This kid needs to organize some kind of legal defense drive on the internet. I will donate to that cause, if I am convinced it’s going towards an actual legal fund and not just an “extended vacation” like the money for the harassed bus monitor.
I have nothing against the bus monitor or the people who sent her a half million dollars but let’s think for a moment about the difference between these two cases:
1) the kid was exercising his freedom of speech and calling the country’s attention to an example of how bad the government schools are in our nation and now is being stepped on my the authorities for his actions
2) the bus monitor wasn’t doing her job (the exact nature of which is completely unclear) but was viciously attacked by some young thugs
I’m not criticizing those sticking up for the bus monitor. I am saying that if the bus monitor deserves to get half a million for an “extended vacation”, this freedom fighting teenager deserves a darned good legal defense fund.
The parents could sue the school board, school admins and the teacher to have the suspension removed from the record and to guarantee cooperation with the school to end any retaliation against the student.
I suspect they don’t have the money for such a suit.
“Sounds like Antoine Brisbon needs a few hundred more calls and some encouragement to do something else for a living”
Probably won’t do any good at this moment as summer break started a couple of weeks ago.
“I sure wouldnt need some Central Office bureaucrats permission to home-school. WTF?”
You would if you wanted him to still get non-failing grades from the school (remember, they have his Social Security number). Also, three weeks were left when this happened.
For the next year, yes, home school is not this school’s business, but no diploma from them. Best to transfer at this point, and try to get the kid through high school as normally as possible, so that he can apply to colleges.
What the hell does an ‘assistant principal’ do, anyway? Fire the idiot, and lower property taxes a bit.
Big lawsuit should be coming their way. Instittionalized hostile environment. Lots of underemployed lawyers should be chomping at the bit on this one.
That was a very stupid thing you did. You have damaged the school. Our staff is taking a beating because our phones are nonstop. This is all over the country.
So now we have a new Fascist Hitler Youth to worry about too?
I wouldn’t describe those out to get him as “leftist kids”. They’re in the same “club” as the teacher. This is no longer about politics. It’s now about race.
There are some on these forums who will cheer that.
Someone should start a fund for him just like they did for the bus lady and the girl who was jailed in Texas for truancy by that idiot judge.
The comments on the bottom of the article are scathing, as usual.
I don’t think you people realize this is how the Obama “brown shirts” act. INTIMIDATION and FEAR are their only means to an end.
If Obama wins reelection, get used to it for it will be the ground rule to ensure another Dem gets elected for President after Obama’s rule, if we have any elections at all then.
HE did not damage the school... the TEACHER did. of course, i would NEVER expect any teacher / progressive to see it that way.
i would also submit that the teachers in that school have been encouraging the attacks on the student... as evident by the asst. principal's attitude.
the FACT is politics should not have been brought up in class, unless it was a political class (in high school?)
When was the last time you 'respected' a drunken bully - and member of the Longshoreman's union? Teacher's are equally 'charming'...
You're right - so-called 'educators' have created a hostile environment for learning. The young man could sue them - the best way to deal with bullies is to fight back with everything you've got... He's not attending a school - he's an inmate at an indoctrination center and a mean one at that.
He's one brave kid - my hat's off to him.
Antoine Brisbon — if Obama had an assistant principal.
The ‘doting court eunuchs’ of the MSM wil fail to notice this story... They’re out there busily looking for some gay student who was mildly (maybe) offended ( possibly)...
What the hell happened to us?
Where's the Reset button?
It is time to reboot the system to the point before all the updates, fixes, workarounds, etc. were added and start fresh. It's better to fix it now before the system crashes.
The longer we wait, the more damage is done. If it happens in Salisbury, it's happening everywhere.
Thug union teachers, controlling thug wannbe students to do their dirty work. Teacher unions have to go.....NOW!...........
