It’s The People’s Republic of Connecticut, so as long as it was done to a white boy, all is A-OK.

That is definitely true. I have had many adults tell me that was there experience back in school. They were usually highly intelligent plus highly energetic , and still are to this day. These people knew they were acting up, and trying to entertain people, but mostly because they were bored and everybody else seemed bogged down.

I’m guessing the teacher is a liberal, and will be protected by the union.

I remember an incident in which a liberal acquaintance spotted a woman with her son who had an obvious neurological problem, possibly cerebral palsy.

The liberal remarked at how funny the kid’s movements were. I gave him a ration of **** over his comment.

Liberals are supposed to be tolerant and accepting of people who don’t match their idea of normality, but in fact they are the opposite. Simply put, they are hypocrites.

Obama demonstrated the same attitude when he was discussing his lack of bowling ability on the Leno show. He compared his poor score to the Special Olympics, and they both had a jolly good laugh over that.

But compare that with Trump when he allegedly mocked a disabled reporter. The liberals went nuts, but almost totally ignored Obama’s remarks.

I hate liberals.

That’s sure enough one way to get short term conformity. But just ask what some folks on FR think about the whole idea of modern public school.

Last month, a mother from Texas experienced a similar situation when her teacher's son texted her expletive-filled messages of her son's behavior.

Course language is becoming very common in the people that used to command respect. People who were supposed to be professionals.

Our culture is in rapid decay. I worries me.

The modern crowd calling itself liberals generally isn’t liberal at all. It’s illiberal.

That’s another thing—my last year in private school/beginning of HS the coaches would literally slap us in the back of the head hard enough to rattle the brain if they heard you say anything worse than crap in mixed company.

Well, it’d be weird as my dad passed away about 15 years ago.

This teacher shows he/she has a real problem controlling her emotions.

To put such comments in writing is either poor emotional control or extremely poor judgment.

Either way he/she should not be in the classroom.

INCLUSION is for EVERY student with the obvious exception of someone who is violent. Inclusion has been proven for the last 30 years that is benefits ALL the students.

I had a teacher call me the whistla - “Hey Whistla”(Mass. - I whistled in class a couple times as I had just learned to) and pretty soon as I walked down the halls, I had just about every kid calling me that. This was in 3rd grade and I was already the shy type so I took it pretty hard.

It’s one thing for another kid to make fun or create a nickname, it’s another for an adult in authority position to do it.
