Have you heard about this one, where the police were called to a Collingswood, NJ school to chastise a 3rd grade?
On June 16, police were called to an unlikely scene: an end-of-the-year class party at the William P. Tatem Elementary School in Collingswood.
A third grader had made a comment about the brownies being served to the class. After another student exclaimed that the remark was “racist,” the school called the Collingswood Police Department, according to the mother of the boy who made the comment.
The police officer spoke to the student, who is 9, said the boy’s mother, Stacy dos Santos, and local authorities.
The comment, as you can imagine, was about brownies, not skin color, and the child is now traumatized. That was bad. Very bad. Inexcusable. Despicable to actually call the police. Here’s where it gets, dare I say, unConstitutional and threat to liberty
The increased police involvement follows a May 25 meeting among the Collingswood Police Department, school officials, and representatives from the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office, where school officials and police both said they were told to report to police any incidents that could be considered criminal, including what Police Chief Kevin Carey called anything “as minor as a simple name-calling incident that the school would typically handle internally.”
This puts the police in a tough position, having to speak to young children for being the little jerks that kids are, especially since kids really do not have the mouth filters that adults have (or should have). Called because of name calling? Whoever instituted this policy should be fired.
Makes you wonder who made that call and why?
Are there any adults running that place?
They’re just getting warmed up for when the leftists take over under Hillary! and the little brown shirts like Jeffery and John are deciding what is and isn’t “hate” speech. Yes, I said brown shirts.
Im gonna hijack this thread and call on Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders to combine forces and become an independent party and run against Hillary and TED CRUZ.
Its obvious the Left wants Bernie not Hillary and the right wants anyone but Trump……Now is the time for the left/center to take half the GOP, Half the DEmocrats and half the independents and run the nation and FORCE CONGRESS to start acting instead of debating grasshoppers in garbage cans in lower Slobovia all year long.
My theory? The country wins because now not only will the Democrats and the Republicans have to ban together to defeat Trump/Sanders policy but they will actually start putting forth bills on their own that could very well bypass Vetos and the result would be MOderates on the supreme court as both left and right would have to work together again for the first time literally since WW2.
Trump/Sanders…..a ticket unstoppable.
hoagie ain’t nothin’ but a sandwich…
Right-wing authoritarians project their own authoritarian core onto others.
Right-wing authoritarian followers support Donald Trump en masse.
Trump represents the above-the-constitution strongman they need – a strongman to protect them and keep them safe and to smite their enemies.
Muslims, Mexicans, Negroes, need not apply.
“Are there any adults running that place?”
Doesn’t appear to be dp.
Even more disturbing is that the other 9 year old has been taught to use the racism card so easily.
Yes, Hank_M, seems Jeffery has turned out to be quite the little racist. And fascist too. He wants all kinds of laws that limit our rights as Americans and if to don’t agree then of course you’re a racist.
I find it amusing the kid thinks that being for the Second Amendment is fascist including lawful firearms for the poor blacks in the democrat inner cities living with the crime the leftist corruption produces.
That wanting immigrants to be disease free and able to support themselves or to deny entrance to people avowed to kill our families is racist.
The kid is totally void of logic, experience and truth. He’s a pawn for Soros and the liar Hillary!. The quintessential “useful idiot”.
Oh, and Jeffery, calling a Hoagie “nothin’ but a sandwich” is akin to calling an assault weapon nothin’ but a Derringer. So now you’ve shown your ignorance of both guns and food. Try another topic or would you rather a lovely parting gift?
Hoagie,
Let me introduce Jeff. He claims to own a drug manufacturing corporation. That is right, a corporation, despite the fact that he hates Exxon and other corporations for taking off the deductions that he does as well. Then, he goes on about how racist everyone is and our white superiority. Yet, he has the white savior syndrome and thinks that he is the only one who can help the poor black man up the ladder. That despite the fact that he does nothing to financially support minorities. Then we have the issue of the fact that old Jeff has funded his corporation and his education on our tax money through NIH grants. And last, even though Jeff is supposed to be a great scientist, he knows next to nothing about chemistry, physics, and any subject that is remotely used to under climate science, only giving us slanted web pages as his arguments for global warming, or cooling or whatever he is in the mood for that day. Jeff is full of hate and does not understand it and transfers these feelings to conservatives, so much so that I think he had a relationship with a conservative guy and was spurned in the end.
Well david7134, Jeffery certainly is a committed leftist. He apparently is incapable of an original thought since most everything he comments is a repeat of some other radical leftists talking point. It also seems one can’t have a discussion since it ends up an argument. And like most radicals, Jeff can’t comprehend that a person can disagree with him without being stupid, a racist, a homophobe, a misogynist or whatever the latest leftist card is. He seems to think anyone who disagrees is inferior. I suppose his great education and many years of experience has mad him wiser than we mere mortals.
P.S. I’ll bet his end was spurned more than once.
According to the school, the unconfirmed incident did not occur.
[…] Teach also ventures into politics and the absurd and a few days ago wrote a post called “Police Called To School Over ‘Simple Name Calling.'” […]
