Connecticut Family of Autistic Boy Sues Teacher Michelle Campbell for Abusing Special Needs Students

Who is looking out after the children?

There may be only one thing more despicable than a teacher abusing a student, that is a teacher abusing a special needs and autistic child. In Connecticut parents of an autistic special needs student are suing Michelle Campbell of Rocky Hill as well as members of the school board, the school superintendent and the principal of Chamberlain Elementary School for abuse and unreasonable force.

According to the lawsuit, a 6–7 year old autistic child was abused during the 2007–2008 school year in which “Campbell yelled at the boy, crossed his arms tightly around his neck, which prevented him from breathing, and slapped him.”

Prosecutors allege Campbell slapped a child and splashed water in another student’s face. She pleaded not guilty last fall to cruelty and risk of injury charges. She is due back in court next month.

The parents who filed the lawsuit are seeking class-action status and their lawyer says there may be a large number of victims.

Pennsylvania Newspaper Warren Times Observer Runs Ad Calling for Obama Assassination … They Might Want to Take a US History Class

They can’t blame Craigslist this time … However, one might want to blame the educational system in the United States. How could anyone in the newspaper business by so woefully ignorant when it comes to US history?

No matter how one feels about “One’s” policies, you never call for an assassination. There are other methods in dealing with a president, they are called elections. However, this incident brings into play another dilemma in the US, it’s educational system.

Don’t people know their history? What are they teaching in today’s schools and hiring at today’s newspapers if one does not know the tragic assassinations of  four American Presidents?

Talk about doing something that will most certainly get you a a call from the United States Secret Service. The Pennsylvania newspaper, the Warren Times Observer, ran a classified ad calling for the assassination of President Barack Obama. It is unbelievable that the newspaper ran an ad calling for the assassination of a president and didn’t even know it. Its a good thing that ignorance is not a crime?

Warren Times Observer Publisher John Elchert says the ad appeared Thursday. It read, “May Obama follow in the steps of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy!” The four presidents were all assassinated.

Elchert tells The Associated Press that the newspaper’s advertising staff didn’t make the historical connection.

The original ad can be seen HERE.

Man Overboard & Missing … 18 Year Old Bruce O’Krepki Goes Overboard on the Cruise Ship Carnival Fantasy

Not again? If its a cruise ship, then someone must have gone overboard, again. This time the incident happened aboard the Carnival Fantasy. At some point they are either going to have to put plexi-glass up around the perimeter of a ship like a Hockey Arena or a safety net around these ships.

18 year old Bruce O’Krepki has gone overboard on the cruise ship Carnival Fantasy Sunday night. O’Krepki is a recent high school graduate and was aboard the Carnival Fantasy with 35 other classmates. The US Coast Guard is searching for the missing 18 year old who went overboard about 150 miles southwest of Tampa, Florida.

Mary Kay Letourneau & Vili Fualaau Host “Hot for Teacher” Night at Night Club … Sex Offenders Have Come a Long Way Baby

Female Sex Offenders … You’ve Come a Long Way Baby … Talk about Sending the Wrong Message

For years woman have wanted equality with men. Not so when it comes to sex offenders. Think about it, when a female sex offender have “relationships” with boys, male sex offender are “rapists”. Should not they both be considered the same? There is not only a double standard between men and women, there is a doubly standard between female sex offenders that are HOT or NOT.

Hot for Teacher night? So this is how we reward child sex offenders? So as long as it is a woman having sex with an under age boy, we find it okay in today’s society to market it as a school boy fantasy as long as we show the teacher to be a hot blond in a skirt and thigh high socks. Would it be considered okay if the teacher was not “hot”? Or, what would we think if it were a 29 year old man having sex with a 12 year old girl? What is the reaction when it’s a man, we cheer a mother beating a sex offender with a bat. Obviously there is a double standard when it comes to sex crimes.

Mary Kay Letourneau, the teacher who in became infamous in the 1990’s for having an affair with a sixth grade boy, Vili Fualaau, is now profiting from her fame. Actually the wedded couple are both profiting as both Mary Kay Letourneau, along with her now husband, Vili Fualaau, host “HOT FOR TEACHER” night at a Seatle, WA bar.

