Did you see the "with consent of the parents" part?? The parents could have told the school to gently caress off, but didn't. They likely approved of the punishment, and didn't want their kids to participate in the first place. That makes what these kids did even more brave.

Going out there to do what's right a day then choosing the paddling as a gently caress you to the administration. I didn't realize corporal punishment was still legal in many states until yesterday where one of the kid's mom was talking about this on Twitter. This country is completely backwards and we deserve to be thought of by other countries the way we think of Mississippi.

I think the implication is that the threats have been occurring during his presidency and not that they are having an affair or whatever.

Oh. I thought that was turn-of-the-last-century poo poo. Yes, I have to hand these teens so much credit. They're incredibly brave. A few of my friends have been posting "b-b-b-but bullying! Tide Pod Challenge!" on Facebook, but I'm not sure I'd have had this sort of courage when I was in high school.

RZApublican posted:Do they want a new generation of Democrats? Like, a whole lot of them? I'm having this conversation with the principal right now. The middle school kids were kettled in an auditorium, names taken, etc. After I wrote expressing my disapproval, I got a letter back about how they had word of "detractors" coming to the school, and so in the interest of children's safety they put them out of sight, out of mind. But her public e-mail pronouncement was "This is email is sent to let you know that students were peaceful and respectful this morning at Middle School. We had a small number of students who chose to walk out of class and they assembled in a safe space. Those students have returned to class and everyone is following their daily schedule." Trying to decide how many rounds I want to go over this. Claiming that they had to kettle the kids due to a safety threat to me privately, and publicly saying "a small number of students participated" while not mentioning this alleged threat to their safety is some pretty lovely double dealing.

RZApublican posted:He was also an Objectivist which is like the libertarian hat trick new game+ of bad business qualifications Even in Atlas Shrugged the Objectivist CEO Übermenschen™ didn't run their own companies as competing divisions in a cutthroat contest to profit at the expense of other departments. Rand's ideal company is an autocratic centrally-planned dictatorship where the CEO's will is final, the book was especially scornful of actually-existing capitalism because shareholder democracy was a bit too democratic for Rand's taste, as it let inferior men have a say in the business (if they weren't inferior, they'd be the CEO, not some wimpy shareholders spending their time secondguessing her supermen). Imagine being dumb enough to be an Randian, and then imagine being even dumber that you don't actually understand what Rand actually believed and you end up cargo-culting it based on a few beloved buzzwords like her love of unregulated markets.

I thought Clinton only got a blowjob. In any case, you're right, even if it is revealed that Trump has been loving Stormy on the Oval Office desk every other day, it is unlikely to bring him down on its own. But it would result in tremendous embarrassment for pretty much everyone around him, and the ship would sink with him at the helm.

I'd just thought that since the state was always sort of reasonable even when it was swing-y and not mostly blue that they wouldn't have laws that allowed for corporal punishment. Hopefully after this midterm poo poo like this will start to go away for good, even though I won't be around to enjoy the wave against Rs this year and in '20. Just have to make sure my absentee ballot gets sent in.

FilthyImp posted:I had to attend one of those Catholic Marriage Seminars (parents wanted a church wedding, not some heathen approximation) around the time the Obergefell decision was looming. The priest made it very clear that the Official Church Doctrine for Marriage was Man + Woman = Babies, and that all sex was aimed explicitly at that goal. Whatever culture/society defined as marriage was a whole different ball of wax, the Church is in the babymaking business.

Note the abundance of deep red southern states I can remember how much of a bitch this was when I was in school, and then after getting it there had to absorb a few from the old man when I got home. Even worse was when my uncle would visit because he developed it into an art form. He didn't use a board, he used his hand, and it didn't sting, it just felt like regular swats till about five minutes after when your rear end felt like it was on fire to the point you couldn't sit SocketWrench fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Mar 16, 2018 |

I was paddled a couple times in Mississippi. Once in the first grade when I didn't come in from recess promptly enough. I was six years old. Again, in high school, for 'defiantly playing chess.' I was fourteen. It was just a light tap, followed by the principal slapping the sole of his shoe hard to make it sound worse than it was, but it happened. This all was mid '80s/mid '90s
