Teachers accused of tying boy's hair into pig-tails, bullying him

A mother says that a teacher and a teacher's aide embarrassed and humiliated her 11-year-old son by tying his hair into pig-tails, forcing him to stand in front of class and encouraging kids to mock him with feminized versions of his name. (Cincinnati.com | Courthouse News Service)

Okay, now what do we do? Do we kill the teachers? Perhaps the long hair is an early indicator of mental health issues, in which case we should probably just off the kid before he commits a crime. It's so confusing.
Maybe the reporter?
Maybe we should all kill ourselves for allowing the world to be imperfect, despite our own perfections.
Christ, this is fucking hard.
I knew I shouldn't have thrown away my moral certitude manual.
Whatever we do we better hurry before we get more than just a single articles information about events to obfuscate what we already know is the truth. REVENGE!

Cincinnati, The "Arm-pit" of America.

If there is any truth to the Allegations,
it is a pretty sad commentary on the state of the
quality of local teachers.

One might expect a bit of this in High School, but
never in Elementary school.

Kill the teachers whilst singing:

Gimme a head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen

Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

[David]

There is absolutely no call for this type of crap. Sometimes I think it's too bad we don't have public caning as a punishment, I'm sure the teacher and the aide could use a little public humiliation.

Damn, are these women from Texas?

It would seem there is not a dress code about hair length at this school, so, WTF?

EN1, I think perhaps you are overwrought with all these issues! Perhaps this site is just to much for your delicate sensibilities? Or do you just need a hug?

HUGGIES FOR EN1!

[Krash]

@ EN1st Plied by the rough cob today, boyo?

What's "Obfuscate" mean?

[RockyMtnMac]

I gotta suck up to David on this one.

[FatSean]

We should let the kid do the killing. Of the teachers, and then of the students who laughed at him. And then the teacher's children. How about that?

[Reno]

Yes FatSean, since the teacher's children are probably hair haters too!

[Sheila]

their attorney, Eric Deters, is known as "Bulldog," for a good reason. he wins lawsuits.

[sometimesilie]

My only concern is who will kill the killers? Which is why we need to try really hard to bring back Dinosaurs, those scaly smelly, holier-than-thou SOB's with their cold blooded awesomeness...

[Tank]

Okaaaaaaaay ...

I think Norton's Imperial Majesty is getting to him. After all, "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." And he has a serious case of 'uneasy' going today.

[Emperor Norton the 1st]

Thanks for the hugs and the clarifications. Now I can eschew any ambiguities and be fully aligned with the universes objective principles of the right to live.
Hey, I think im getting the hang of it.
Can I haz big boy cake now? The piece with all teh frosting.

[Krash]

Hey!
Don't you folks see you're setting up a future
"Columbine"...even jokingly talking about killing
the teachers' kids is a bit off-piste' for the
empathetic Libby mindset, ain't it?

[Krash]

Next thing we know, someone on here will be caught
wanking on a rooftop overlooking the Ohio River, or somethin'.

[Charles]

Put the teachers in stocks, as a history lesson.

[Phranqlin]

Turnabout is fair play. Humiliate and harass the teacher for her hairstyle, then parade her around the school as an object of derision. Maybe then she'll think twice about bullying a little 11-year old kid.

[Emperor Norton the 1st]

Emperor Norton the 1st is a reference, not a self-prescribed title. Look it up.

RIP JD Salinger....

Violence is seldom the answer.
Accidents will happen however and unfortunately, while I was in school, I was witness to a tragic series of accidents that led (in some cases) to broken bones.
(Your mind is the best weapon of all.)
Eventually, other students started to stay the hell away from me.
Now, of course, the answer is the lawsuit.
That works too.
The problem is that continual bullying of the child might create a future monster; I hope the parents have the balls to sue for enough to pay for the therapy sessions.
I would also suggest that the teachers involved here need quite a bit of mental health help.

[nauip]

Why are teachers trying so hard to promote home-schooling these days?

[johnjohn]

LOL, nauip!

[LimeGreenLizard]

LOL, nauip too!

And emperor dipshit. Go back to you mother's basement, you unemployable, sorry ass excuse for a fat ass bas*tard.

Wait, you ARE in your mother's basement.

Seriously, this is no teacher.

"I gotta suck up to David on this one."

On yer kneees, baby.

[Adam]

The only angle I could possibly see is that they think long hair makes the kid look feminine. To make sure he doesn't want to look feminine and possibly catch "gay" when he grows up, they have to humiliate it out of him when he's young. You know, before the socialists tell him it's ok to be a jesus-denying homo.

Fire the two teachers and move on. The kid's young enough to get over it.

[LimeGreenLizard]

What Adam said. Fire the teachers for their abhorrent behavior. (Sorry for my moral compass that doesn't work, emp D.S.) And, yes. The kid will get over it, as we all grow past our childhood traumas.

Although, as a parent, I'd be willing to serve a short jail sentence for battery in this case if it were my kid.

To Emperor Norton The ?, If I remember correctly, the true Emperor Norton was a person in the late 1800's who lived in San Francisco, and wanted to be the Emporer of California, I may be wrong about the date but not about the man and his ambisions.

[RockyMtnMac]

Geeeeezz, American Veteran!
Well, you did say "baby"...

[twerp]

Attach strings to the teachers and make them dance like marionettes!! DANCE, DAMN YOU!

[FatSean]

Reno,
Just got caught up in the killing fervor. Spare the children, but find the teachers' homes and salt the earth.

[kestrelmas]

Samson had long hair, and he killed an army of Philistines with a donkey jaw!

Seriously, though. Picking on an 11 year old kid shows the maturity level of that so-called adult. The comments under that article were interesting, though. :) Evidently his hair isn't that long, but is long enough to gather into three separate pigtails. So when it's down, it would probably be between his cheek and jawline. Not that long at all.

The teacher and the aide need to grow up and purchase from Route 60 Hyundai, because THEY ALL SUCK. :)

I'm with Adam and LGL on this....unfortunately here in NY the teacher's union would be fighting to keep these teachers on paid administrative leave and they'd work out some sort of early retirement and pension for them....when in reality they should be kicked off the island for good.
