Teaching as the most "Embattled Profession"
Is there a WAR ON TEACHERS?

blackturtle.us: Both of the videos you posted make valid points. The corporate media goes out of its way to make teachers look bad and to say negative things about public education in general. Why? Because corporations want to convince the public that public education is ineffective. That way the public will be more likely to see private schools as a good thing which will make a lot of money for corporations. It's all pretty obvious, but if you're only halfway paying attention then you fail to make the connections.

Student tased, arrested at high school fight is son of San Diego rapper
Was the kid targeted? Not much chance of that. Was his behavior more out of line and more brazen than the others involved in the disturbance? Most likely yes. Did security guards make things worse? Maybe, maybe not. If some kid got hurt and the school didn't have security guards would there be a lawsuit? Obviously. Lesson learned: If the parents in the community did a better job of raising their kids none of this would have happened.

Looks like the son of the rapper (tiny doo doo) is going to face tougher charges.

ergot: Tiny Doo Doo is about the most ridiculous name for a rap artist that I've ever heard. Who the heck calls themselves Tiny Doo Doo? What do they call his son? Little Crap?

Teacher resigns over leaked nude photos
IMHO she should not have resigned and she should go after damages from the kid's parents. On top of that criminal charges should be made against the kid. Not only did he steal her phone, but he also invaded her privacy.

mrfish: The lady should have absolutely refused to resign. She should have hooked up with a good lawyer and gone after the school district, the stupid kid, and the sorry parents of the kid. I'm glad to hear that she has community support, but I'm outraged by the way she's been treated. And where the hell is law enforcement? Why hasn't the kid been charged for taking her phone and looking at her personal files?

recluse: Definitely. This is perfect for Anonymous and it would be like community service to shame the asshole who invaded this lady's privacy and to go after the asshole who put pressure on her to resign. Public shaming really isn't enough, but it might at least send out a message to other assholes and possibly prevent more of this kind of thing.

Boy questioned by anti-extremist police for visiting UKIP website
UKIP stands for United Kingdom Independent Party. How that can be construed as radical is beyond me. Schools should encourage students to explore political options and even if the kid went to a radical Islamic website, there's no reason to think he was sympathetic to their cause. The only way to find out what's real and what's just media propaganda is to explore on your own. Apparently in the UK anyone who doesn't accept the media version of reality is considered suspicious.
