Pittsylvania Co., VA - A Pittsylvania County school is being sued, accused of forcing a young boy to dress like a girl. The Twin Springs Elementary student claims school officials made him wear red fingernail polish, red lipstick and a hairbow, while attending classes.
The 5th grader says he was required to be referred to as "Mattie the new student." According to court documents, school officials deny all charges. We'll have much more on this story on the Night Team.
Myabe mattie can date the quarterback at the prom
WTF?
I can, Sue these BAS+rds, throw them out of the teaching peofession and take away their license to teach. They are the SCUM that have been perverting our children. I hope the Parents in this school district really get Pi$$ed get rid of these Scum!
I can't imagine it either. This 5th grader has problems way outside the school.
Sue these clowns for their ENTIRE School Distict budget! that would wake up this scholl disticts (dirtbag) residents that they MUST rid them selves of people like these.

Student sues school principal
MOUNT HERMON - A youngster who was a fifth-grader at Twin Springs Elementary School last year has filed a civil lawsuit in Pittsylvania County Circuit Court against the Twin Springs principal, assistant principal and county division superintendent.
As an 11-year-old on Jan. 23, 2004, the male student alleges he was "intentionally required to put on and wear red fingernail polish, red lipstick, and a hair bow in the school and attend classes.

Twin Springs principal Emma Austin, assistant principal Jenny Eaton and School Superintendent James E. McDaniel are named as defendants in the lawsuit which claims they "had a duty to protect the plaintiff from harm and injury while at school and a duty not to injure him."
Austin and Eaton are sued individually and in their official capacities as employees of the School Board. McDaniel is sued in his official capacity only.
The lawsuit alleges the administrators "should have known that their intentional and reckless conduct would likely cause emotional distress to the plaintiff" and characterizes their conduct as "outrageous, intolerable and negligent."
McDaniel is named because he is accused of not taking the proper disciplinary action against the administrators....

I'm with you....I sniff a McMartin thing...
I hear they make Hillary dress up like a girl sometimes, too.
Two lesbian feminists doing a little conciousnes raising?
Maybe the school principal needs a date with Rasheed in cell block 9.
McDaniel is named because he is accused of not taking the proper disciplinary action against the administrators.
Judgment is sought by claiming the plaintiff was "caused to sustain injuries, endure embarrassment in the past and future and suffer pain of body and mind."
The lawsuit seeks judgment of $100,000 in compensatory damages, $100,000 in punitive damages, plus costs, expenses, attorney's fees and interest.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the minor by Ryan Thornberry, identified as his next friend.
The plaintiff's attorney is Glenn L. Berger of Berger and Thornhill of Altavista.
The defendants' attorney, Glenn W. Pulley of Clement & Wheatley in Danville, filed a "Grounds of Defense and Affirmative Defenses" Nov. 22, 2004.
They "deny that they are indebted to the plaintiff in any amount whatsoever," states court records.
The defendants deny requiring the fifth-grader to wear red nail polish, lipstick and a bow or be referred to as Mattie.
They deny requiring any conduct that would cause emotional distress.
"Wherefore, defendants Emma Austin, Jenny Eaton and James E. McDaniel deny that (the) plaintiff is entitled to any of the relief sought in the motion for judgment and move the court for entry of an order dismissing the motion for judgment with prejudice, together with an award of costs," states court records.
The defendants also filed a "Plea in Bar" Nov. 22, 2004, on grounds that the action brought by the plaintiff is barred by sovereign immunity.
The plea sights two Virginia Supreme Court cases which indicate governmental employees in Virginia are entitled to sovereign immunity in matters of simple negligence.
Also filed on Nov. 22, 2004, was a "demurrer" to the plantiff's motion for judgment contending that the lawsuit fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted against them and the motion for judgment fails to fairly inform them of the nature and basis of the plaintiff's claims.
They have asked for dismissal.
An April hearing date has been set.
I can. I just read about this going on somewhere else but I can't for the life of me remember where it was now. In any event feminists are out of control.
Of course, I wouldn't know. : )
