Yes, it works, but you shouldn’t have to do that. Especially when you just posted as opposed to simply read posts. I don’t need (always) the back button in the normal parts of FR. It’s just not well-designed. It’s been around for 10+ years and noone works out these glitches? Things haven’t really changed since I’ve been here for 6 years, I know that.

Captain Jimmy Pogue of the Marion County Sheriff’s office said the 10-year-old was not treated like a criminal.

“I don’t want people to feel like we’re arresting 10-year-olds, handcuffing them, and hauling them off in a back of a patrol car and taking them to jail,” Pogue told MyFOXOrlando. “That’s not the circumstance.”

Nah, no one would believe you didn’t loose all common sense! Nah, it’s common to see 10 year old girls, cuffed, and taking them off in a police car and NOT think they are some kind of a criminal. Never mind what the girls uncle said or the petrified girl who wasn’t threatening anyone. It’s my evil imagination at work again ... .

“Just another example of zero tolerance for common sense in our tax funded public schools.”

And folks wonder why their kids are getting dumber and dumber in public schools ... LOOK at WHO is running th public school! They have NO COMMON SENSE!

Yes, I know someone will turn up righteously defending their precious public school ... even as their own kids are indoctrinated with garbage ... go figure! Denial of the failure of public schools is rampant.

“...public schools and the idiots who run them.”

Precisely!!! I took my children out of public school after I realized just how ignorant the teachers were. What’s lacking in this story is the NAMES of these teachers who fit the description: IDIOTS.

In the school my daughters attended, they not only could use eating implements, but were taught table manners, including how to properly use a KNIFE and fork and the proper way to set a table. Fork on the left of the plate, salad fork to the left of the dinner fork. KNIFE on the right of the plate, BLADE facing the plate, spoon to the right of the KNIFE. The school began this instruction at age FOUR GEESH!!!

Yup ... at my daughters private school they are allowed to have REAL knives, forks and spoons to eat with - just as they do at home. They don’t need PLASTIC utensils. If they misbehave or kids become a problem - they are thrown OUT. it’s very nice there and academically we’re very happy. They also have COMMON SENSE - rare in a PUBLIC SCHOOL.

Zero tolerance = zero brains.

Yes, and intolerance for anything Christian.

"The "rule" which she "violated" is chickenshit."

The Officials are probably taking care, so Muslim terrorists, don’t get hold of the Knife and take over the schools,

Both my grandchildren were taken out of Public Schools and put in private schools,each child costs my Kids $26,000 per year plus the taxes they already pay for Public ed.

So their est. cost for grade school ed is about $34,000.00
