Brickbat: Should I Not Have Said That?

Labpluto123

In Florida, Southside Middle School teacher Kelly Hendrix has been suspended without pay for 15 days after repeatedly insulting and intimidating students. A report found she cursed at students, made homophobic insults towards them and said she hated white people, among other things. Hendrix says she believes those claims were orchestrated by a student who says the teacher outed her as a lesbian to her father.

The investigation says that Hendrix told students if they reported her inappropriate behavior they would fail the class or be given referrals, telling them "I own you, you listen to me..."

I hear the Spokane NAACP is looking for a new president.

I almost missed the part where the "punishment" was 15 *days* unpaid leave, plus...wait for it...a letter in her personnel file. It seems that this is "progressive discipline," which seems to be specified in...wait for it...a union contract.

And she got disciplined back in 1998 for slapping students.

"Do that again, and we'll...we'll make you sit in a corner!"

Hello Rufus,

Ms. Hendrix is not the skin tone you apparently think she is.

I love that the teacher's defense is that this is retaliation for outing a student as a lesbian to her dad since it's totally ethical for a teacher to do that.
