Brickbat: How Can You Have Any Pudding?

Kyle Bradford saw that a friend didn't care for the cheese sandwich he'd been served in the lunch room at California's Weaverville Elementary School. So Bradford offered him part of his chicken burrito, which also came from the lunch room. School officials caught him and gave Bradford detention. Tom Barnett, superintendent for the Trinity Alps School District, says school policy bans students from sharing food because of hygiene issues as well as the possibility some students might have food allergies.

This story would make an even better Brickbat.

Well, la-ti-da, look at Mr. "I have so much free time I can read every article and not just the ones I can make funny comments on in the AM Links".

You think Charles Oliver's got time to check to see if he's re-posting stuff? It's Friday AM, he's a busy man, he's got donuts to eat and coffee to drink!

My orphan labor that trawls H&R informed me it was a repeat. (Seriously, do I just have a good memory or something?)

I'm more amazed that my comment didn't get scrubbed after this article was pulled from H&R after its brief appearance yesterday evening.

Here's a Brickbat - A Cop's Guide To 10 Limitations of Body Cams, AKA - who are you going to believe, me or your own lying eyes?

You think I am going to click on a PoPo 1 link after all those nut shots yesterday?!!!

You are sadistic!

Sure, but if they get punted up into my pelvis, they are not of much use...

When I started my law enforcement career, on that fateful day in April of 1997, an officer's word was enough. It's a shame that an officer's word means little to nothing 17 years later.

I wonder why?

They never taught Aesop's fables in police academy.

So, I decide to check out The Force Science Institute, and what pops up?

I cannot imagine how the parents of these kids punished for such inane reasons don't lead off any conversation with school administrators with "What kind of morons are running this place?"

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Exactly my thoughts.

BTDT. Their voices go up an octave, they get outraged and defensive that someone would dare to question their wisdom and you'll find your kid "marked" and fucked with in subtle ways until they are no longer in that school. But damn did it feel good to call them exactly what they were.

And as a bonus, the kid learned that special lesson that apparatchiks of the state are NOT here to help and are by and large morons who would be barely employable in the private sector.

School officials caught him and gave Bradford detention

Because RULEZ!

Bradford says that he would definitely share his lunch again if a friend wanted a portion of his meal.

Someone's begging for a flogging ....

school policy bans students from sharing food because of hygiene issues as well as the possibility some students might have ... allergies.

School policy had jolly well better ban students from sharing *toys*, too!
