In fairness, if the kid didn't like being kicked and sprayed, you'd think he'd have gotten off the bus after the second or third day. I mean, you'd think he'd at least need a bathroom break or something. Maybe get out and stretch his legs a little.

Mainstreaming brings out the best in everyone.

These judgement are aimed at "sending a message" but since the monies awarded are stolen from taxpayers there is no pain and the message gets muted. When will the downtrodden taxpayer speak-up and be defiant enough to pull a lever other than D or R? Or better yet recall all school board members, THAT just might send a message.

yup, "don't get caught"...

They aren't aimed at "sending a message".

They're aimed at "shutting people up"... So as to protect the people that deserved to have a message aimed at them.

Burke, 52, also is banned from ever working with at-risk people, - - -

Seems to me that anyone she worked with would become 'at risk

[loveconstitution1789]

I became "at risk" just by reading about that tyrannical bitch.

I'm betting that anyone over the age of 18 who doesn't have a mental disability is perfectly safe around this person.

Just make sure she's always surrounded by people her own size and strength and it'll be fine.
