money and has to dig into its general fund.”

The Final Nail in the Coffin: The Death of Freedom in Our Schools

Posted on by

AGOW_SMALL1

“Despite the fact that dinosaurs are extinct, the status fabricated, and the South Carolina student was merely following orders, his teacher reported him to school administrators, who in turn called the police.  What followed is par for the course in schools today: students were locked down in their classrooms while armed police searched the 16-year-old’s locker and bookbag, handcuffed him, charged him with disorderly conduct disturbing the school, arrested him, detained him, and then he was suspended from school. Stone’s mother was never alerted to the school’s concerns about her son’s creative writing assignment or his subsequent interrogation and arrest.”

U.S. government waging war on school bake sales?

Posted on by

“The homemade brownies, cupcakes and Rice Krispies treats that parents prepare for these fundraisers will come under extra scrutiny because of new federal regulations that took effect July 1.  The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 puts the USDA in charge of monitoring whether schools meet the new healthy meal standards. The USDA also has the authority to set nutritional standards for all foods regularly sold in schools during the school day, including vending machines, the ‘a la carte’ lunch lines, school stores and the traditional K-12 bake sale.  More bake sales are offering processed, pre-packaged goods because the nutritional contents are clearly labeled.”
