Thanks for the support.

I don't profile all Texans as assholes, by the way. I profile Texas as a land historically know for being a place supporting Manifest Destiny, White Supremacy, and Jim Crow. Being from the South, I feel I have the right to point out its flaws.

Whereas if I had pulled that shit, being a student and everything, they wouldn't be so kind.

Of course, because students are the only bullies of other students. The teacher just had a stroke of craze and was an outlier.

Well the vast majority of these kind of stories DO come from the Southeast, and that includes Texas.



And most of the 9/11 terrorists were from the same geographic area too. So clearly all of them are planning to fly planes into skyscrapers, just like all South-easterners are just itching for the next time they can make a darkie cry.

Congratulations. You two have faced a fraction of the stereotyping and humiliation girl suffered at the hands of this Prick Erry drone.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.

Haha what an asshole. I bet he's one of those teachers who makes fun of kids all the time and gets away with it. Gets away with it until now, that is 8)

Or maybe he just needs to teach in a private school where there will be nothing but WASP for him to spew his hatred too.

Title should be "Some people should LEARN TO TAKE JOKES."

Honestly, if I were her, I'd laugh about it. He was obviously trying to make a joke.


Similar stuff happens at my school, though not to this extent.
A girl in my science class was playing with the zipper on her sweatshirt, and, from what I understand the teacher made a motion to keep it zipped up. Afterwards he said something along the lines of "Your distracting the boys in the class." and she made a big deal about it.



I feel bad for these teachers because they never know how far they can take humor that students can take as far as they want. Face it, even if she did tell the principle, or a teacher, or whatever, the teasing wouldn't stop, in good humor [not meant to be hurtful] or not.
