Schools ban cancer awareness bracelets for offensive message

2010-09-01T12:02:00.003-04:00

Who doesn't love boobies? Schools!!

Schools from California to Flordia ban cancer awareness bracelet that read "I <3 Boobies (keep a breast)." Could this deter the non-profit organization's cause? While the message is a strong and important one, the tone of the braclet is getting people talking, despite them being banned.

The bracelets cost $4 and can be bought at this link: Keep a Breast.

BIG BROTHER: California students get tracking devices

2010-08-30T11:22:00.000-04:00

A California preschool is outfitting students with a jersey that has a tracking device to automatically take attendance and determine if the kids have eaten yet. I'd imagine the local teenage hackers will have fun with this.

NYC Teachers Stashed Stolen Money In School

2010-08-27T16:44:00.000-04:00

PS 149, you're so GANGSTA!

From the article:

Officials say that former school business manager Katina Williams wrote more than $30,000 in checks payable to cash for unclear expenses, diverted the school funds into three bank accounts between 2005 and 2007, then apparently cashed them herself. Her frequent use of the checks "suggests a portion" of the money "was stolen." But Williams claims that she was following orders from Principal Shaniquia Dixon, and she called the DOE on Dixon: "It wasn't me; it was for her. All I was doing was following instructions. After I told her I wasn't going to do it anymore, I was ... fired from the school."

Mississippi Middle Schools Separates Class by Race

2010-08-27T16:11:00.000-04:00

Remember that movie with Pauli Shore where he is a frozen cave man who thaws out and joins the rest of society? Could someone find the people with the technology to do that and point it on over at Mississippi?

For the love of god, this middle school has decided it's a good idea to have race requirements for various student government offices. Only white kids can run for class president, if you're black and in 8th grade, you can run for vice ( but not 7th or 6th graders) and

Anything we can do to condition them early so we don't end up with any black US presidents again -- I suppose allowing a black VP is a concession we should be willing to make to keep the presidential spots whitebread.

F&^%*$ ME!

"Hail Hilter." Say what? No, no, no, he was just quoted in a Pa. high school yearbook! The quote reads, "And in the last analysis, success is what matters," telling all students that the end justifies the means. Administrators and teachers seemed to just pass the quote over while trying to fill the yearbook with "inspirational" quotes.

High School Students bring gun to school

2010-08-13T18:29:00.002-04:00

Two high school students brought a gun to school and failed at being inconspicuous about it. If you're going to store something like that in you backpack...pass it to your friend in the bathroom, not out in public. Despite obvious fears of devious and dangerous plots, the two were found out after a third person noticed the boy handing the gun over to a teenage girl. Thankfully, this was before anything bad could happen...both students are currently at a youth detention center.
