Brickbat: Respect My Authority

Antwan Ruffin, a security officer at Florida's Horace Mann Middle School, has been charged with child abuse and battery after punching a student who refused to go to class. Cellphone video, which begins after the incident has started, shows Ruffin yelling at the student. "Try me. Let me tell you something," Ruffin said. "This hallway, I run. When that bell rings, you in my hallway." The boy responds by saying, "yo," causing Ruffin to move closer. Ruffin asks the boy if he wants a phone to call then punches him in the chest.

Love the irony of this incident occurring in the 'Horace Mann' middle school. I wonder if he thought about this aspect of educational 'reform'.

[The Encogitationer]

Very prescient words here:

"We who are engaged in the sacred cause of education are entitled to look upon all parents as having given hostages to our cause."

--Horace Mann (1845). "Lectures on Education", p.184

It would not be bad at all to accept some wisdom of the anti-immigration ethno-state called Wakanda. The basic wisdom consists of knowledge that migrants brought their problems with them. No hatred was left behind. No wrong was forgiven or even forgottenClick here.

[The Encogitationer]

Oh, yeah, Wakanda is a real model for a free society. /sarc

Think about it: An Absolute Monarchy with a King chosen be a mix of heredity and deadly ordeal, with no doubt an ethic of "Might Makes Right" throughout society, with rival tribe heads vying with the King for power, and all prosperity rising and falling on one product, Vibranium, which came to them purely by chance via a meteor, and almost completely isolated from the rest of the world.

All it would take is The Red Skull to get The Tesseract, turn all the Vibranium into rubber, and "Hail Wakanda!" changes to "Jump Down, Turn Around, Pick A Bail of Cotton!"

"To Hell With Wakanda!" Give me the Loonies on the Moon in The Moon is A Harsh Mistress or the North American Confederation in The Probability Broach anytime!

I haven't seen the video, but the linked article mentions George Floyd, so that punch must have been pretty bad.

[Earth Skeptic]

What, no mention of skin colors involved? How are we to make ideological judgements about guilt?

An ape hits a puppy. Draw your own conclusions.

This is approaching Peak Woke.

[Quo Usque Tandem]

"Peak Woke."

Nah, it has a ways to go before it arrives at it's inevitable denouement and everyone is cancelled.

Another reason to end public schools and break the teachers union.

"This hallway, I run. When that bell rings, you in my hallway."

I wonder if he was a fan of Homicide: Life on the Street.

[SteelyEyed]

It's actually "authoritah".

[Bubba Jones]

Why wasn't the kid in class?

[Unicorn Abattoir]

Maybe the school wasn't "zoned for donuts".
