An author from the 1700s? Let me guess; Jonathan Swift.
If I recall correctly not everyone got his satire in his time either. |

I got 10 bucks that says the racial slur on the bathroom wall was a false flag operation.

Let me guess...

^ I Put in my letter of resignation and will no longer be a teacher in June.
To enter this career field nowadays as a white male is madness. It will only get worse. Too bad losing control of education to leftist ideologues is what got us into this mess. |

Gotta hold on to that power that's been building, at all costs.
In a statement, the school system said, “The difficult but honest conversations underway at North County High School will not produce instant satisfaction. This is an ongoing process, which will require the dedicated effort of students, parents, staff and community members to produce lasting positive results.” View Quote |

I love how the school system is "still investigating" the word that was put in the bathroom. They must have crime scene tape, CSI people all over the place getting samples.

Is "a classroom assignment, which was supposed to mimic an author from the 1700s" supposed to mean "anyone from the 1700's" or "a satire like Swift's"?
Reporters fucking suck. |

Later in the week, students at North County reported that a derogatory word for African-Americans was written in a bathroom. View Quote My God. The humanity. How are these poor kids ever going to survive this ordeal? Can you imagine a world where a word gets written on a bathroom stall? What could possibly be next?

These people are so fucking stupid. its Baltimore, never expect anything better Not Baltimore - Anne Arundel County, near BWI. Horribly written article - this one's a little better. At least 2 sides to this story. Yes, it was written as satire and may have addressed the assignment. However, it also probably straddled the line to offensive. If that's all it was - who cares? But it wasn't just sent in as an assignment - it was shared on social media. So as long as the student was trying to get people talking, that part worked. |

Other attendees told Dyson that he's dismissing the perspective and emotions of the students. View Quote So this guy, who's Black and attending an all Black gripe session, takes up for the author and laughs at their stupidity, is told he's not supposed to look at this logically, but emotionally. |

I love how the school system is "still investigating" the word that was put in the bathroom. They must have crime scene tape, CSI people all over the place getting samples. View Quote When I was in middle school some sick bastard wrote out "FUCK YOU" in fecal matter (6-7 inch lettering) on one of the stall doors. The entire school had to come into the hallway, stand in a line, and have their hands inspected. The admin was looking for "evidence", because the school district said that the school had to sanitize every door handle and locker face in the entire school, s they could charge the cost to the parents of the kid. They did the same thing with a fire alarm pull. The kid that did it had that UV ink on his hands and washed it off. The FD came in and brought a UV light and went down the line of students in the hallway until they found him. IIRC that cost his parents around $600 and that was in the mid 90's. |
