MICHIGAN – The immigration crisis on the southern border, involving tens of thousands of minors from El Salvador, Honduras,and Guatemala, has become a concern for Michiganders who live in a rural community with fewer than 3,000 people.

Wolverine Human Services, a social services agency that typically helps needy Michigan children, is in the process of securing a contract and negotiating with the Office of Refugee Resettlement to bring between 60-120 male illegal immigrants, between the ages of 12-17 [pictured above], to the small city of Vassar without any input from residents of the community.

That headline might sound ridiculous, but at the core of this story – that’s what’s going on.  And before you dismiss it, it’s far more common than you would think…

Happy Fathers Day from the New Jersey Politburo:

BACKSTORY – A 13-year-old New Jersey middleschooler was twirling a pencil in class.  Another student said he made it look like a gun and reported it to the teacher.

The teacher over-reacted, the school’s initial response compounded the stupidity.

Dad went public.

The community and media ridiculed the school heavily.  The School District Superintendent had no choice but to side with Dad – the entire incident was insufferably silly.

Embarrassed, and feeling pressure from both district administration and the media as well as the broader public, the school backed down, way down, even sending Dad an apology.

However, either for spite -or because they are constitutionally stupid- I’d guess the former, the administration of the school filed an “incident report” with Child Protection and Permanency, a division within the New Jersey CFS (Child Family Services).

That kicked 13-year-old junior and Dad into the New Jersey CFS system.

Dad was now demanded by the state to send junior to a psychologist for an evaluation.  That’s when things went downhill….. quickly. (more…)

Lt. Christopher Barella, who is a white male, successfully  sued the village of Freeport in Long Island, NY for racial discrimination after he was denied the opportunity to even interview for the position of Chief of Police.  Barella was awarded $1.35 million overall, which includes $200,000 in punitive damages.  The village of Freeport will also have to pay his legal fees and all court costs related to the proceeding.

According to documents filed in Barella’s claim, the village under mayor Andrew Hardwick’s leadership chose Miguel Bermudez, an officer of hispanic origin, who had fewer academic qualifications and scored lower on the application test for Chief, on the basis of race only.  The jury agreed.

At a meeting held in New Hampshire to address parent’s unhappiness and push back against the “Common Core” curriculum, the meeting opened with a “moderator” setting the stage for the idea that parents who oppose “Common Core” have a hidden (racist) agenda and their concerns about Common Core are unfounded, unreasonable and worthy of dismissal:

“Every teacher that’s using it, is basically saying, this is inspiring …people who are actually using it, like it, again, in terms of local control, you still have local control, if you want higher standards, if that is your genuine point (emphasis mine), then you can go ahead and do the higher standards and the process was indeed entirely transparent…

A teacher who drafted the standards starts to speak:

“I’m not being paid to be here, either. I’m just a teacher who helped write the standards.  And the reason I helped write the standards, and why I am here today, is that I as a white male in society, I am given a lot of privilege that I didn’t earn.

WASHINGTON (AP) – First lady Michelle Obama is striking back at House Republicans who are trying to weaken healthier school meal standards, saying any effort to roll back the guidelines is “unacceptable.”

The rules set by Congress and the administration over the last several years require more whole grains in the lunch line and set limits on sodium, sugar and fat.

The first lady met Tuesday with school nutrition officials who said the guidelines are working in their schools.

One thing is certain, were he alive St Skittles would have been seriously not right with some old school teachin’ dude mo-fo trying to squeeze in on his rep…

CALIFORNIA – A yearbook photo of a high school teacher making a political statement by dressing up like slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin was stirring up controversy in the community Thursday.

As classes let out for the day at Brentwood’s Heritage High School in Brentwood, California Thursday, students were more excited than usual because the school had issued the 2014 yearbook.

Very quickly, a portrait taken by longtime history teacher Spencer Smith became a hot topic sweeping across campus.

In the photo, Smith is dressed like Trayvon Martin, the Florida teenager killed by neighborhood watch coordinator George Zimmerman in 2012.

Smith is wearing a hoodie with the hood covering his head and he’s holding a bag of Skittles candy.

Reactions to the photo among students were mixed.

“I think it’s OK that he did it, just not in the yearbook. I think he can do it at his house or on his Facebook. But not in the yearbook,” said sophomore Amber McKim. (more…)

A Progressive Middle School in Rhode Island cancelled an Honors Night event to celebrate academic achievement because it rewards success, which they say is too “exclusive“.

The public calls them out – they reverse course, or well, try too, and fail miserably.   Here’s the announcement and the walk back.   You decide:

Dear Cole Families,

We would like to take this opportunity to notify you of a change to our annual spring events at Cole [Middle School]. Honors Night has been a longstanding tradition in our community — one that was created in the Cole Junior High School era.

Members of the school community have long expressed concerns related to the exclusive nature of Honors Night. Therefore, we have made the collective decision to recognize students during team-based recognition ceremonies and graduation. This will afford us the opportunity to celebrate the individual and collective successes of all students and their effort, progress, and excellence.

Additionally, our Cole varsity athletes will receive their medals and trophies at an after school ceremony.

Best wishes for a nice weekend.

Kindest regards,

Alexis Meyer and Dan Seger  (Principal and Vice-Principal)

OK, you getting this?  Because it’s too “exclusive” to honor the top performers they cancelled the event in favor of an ‘everybody equal’ ceremony.

What do they do next ?   They tell everyone they didn’t communicate the change well enough.   GASLIGHTING ALERT !

Question for PROGS:   Then why grade ?

Within your ideological stupidity – If there is no differentiation between the assimilated drone mind that must be just as good as, but no better than, the standard deviation, then why even grade the kids?   Might as well just pass out collective distribution diplomas.

CONNECTICUT – Middle School Cancels Honors Night – The notice was sent to parents over the weekend in an e-mail signed by School Principal Alexis Meyer and Assistant Principal Dan Seger.

Citing concerns about the “exclusive nature” of the annual honors night at Archie R. Cole Middle School, school officials have decided to scrap the tradition.

Instead, students who would normally be recognized at the annual spring tradition will be honored during team-based recognition ceremonies and graduation. (more…)