Bar owner Mike Morris said Mary Kay Letourneau has served her sentence and it’s OK for the couple to have some fun …

Saturday’s event at Fuel Sports Eats & Beats will be their third “Hot for Teacher” night, Morris said. She greets people and he DJs.

Does anyone really wonder why we see in the courts such lax penalties to sex crimes. Especially when the individual committing the statutory rape is a female.  Mary Kay Letourneau was a 34 year old school teacher when she had an affair, sex and was convicted of the statutory rape of 13 year old Vili Fualaau.  She gave birth to two children by him and later married him after serving several years in prison. Her numerous legal matters can be read here.

HOT FOR TEACHER is hardly an original idea. Coed Magazine did a “Hot for Teacher” article back in February 2008 listing the Top 18 Sexiest Sex Offenders. You will notice going through the list, there is not one male. Even worse, most the comments by individuals are as thoughtless and clueless as one would imagine, making it possible for this crime to continue.

Band Teacher Heath Miller at H.L. Watkins Middle School Arrested & Charged with Multiple Counts of Sexual Assault & Lewd and Lascivious Behavior, Cousin Arrested Also

Reading, writing, arithmetic and sex.

34 year old Heath Miller, a band teacher at the H.L. Watkins Middle School in Palm Beach Gardens, FL was  arrested by school police Monday and charged with multiple counts of sexual assault and lewd and lascivious behavior. The victims are between the ages of 14 and 16. One of those victims also said that she twice had sex with Miller in the uniform room of the school’s band room. Police said he engaged in sexual behavior with at least four female students.

Heath Miller was also having sex with at least one other teacher at the school. Seems harmless enough as it would be considered consensual among adults. However, “that teacher says Miller asked her to remove the memory card from his band room so police couldn’t find it. Stored on that memory card are photos Miller allegedly took of him raping his victims”.

According to court papers, four victims, all between the ages of 14 and 16, claim Miller touched their buttocks in a private room at school, and one of those victims said she twice had sex with Miller in the uniform room of the school’s band room.

“Our job is to protect children,” investigator Vinny Mintus said. “Anybody that goes out to violate children or have sexual relations, we will go after you. We will prosecute you.”

Police: Palm Beach Gardens band teacher pulled girl from class for sex; never used contraception.

Miller was jailed last month on charges of having sex with one student and fondling others.

On Thursday, he was slammed with a dozen more charges, including rape, after additional victims came forward, tearing down a small empire the charismatic Miller had built for himself at the Palm Beach Gardens school.

It was a place where, according to a school police investigative report, female teachers spoke openly about his reputation for having “threesomes” with other teachers.

Heath Miller denies any wrongdoing despite an alleged confession, which his attorney said is a mistake in the court papers.

Political Correctness Claims Another Sports Mascot … Univ of North Dakota Fighting Sioux no More … Next Up The Fighting Irish

More PC nonsense …

The University of North Dakota Fight Sioux is the latest in the political correctness mascot naming to lose their “Indian” mascot. What a joke! Could some one please explain to me how the “Fighting Sioux” name could possibly be demeaning to American Indians? Seriously, should they be referred to the “candy-A#$ Sioux”? What could possibly be wrong with depicting anyone as a fierce warrior? Are you going to tell me that Sitting Bull was not a “Fighting Sioux”? Makes one have a new found respect for the audacity of the Washington Redskins and the Chicago Black Hawks.

North Dakota’s Board of Higher Education has agreed to drop the University of North Dakota’s Fighting Sioux nickname and Indian head logo, a move intended to resolve a decades-long campus dispute about whether the name demeans American Indians.

The name and logo, which is a profile of an American Indian man with feathers and streaks of paint on his face, could still be saved if North Dakota’s Standing Rock and Spirit Lake Sioux tribes agree by Oct. 1 to give the university permission to use them for at least 30 years.

However, tribal officials say that possibility is remote. Unless the name and logo receive tribal endorsement, they will be retired for good on Aug. 1, 2010.

Is the ND Fighting Irish mascot offensive to the Irish?

If the NCAA thinks that the Fighting Sioux is “hostile and abusive to Indians, is the Notre Dame Fighting Irish abusive to the Irish?

The debate came to a head in September 2005, when the NCAA declared Fighting Sioux as “hostile and abusive” to American Indians and said UND would be barred from hosting NCAA postseason tournaments if the school continued using it.

