Brickbat: Teaching the Important Lessons

Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye/Newscom

Ann Marie Shelvin and Tracy Gallow, teachers at Louisiana's Washington Elementary School, face a number of criminal charges for bullying and forcing other students to. Shelvin threatened to fail three students if they did not fight the girl and told the girl to kill herself. When the girl's mother complained and the school removed Shelvin from the classroom, Gallow took her place and continued to bully the girl. She was caught twice on video pushing the girl onto school bleachers.

Uh, obviously the common denominator here is the girl, who these two educators were vindicated in pushing by the fact that she turned out to be a total snitch. Can't the teachers play the "feared for my life" card? What a weak union.

Huh - link goes to the brickbat from yesterday. I'd suggest punishing the intern responsible, shove the kid into a bleacher or something.

The link now goes to a "404 - The webpage cannot be found" screen.

Did yesterday, too. Do I have to do everything?

[Cynical Asshole]

...and you SF'ed the link too. That's some good irony. It's like O. Henry and Alanis Morisette had a baby and named it this exact situation.

It's the law of the jungle. Don't expect teachers or anyone else for that matter to help. Find the courage, stand up and face the bully. Fight if you must and take a beating if necessary. If you get suspended so be it. If the bullying stops it's a good trade off.

I'll do that when the bully asks for a saliva sample, without reasonable grounds.

Much as Chris Cuomo is a hateful piece of shit, I'm enjoying this back-and-forth with the equally despicable Kellyanne Conway where he asks a question and she immediately starts accusing him of being disrespectful with his accusations. Just laughably insane shit she's throwing out there - it's a wonder she doesn't accuse him of racism and sexism in asking her a question, too.

Why is this teacher not in jail for violating the victim's civil rights? Heads need to roll in both the school system and the police.
