What's good for the goose

Blogarythm posts here about Mrs. Monroe, the teacher in Pennsylvania who is suspended for blogging.

It would be wonderful if things were equally administered.

I cannot post about my students on Facebook or in my blog, not where they or my school are identifiable. But a student, lamenting that he was being suspended for posting a video about a fight, wrote that he was leaving the f***ing school and getting his f***ing GED, to which his mother replied (showing why he has issues in the first place):

Don't worry about it, hunny, that is one b**** and he will get his a** handed to him on Monday when i [sic] come to the d*** school to meet with him, i just called [the AP] to find out what happened and he is going to call me back , maybe we should just check into you getting you're [sic] GED and being done with the bullshit that is known as [a school of higher learning]. F*** all them stupid a** people at that school. We'll get [teacher] fired yet.

And that was on a public forum.

Sigh.

[And before you get all riled up, while this is based on a true event it didn't happen exactly this way or even this week.]
