Geico might be known for its little lizard, but it's the camel that’s stirring up trouble.
You might have seen their latest commercial. A camel walks through a workplace asking people what day it is. He’s super excited about it being hump day. Funny, right?
Teachers at least one Connecticut middle school aren’t fans, because the kids are screaming “HUMP DAY” in the halls, students told HLN affiliate WFSB. They say it’s distracting, and they want it to stop. …

Do your kids wander the hall screaming for no good reason? Then it’s not a problem.
Unapproved speech!!! Get back to your brainwashing!!
No, I taught them better than that.
But teachers have not shown themselves to be the most discriminate of people (reference: See “Zero Tolerance” policies). If they decided to slap some heads to stop a disruption, they’d just hit the nearest kid, who had better not be mine.
Kids being kids? We can’t have that!!!
Hey, at least they are too young for “WOW”
(remember that?)
Zero tolerance policies go in place because people don’t like teachers and principals making punishment decisions, they like blanket “fair” punishments. Notice back when they were allowed to make decisions, and allowed to use corporal punishment, we didn’t have these kinds of problems (and the many worse problems that are around today).
WOW is still around, and no, most kids in Middle School are NOT too young.
Ask an 8th grader what a “Rainbow Party” is and you’ll see what I mean.
The school authorities don’t know what to do. It’s not a kid chewing a pop tart, or a boy placing a kiss on a girl’s cheek. Or a kid with an NRA shirt. Or a kid with a cross. HUMP doesn’t sound like any racist word.
What will the authorities do? Oh the horror! Oh the confusion!
What will the poor things do? Inject them all with xanax or whatever the hell drug they’re giving kids these days?
When I was that age in Connecticut schools we had atomic air raid drills. We all coped pretty well except for Mrs. McInerny who was a WWII bride from Germany. She had been through Allied air raids and wasn’t as enthusiastic about diving under desks as we were.
Now if the boy planted that kiss on another boy’s cheek, the teachers would celebrate diversity or something like that. (Meanwhile, “hump” is mildly sexually suggestive and they get mad at that.)
It’s not a kid chewing a pop tart, or a boy placing a kiss on a girl’s cheek …
Teachers need tlo go back to whipping kids!!!!
If these were “those days” I could see it. But now, in the 21st Century, I don’t trust the JBT wannabes with corporal punishment.
Next week it will be something else, & on & on & on.
Gross overreaction of the school administration.
