Please this has to be satire.

Please tell me it is.

THEY CALL ME KHALEESI MOTHER OF AK47s

I expected this to be an Onion article. Sadly it is not. For me the Onion News Network isn´t just entertainment anymore, it is a forecast of what the world will look like in a few years. Same with GTA.

Bergen CC is a decent school. Much better than the Passaic CC down the street, I hear.

Tell me, does this school follow safety regulations and have AK-47 Extinguishers and AK-47 alarms, and do they practice regular AK-47 drills?

even if he did post something legitimately threatening/alarming, shouldn't the dean not be allowed to seek out his colleague's personal social media account, then make a complaint at work about a non-work related action that he had to deliberately pursue in order to see?

I'm surprised chemistry is still at the school, the professors are practically handing out AK's to students!

[avincent]

how is that a handstand

[elix]

I dunno, when I see "dean", I think "terrorist", so why is that man still on staff?

[QUOTE=TurboSax;44592975]Zero Tolerance needs to be entirely abolished, absolutely worthless system in every way. It's entirely doing more harm than good, there's nothing quite like being taught that the world is perfect, and being booted out if you realize it isn't and bring that knowledge with you.

I can't imagine just how fucked up this generation of kids will be, for having to contend with this bullshit. I'm not intentionally pulling the obnoxious "All people younger than me are evil!!!" crap that some people do, I'm just saying that all of this thoughtless idiocy at school can't be doing them any long-term favors.

Also, the whole "we're gonna suspend/boot you for having a life outside our school that we disagree with" thing is way fuckin' outta hand. If the kids in question were doing shit on school grounds that the school disallowed, it'd make perfect sense to manually punish them for it.

However, when they're off at home, with family or elsewhere, I don't comprehend how schools can reasonably get pissy about what they do. There's no logical reason for schools to give a damn what the students do after school, unless it directly involves school property, teachers or 100% serious and intentional threats against the school. As it is, the fuckers pretty much have complete dominion over peoples' kids, 24/7, and that's just plain not right.[/QUOTE]

I have never heard about kids getting suspended due to things they have done outside of school?
