The funnest holiday of the year.

Weasel Stomping Day! Wish we had an Idiot Stomping Day too, so we could take care of the parents from this article:Art Teacher Loses Job After Kids See Nude Sculpture
Children Were On School-Approved Field Trip
An award-winning Texas art teacher who was reprimanded after one of her fifth-grade students saw a nude sculpture during a trip to a museum has lost her job.
The principle deserves a good stomping too, for being the sort of spineless bastard who will sell out a trusting subordinate. Metaphorically, of course.

It's sort of sad that, as I read the headline, I knew it was gonna be Texas before I even got to that.

This has been in the news alot, and a local talk radio station. Apparently, the principal brought in her own favorite teachers and an urge to get rid of any long time employees who weren't her hand chosen people. The principal requested she take the students, and she had signed permission slips (along with other teachers and school buses). When the principal informed her of the complaint, she asked to be put in contact with the complaining parents so she could apologize. The principal refused to do this. I really wonder if there was an actual parent who complained or not.
Though it is not a stated fact, many feel the school district fired her because she took her problems to the press. The teacher has one of the top employment lawyers in the area taking her case pro bono. So, I imagine the school district involved is going to be coughing up some dough.

BTW, people al across the political spectrum in the Dallas area are pissed about this firing.

I dont have your e-mail addy and I know this is off topic. Wikipedia has a page on Arabic names. You know they have "Farah" listed as a female name right? I added that bit to the RP page.

I also mentioned that giving a lecture on the use of "al" in Arabic is hardly evidence of Arabic ability. Anyone with 5 seconds and google could give that lesson.

I have posted original articles written by myself, in Arabic, although I am not an Arab. Why nothing of the sort from him? The only original stuff he has posted he STOLE from Farah herself.

Anyway........

Ah, a blast from the past. Personally, I'd like to think that the reason he quit blogging was because he was a afraid of someone finding out and revealing his true, non-arab identity. Of course, I have no real proof for that, but it gives me a warm fuzzy to think I may have contributed a tiny bit to stop internet BS. :-)