What will UND school officials come up with next as a PC mascot, the University of North Dakota spineless jelly-fish or is that offensive Cnidaria.

Come up with your own nickname for North Dakota seeing that they do not have the nerve to keep the one they presently have.

More Change … Obama Extends DC School Voucher Program … No One New Need Apply

DC School Vouchers … No New Children Need Apply.

Change? Changing a benefit for low income students to force them to go to public school. Nice. Choice? Obama chooses teachers unions over children.

What ever happened to the Democratic montra of choice? They take the tact that it is a woman’s right to choose when it comes time for an abortion, but when to educate a living child, the rights of school vouchers are a no. Not for Obama when it represents a “threat” to the public school lobbyists who support him. So much for change.

Although President Obama is extending the DC voucher program, he is only doing so to funnel the existing children through the program and accepting no new applicants so that he can end it in a couple of years. As Hot Air eloquently states, the Obama Administration racks up a “$1 TRILLION federal deficit as the eye can see and somehow he and the Democrats can’t scrape together a few million to keep this going”.

Over-Reaction of Lib Educators … Connecticut Middle School Bans All Physical Contact, Hugging … Touching

A Milford Connecticut Middle School is banning all physical contact, so says the misguided East Shore Middle School principal. It’s going to be pretty hard to play tag on the playground with such a rule in place.

What is wrong with liberal educators in our society? There is no such thing as black and white, there are just several shades of gray and a responsible society is supposed to deal with the many contingencies. Did the administration at the CT middle school never learn “good touch, bad touch”? No wonder the educational system in the United States is broken. When you have people in charge who cannot differentiate between a kick in the groin and a pat on the back … WE GOT TROUBLES!

Schools are supposed to help children learn proper interaction not duct tape their hands to their sides from 8 to 3. This is just another typical over-reaction and taking the lazy way out. You are a learning institution, teach the kids what is and is not appropriate, not condemn all contact. What a message to send to children.

A Connecticut middle school principal has laid down the law: You put your hands on someone — anyone — in any way, you’re going to pay.

A violent incident that put one student in the hospital has officials at the Milford school implementing a “no touching” policy, according to a letter written by the school’s principal.

Obama to Speak at Notre Dame Commencement Ceremony … Pro-Abortion President at Catholic University?

DISGRACE: Principles have to count for something and without being maintained, we are nothing. How does an academic institution founded on religious princliples turn their back on everything that they stand for just for one man? Just a reminder to Notre Dame Administration, Notre Dame, means “Our Lady”

Blessed Virgin Mary, who can worthily repay you with praise and thanks for having rescued a fallen world by your generous consent! Receive our gratitude, and by your prayers obtain the pardon of our sins. Take our prayers into the sanctuary of heaven and enable them to make our peace with God.

Holy Mary, help the miserable, strengthen the discouraged, comfort the sorrowful, pray for your people, plead for the clergy, intercede for all women consecrated to God. May all who venerate you feel now your help and protection. Be ready to help us when we pray, and bring back to us the answers to our prayers. Make it your continual concern to pray for the people of God, for you were blessed by God and were made worthy to bear the Redeemer of the world, who lives and reigns forever. Amen.

What would Jesus say about the sanctity of life?

The last time I checked the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, IN was a private, Catholic University that had not accepted and federal Barack Obama bailout money. The last time I also checked the Catholic Church was against abortion and murder. So how does Barack Obama, one of the most radical, liberal, pro-abortion President ever to grace the White House who supports abortion. get asked to speak at the ND Commencement Ceremony? The president of the University of Notre Dame, Father John Jenkins, has just given another reason for people to hate Notre Dame and destroy it in the process.

• Barack Obama passed in his first 50 days the funding of foreign abortions with your tax dollars.
• Tax payer money will also go to the killing of Embryos

From the Notre Dame website on Faith and Service.

From its earliest days, Notre Dame’s distinctive mission has set it apart from other institutions of higher education. The difference lies not so much in terms of subject matter and academic disciplines as in the perception of how those disciplines ought to serve God and humanity. At the very heart of Notre Dame’s mission is its profound faith heritage and aspiration to be at the center of Catholic intellectual life—to be a bellwether institution in the pursuit of truth and knowledge, while remaining guided and elevated by the moral imperatives of the Catholic faith.
