I truly cannot believe how far this nation has sunk to accomendate the brain dead egocentric so-called leaders in various public institutions! How does anyone expect the next generation to learn anything with this kind of crap going on. This happened in Chicago but equally disturbing reports come out of Florida, California and elsewhere. With this crap going on the US will develop a new catagory for stupid, uneducated, no fucking common sense idiots. And for those of us who are older this is fricking scary because these are the types of people who will end up in responsible jobs when it comes to caring for the sick or disabled because no one of intelligence will be left to do a decent job.
Teacher Sues School over Suspension for 'Weapons' Charge: Showing Students Garden Tools [link to cnsnews.com]
Attorneys for The Rutherford Institute have filed a civil rights lawsuit against a Chicago public school district on behalf of a second-grade teacher who was suspended after he displayed garden-variety tools such as wrenches, pliers and screwdrivers in his classroom as part of a "tool discussion" in his class.
Despite the fact that all potentially hazardous items were kept out of the students' reach, school officials at Washington Irving Elementary School informed Doug Bartlett, a 17-year veteran in the classroom, that his use of the tools as visual aids endangered his students. Bartlett was subsequently penalized with a four-day suspension without pay - charged with possessing, carrying, storing or using a weapon.
"This school district's gross overreaction to a simple teaching demonstration on basic tools such as wrenches and pliers underscores exactly what is wrong with our nation's schools," said Rutherford Institute Pres. John Whitehead.
