Thanks for the how far y'all had to walk to school back in the day....and how hard yo daddy had it...
But no one gives a $hit.
Most people on this thread get it.
A couple lard-heads like yourself don't.
This innocent child was publicly humiliated and paraded around the entire school by the institution's authority figure. She wasn't "accused," as you say--she was declared a liar and a thief. No investigation, no due process, just, She's bad and we all should hate her.
Rethink. It's not a matter of opinion. You are wrong.
It is interesting that the two hardheads are the two who report having gone through harshness as a kid and "found nothing wrong" with it. Sounds like some senses of justice have indeed been cheapened....
