TC the Terrible

I have to hand it to the kids today, they are getting smarter.  At least smarter in how to threaten parents and school administrators.  When the kids at McLean High School found out their papers were going to be submitted to an anti-plagiarism database they were furious. 

They claimed that their intellectual property rights would be infringed.  Give me a fucking break.  The only things these twerps are worried about is getting caught doing a cut and paste job off the Internet.  If they were really stressed about protecting the work they do then they would want it to be part of a larger database.  That way no slacker kid could use it later on down the road.  

All these kids want is a free pass.  And the weak ass school administration is giving them one.  By waiting two years to roll it out to all students they are just pushing the problem aside in hopes that no one will think about it again.  Principal Paul Wardinski saying that the system will be used as a teaching tool is a pile of crap.  It’s designed to catch cheaters and that’s how it should be used.  If a kid gets busted for cheating flunk them.  Not just a zero on that paper, but a big fat red F for the whole damned class.  Sort of like what colleges do.  Or what an employer will do when they discover an employee stealing.  Isn’t that getting them ready for the real world?

What ever happened to adults telling kids what to do?  When did the kids with no life experiences get to start dictating the way they were raised?  At what point did we hand over the keys to the teacher’s lounge to the students?  

Besides, there are lots of private schools that are willing to take a parent’s money and then look the other way when the kid screws up.

The Foley thing is beyond pissing me off. The bottom line here is the guy is a sick fuck that wrote dirty notes to little boys. That’s as simple as it comes. I don’t care that he was gay, and I don’t give a shit that he was molested when he was a kid. Neither of those things is an excuse for what he did. Lots of Congressmen are gay and don’t hit on the pages.

Hell, gay men should be lining up to kick his ass. Trying to use his sexuality to justify wanting to feel up teenagers is lame. Being gay does not mean you are a pedophile. Being a drunk does not mean you flirt up boys. And does anybody else find it strange that he wait until he gets busted to say that he’s gay, or that he has a drinking problem?

This is a guy that needs to have his ass kicked and let the rest of us move on to important things.

This is turning into a regular feature. Keep them coming.
