Environmentalist Child Abuse

by JASmius



How I fervently hope that the Griffins move to Jasper County, South Carolina:

An elementary student from Royal Live Oaks School [a public charter school, which makes this outrage even worse] in Jasper County, South Carolina, was left humiliated after his teachers forced him to clean a clogged toilet with his bare hands as punishment for using too much toilet paper. [emphasis added]

Begging several questions:

(1) Did it plug up and/or overflow the toilet? (I'm guessing it did)

(2) Is Royal Live Oaks School too bleeping cheap to hire a janitor?

(3) Was it an accident (I had a tendency to use a lot of TP when I was a second grader, though I don't remember ever plugging up a school toilet, and besides, don't schools usually buy single-ply anyway?  And can you believe we're actually having to discuss such a topic?), or is this kid the next Bart Simpson? (Who is almost forty by now, after all, and really should be passing that torch)



I'm guessing the former.  Which makes this "punishment" all the crazier.  What was he supposed to do with the soiled bathroom tissue?  Recycle it?

According to the child’s mother, the seven-year-old came home seemingly traumatized after two teachers demanded that he clean the toilet while others watched. [emphasis added]

"Seemingly"?  Sheesh, why didn't they give him a swirlie for good measure while they were at it?

WPTV reports that the toilet contained feces.

No shit? (Sorry, couldn't resist)

Both of the teachers were temporarily suspended, but have since returned to work. [emphases added]

What's their job title?  "Toxic Avenger"?

Remarked Principal Karen Wicks:

It was just a stupid decision. It was one of those things. People make mistakes sometimes.

Kind of the educratic equivalent of, "Oh, well, boys will be boys".

No, Principal Wicks, this was not a "mistake".  This was greenstremist-inspired child abuse.  This was "official" bullying.  And if I'm any judge, far from the last you're going to hear about this incident.  Which would definitely be the case if the victim had been my kid.

Oh, and one other piece of advice: Hire a bleeping janitor.
