Obviously part of the title was left off. What's scary is that there really are more people like this out there.

When a child named Curtis Bowen was slapped by his teacher at Martin Luther King Jr., Elementary School, no one really heard about it. Except for President Obama, Vice President Biden, their wives, three senators, and more than 20 other officials.
They all were CC'ed on the whopping 40-page letter that Curtis' mother, Lisa Henry Bowen, sent to school district superintendent John Covington. In it, Bowen makes mind-boggling demands for reparations. One recipient called the letter "one of the craziest things I've ever seen" and leaked it to the Internet. And Lisa Henry Bowen even created her own web site for the occasion: www.CurtisGotSlapped.com.
Lisa Henry Bowen, who copyrights her name and her son's name throughout the letter, kicks it off by identifying herself as the "intellectual property owner" of fourth grader Curtis Bowen (C). She alleges that Curtis was caught horse playing and was slapped by a teacher named Ms. Curry. Lisa Henry tried to report the teacher to social services for child abuse, but was denied as Curtis' skin wasn't broken.
That sent Lisa Henry into a spiral of outrage. She calls Ms. Curry "one audacious white bitch with 'balls'", and then conducts some informal gonad comparisons. "I happen to have some big 'balls' too. And I ain't afraid to use them." (All emphasis hers, throughout.)
Mrs. Bowen uses her balls-to-the-wall logic to devise a way for the school district to repay her. She claims that Curry slapped 1/4 of Curtis' "million dollar face." Therefore, Lisa Henry encloses a homemade bill for a quarter of a million dollars. The $250K bill is issued to five educational entities, so she's really demanding more than $1 million.
And that's just page eight!

The letter takes the mystery out of why her son did something to get slapped. Just wait until her poor little snowflake goes to college, gets drunk, and fails out in his first year.
Hmmmm..... If she wins her case I’m going to try it.
Seems the teacher slapped the wrong Bowen.
Well, if the kid is anything close to a chip off the old block, he probably earned the b*tch slap. Just saying.
“My teacher slapped me once.....ONCE!” /Danny Vermin
Maybe the son’s real problem is the kind of behaviors he has learned from his mother; at least his mother’s behavior provides some possibility for that: his mother - as the root of his problem.
He'll probably be a high school dropout or end up in juvie long before any college has the chance to turn him down.
Sounds like Barack not stepping up and paying her mortgage and gas bills might have pushed Miss Bowen over the edge.
Has Obama declared publicly that Ms. Curry “acted stupidly”? Or maybe he needs a day or two to recover from his Asian vacation before commenting on the case.
Curtis shall receive, among many other things: $13,500 worth of Wal-Mart gift cards, a free college education, two trips to Disney World, nine years of private tennis lessons on the Plaza, season tickets to the opera, theater, and ballet, almost a decade's worth of psychological counseling by "the best black child psychologist in the country," a whole orchestra's worth of new musical instruments, a three-week trip to Africa at a five-star hotel, and a personal audience with President Obama.
Lisa Henry's demands are just as WTF-worthy. She demands the full payment of her mortgage, a new car, home remodeling, free psychological, dental, and medical care for the next nine years, and the cherry on the sundae:
Independent consulting contract position with the Kansas City Missouri School district, for the next nine years. My consulting fee begins at $15,000 per month, minimum 6 months contract.
Because nothing screams "hire me" like a maniacal 40-page threat.
I have to admit her letter shows a lot a creativity and took a certain amount of effort. Too bad she doesn’t choose to apply those talents on something besides trying to rip off taxpayers...like a real job.
The letter is so over the top, I had to laugh...
“She calls Ms. Curry “one audacious white b***h with ‘balls’”
Sigh...some people have to drag race into everything, don’t they?
Not that this woman’s rant would be any less looney without the race card, of course. I’m just sayin’ it’s gettin’ old.
Entitlement mentality defined. Precisely why my wife and many of her colleagues bailed from teaching careers in the public school system at the very first opportunity.
Just wait until Curtis is brutally sodomized in prison before his 18th birthday because he thought he could do no wrong and any time he got in trouble it was because “the man” was out to get him.
"No H.A.R.R.P. signals directed towards KCMO school district neighborhoods and schools to make us crazy, confused, stupid or otherwise alter our brainwaves - EVER."
I if HARRP signals make you crazy, confused and stupid I think that she's had her head jammed in the transmitter for quite a while.
Curtis most likely could benefit from a lot more slapping.
Dang, I want to go slap her kid just to get one of these letters.
Here’s the website’s homepage, btw.

I couldn’t get the 40 page letter to come up, but I’m starting to think this is a publicity stunt, like the guy back in the 90’s who ran the webpage offering $10,000 to anyone who could find a woman good enough to be his wife.
Or maybe the woman really just is that bats*** crazy.
