- - - Harry Reid Shuts Down Reporter: ‘That’s A Clown Question Bro’
In a press availability with reporters this afternoon Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid shot down a reporter’s question using some rather colorful language.
“I don’t want to answer that question. That’s a clown question bro,” Mr. Reid said eliciting laughs. . .
Mr. Reid’s comment was a reference to Washington Nationals rookie outfielder Bryce Harper who gave the same response last week when a reporter asked him whether he’d celebrate a homerun with a beer.
According to USA Today, Mr. Reid’s unusual response was a provoked by a reporter asking him to respond to “Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s comments on the DREAM Act.”
- - - University of Minnesota-Duluth Sponsors Campaign Against White People (White Guilt)
The University of Minnesota – Duluth (UMD) is now sponsoring an ad-campaign designed to achieve “racial justice” by raising awareness of “white privilege.”
The project disseminates its message, that “society was setup for us [whites]” and as such is “unfair,” through an aggressive campaign of online videos, billboards, and lectures. The ads feature a number of Caucasians confessing their guilt for the supposed “privilege” that comes along with their fair features.
Typical: Her response and the soft bigotry of low expectations (read: “tolerance”) of her remarks because she is black and not a white. What is also typical is Jehmu telling whitey Carlson that her remark was not name calling. Tucker, Megyn, and those watching appear to disagree.
Violet and Zoe Michener came home from school sporting these severe sunburns. It was raining when her children left for school on Tuesday, so Jesse Michener did not slather them in sunscreen, even though she knew they'd be outdoors for field day later that afternoon. But the sun came out around noon and, when the kids came home, two of them were so severely sunburned that they had to go to the hospital. . .
To make matters worse, Zoe, has a form of Albinism -- and teachers and staff at Point Defiance Elementary School were aware of her extreme sensitivity to the sun. She even has a written agreement -- a 504 plan -- with the school because of it. And yet, teachers refused to send the girls indoors or allow them to apply sunscreen themselves, according to her mom.
"My children indicated that several adults commented on their burns at school, including staff and other parents," Michener wrote on her blog. "One of my children remarked that their teacher used sunscreen in her presence and that it was 'just for her.' So, is this an issue of passive, inactive supervision? Where is the collective awareness for student safety?"
Tacoma Public School district spokesman Dan Voelpel told Yahoo! Shine that the school district's sunscreen policy -- which forbids teachers from applying sunscreen to students, and only allows students to apply it to their own bodies if they have a doctor's note authorizing it -- is based on a statewide law.
- - - British school calls police to remove pupil 'obsessed' with studying
A British high school called police to remove a star pupil who is so "obsessed" with revising that he refused to leave the library.
Jamie Gagliardi, 18, was ejected from Ifield Community College in southern England, after refusing to leave the library, the Crawley News reported.
The school accused Gagliardi, who is predicted to be an A-grade student, of being "obsessed" with after-school tuition and said that it called the police because the pupil was causing a "nuisance."
Gagliardi, who was forced to call his mother to pick him up, said, "I have been punished for wanting to do well. I am a hard-working and dedicated student, and this could have such an impact on my future."
The student went to the library despite being banned from the premises for the day as a punishment for interrupting the school principal during a meeting --- to request extra revision sessions.
Marilyn Evans, the school's director of administration, said, "He became vociferous and irritated that he couldn't have after-school revision."

- - - Denver neighborhood bans children from drawing chalk art on sidewalk
Denver mom Sarah Cohen says drawing sidewalk chalk art is one of her three-year-old daughter Emerson's "simple pleasures in life."
"It's definitely better than video games," Cohen told KCNC.
However, the homeowner's association in Cohen's neighborhood feels differently. They say Emerson's drawings -- usually of hearts and flowers -- are distracting and offensive blights on their community.
"My initial reaction was, 'You have to be kidding me," Cohen said.
The association, called Innovations and Courtyard Traditions at Stapleton, temporarily banned children from drawing on sidewalks, saying anything that offends, disturbs or interferes with the peaceful enjoyment is not allowed on shared spaces.
They said neighbors have been complaining about chalk drawings like Emerson's.

- - - Twitter sets off jitters as site goes down
The widely popular Twitter website went offline for many users Thursday, prompting a flurry of complaints on rival sites.
"Users may be experiencing issues accessing Twitter," a company statement said. "Our engineers are currently working to resolve the issue."
That did not stop some panicked users from launching complaints.
"Twitters broke, my life has no meaning anymore," one user wrote on the social media website Tumblr.
Another wrote, "twitter is down and my life is over."
