Monte Moses, superintendent of Cherry Creek School District.
Original Story
Cherry Creek school district has embraced a program aimed at boosting achievement among blacks and Hispanics. The problem is that this program is one of mind-control and reverse racism. Superintendent Monte Moses has hired professional race-hustler and certified loonbag Glenn E. Singleton to close the achievement gap. Singletonís theory is that all of the educational problems concerning blacks and Hispanics can be boiled down to ñ you guessed it ñ racism!
Singleton rants about ìinstitutionalized racismî in his book Courageous Conversations About Race. White teachers, and ñ get this – minority teachers ìco-opted into the white power structureî are racist by virtue of not understanding the ìspecial ways that blacks and Hispanics communicate.î Conflating race and culture? Yes, please.
Cherry Creek paid Singleton a six-figure fee for his services and Superintendent Moses wrote an endorsement blurb for the book. And the program of “equity teams” and “courageous conversations” is being implemented in district schools. Moses is a staunch proponent of Singletonís conspiracy theories and your tax dollars are subsidizing them.

Original Story
Nicholas George, a U.S. citizen from Pennsylvania, was on his way back to college when airport security officers found him carrying English-Arabic flashcards. The Transportation Security Administration questioned him, and a TSA supervisor asked him how he felt about the September 11 attacks, whether he knew “who did 9/11,” and whether he knew what language Osama bin Laden spoke. He was handcuffed and left in a locked cell for two hours before being “abusively” interrogated by two FBI agents, but was never told why he was being detained.
This type of pathetic stupidity, of course, is completely unsurprising from the TSA, being one of Americaís most embarrassing boondoggles since Prohibition.

California’s Department of Health Care Services accidentally printed the Social Security numbers of almost 50,000 Medi-Cal recipients on the outside of envelopes. Social Security numbers, if obtained by miscreants, can be used in identity theft.

HAVERSTRAW (DATE) – 14 year old Jason Laguna, a student at Fieldstone Secondary School, is a member of student government and, according to his last report card ìis a pleasure to have in class.î He is also a former altar boy and proud Catholic. He received rosary beads as a gift, thinks they look cool, and sometimes wears them under his shirt at school. But on (DATE), just before class was dismissed, he pulled them out. As a result, he was punished with a one day suspension.
The school has no policy against wearing rosaries, so why was Laguna suspended? The principal of the school claims it was ìinsubordinationî and that he ìendangered the safety, health, morals or welfare of himself or others.” The school arbitrarily decided, without making any official policy, that beads can be used to show gang affiliation.

The school has no policy against wearing rosaries, so why was Laguna suspended? The principal of the school, Benito Herrero, claims it was insubordination and that he ìendangered the safety, health, morals or welfare of himself or others.” The school arbitrarily decided, without making any official policy, that beads can be used to show gang affiliation.
For what it’s worth, in January of 2009, principal Herrero was convicted of DWI after striking a utility pole. Oh, and his daughter was in the car.

Original Story
LOUISVILLE, KY (Thursday morning DATE?) – Richard Martin was trying to get help for his two teens who were trapped inside their burning home. Martin grabbed his cell phone. He got 911 dispatchers but they were in Sellersburg, Indiana and he was placed on hold while he was being transferred back to Louisville. Martin’s call was sent to at least three locations before getting back to Louisville.
The reason for this is that the local 911 dispatchers are utterly unequipped to handle calls from mobile phones. The system is built around increasingly outmoded land lines despite the fact that in 2009, 70% of 911 calls came from cell phones. Consequently, according to MetroSafe (RESEARCH), it happens thousands of times a year.

SAN FRANCISCO (date?) – The Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District’s Board of Directors is moving ahead on a proposed $50 million net system beneath the bridge that is intended to deter suicides.
The state of California and its municipalities are facing a severe budget shortfall and nonetheless are spending $50 million on a project which is not only frivolous but impedes Darwin from doing his job and citizens from electing to end their lives. Furthermore, the bridge, a renowned landmark, will be visually fouled by the giant safety net.
Eve Meyer, executive director of San Francisco Suicide Prevention praised the board this morning for proceeding with the net system.

Jeff Roorda, anti-pot screwball. Sure looks stoned to me...
Original Story
JEFFERSON CITY, MO – Lawmakers in Missouri and Kansas are considering creating more laws in order to ban a product called K2. K2 is a mixture of herbs and spices sprayed with a synthetic compound with similar properties to THC, the active ingredient in cannabis.
A proposed bill in Missouri, sponsored by the well known screwball, state Rep. Jeff Roorda (D-MO), would make possession a felony punishable by up to seven years in prison – identical to punishments given to users of real marijuana. A similar bill in Kansas would make possession a misdemeanor punishable, with up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine, also the same as marijuana convictions.
If K2 is in fact harmful, the obvious solution is to legalize its safe, natural alternative ñ marijuana. But thatís the kind of logical, rational maneuver of which hysterical politicians and corrupt pseudogovernment corporations could not conceive.

Original Story
The Lower Merion School District of Ardmore, Pa. has spied on students and families by what a lawsuit calls “indiscriminate use of and ability to remotely activate the webcams incorporated into each laptop issued to students by the School District.”
Approximately 1,800 students at the district’s two high schools have been given laptops as part of a state and federally-funded “one-to-one” student-to-laptop initiative. One of those students, Blake Robbins, was accused by a Harriton High School official of “improper behavior in his home” and shown a photograph taken by his laptop.
An assistant principal identified as Ms. Matsko confirmed that the district could remotely activate the webcam in students’ laptops ìat any time it chose and to view and capture whatever images were in front of the webcam, all without the knowledge, permission or authorization of any persons then and there using the laptop computer.”
The district, of course, did not tell Robbins or his parents beforehand that their son’s laptop webcam could be activated remotely and there was no mention of the functionality in any of the documentation they received or on the district’s Web site.
Aside from the inherent evil of this domestic espionage program the school has violated the federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), and other federal and state statues, including the Pennsylvania Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Act.
Incidentally, this case illustrates the idiotic design of laptop computers. The webcams installed in these computers are built into the upper half and cannot be easily physically disconnected, which is an insulting and helplessness-promoting design decision. In light of this case, a hard disconnect point for the microphone and camera on a computer should be mandated by law.

Therese Ziemann, who glued a man's penis to his stomach. All three of the depicted criminals look like crazy cat ladies.
Original Story
Chilton WI, Feb 3, 2010 – A unidentified woman was upset to find that her husband was cheating on her. She then called upon her fellow cackling hens to get revenge. Therese Ziemann, 48, of Menasha, WI, arranged to meet the husband at a motel where she tricked him into being restrained under the guise of bondage play. When he was tied up and blindfolded, Ziemann texted for her three other friends to come, including the wife. Ziemann slapped the husband in the face, cut off his underwear, and glued his penis to his stomach while all four of them shrieked at him.
Despite the sick nature of this crime, which if the genders were reversed would result in a severe prison sentence, the judge Donald Poppy, sentenced them to a mere year of probation and community service. So much for gender equality.
