Not as likely if it’s estrogen...
I’ll never forget the funniest That 70’s Show I saw. The parents were sitting their teenage son down to ask if he was doing drugs. The mom says “We’ll do anything to help if you need, counseling, drug treatment therapy...” and the dad says “My foot in your a&&.”
That needs to be said more times to the youth of today. Lessons are great, but sometimes they need to be accompanied by sheer fear.
There are some coaches who do a good job. There are many who ought to be out of education completely.
My thoughts exactly, what the hell do these "educators" expect? I remember when I was a young boy and a queer approached me. I told some older friends and they kicked his a**. Hope these 7th graders have older brothers/friends and they do the same.
NO cheers, unfortunately.
There are stories about teachers abusing kids nearly every day. I have often believed that if teachers are abusing the kids, then the child on child abuse must be **much** more prevalent and serious!
I hope the mainstream media will begin posting these stories. If your child is at home he will not be abused by a teacher or another student, and parents can much more control over the environment.
“Values-based” class!!!!!! HUH!!!!
What these 5 boys need is prison and the rest of the kids could use some hard core classes in topics of “sin”, “Satan” and “hell”, as well as “The Ten Commandments”, “loving God and your neighbor” and “salvation and forgiveness through the grace of Jesus Christ”!
Oh yeah! I forgot! ( Silly me!) The religion preached in the government schools is atheistic Secular Humanism were all “values-based” concepts are relative and human constructions.
Sunnyvale Middle SchoolOn paper this 'carp' shouldn't be happening. Seems like that old saying about a 'few bad apples' is true. If they crack down NOW and don't play pc race games (Tyrone's (or Juan's) mama is a crack whore and in jail so we cut him some slack), they can save the kids and the school.

Re: Post #21
Good question!
What are your thoughts? What do you think is going on?
Have you noticed? Nearly all of these school outrage stories are from schools most people would consider “good”.
Yet....I bet the school was **full** of kids the day after this story broke. What is the matter with these parents? What are they **thinking**?
Very possible, and hardly new. Things like this were not uncommon when I went to middle school in the 70's. School administrators liked to pretend it wasn't happening then, too.
So... am I the only one thinking the officials in that district can’t even do simple math? Add up all the different races, and it still only comes up to 97%.
Anyways, I don’t think it was liberal cirriculum or anything - a similar thing happened at a local middle school, which I fortunately did not attend, and there were definitely no good feelings towards gays, Islam, or any of the other general liberal ‘agendas’. Anyways, the kids weren’t from powerful families, and the worst that happened was they got suspended for a year and kicked off their sports teams.
No, not worth cheering at all. (Well, the concept of Flatt & Scruggs is cheerful ...)
I can’t help thinking that any student who is abusive to his classmates is learning at home that abusing weaker people is an acceptable form of entertainment. However, with as little time as many children spend with their families these days, maybe they’re learning it in daycare, school, sports teams, and from their entertainment.
In their defense, I didn't pull the numbers directly from the district.
But, if we wanted to hijack the thread, we could start speculating about conspiracy theories, or start making references to Buffy and how the town is over a hell-mouth.
“Coaches suspended some of the alleged attackers from athletics in April, but a few were back practicing football this summer at the school.”
Not surprising in the least.
If I was in charge of the world, schools wouldn’t even HAVE sports teams.

I always answer "unknown". Skins white, but for all I know I'm a mut.
we don’t know what the hell they are putting in our food these days. Villaraigrossa doubled the fluroide in the drinking water for us. Is he a medical expert?
estrogen can probably cause homosexual activity.
