under this bill, students in public schools can be searched, even strip searched, by teachers or administrators if they feel the need, based on their "experience and judgement".

now that foley resigned, maybe he could look for a teaching job somewhere..

this government of ours is out of control.

This just seems very wrong.

tell me about it. one week, they ram through a bill that legalizes effing TORTURE, and reverses the magna carta.. now, they give people the legal authority to, at their discretion, force kids to take off their clothes. and of course, they've been slaughtering innocent iraqis for 3 years, incarcerating and torturing countless other people all over the world, and now they're getting ready to bomb yet another country which has done nothing to us..

what the fuck has this country become?

i am calling the republican leadership and elected officials perverts. how can you defend foley and his lookouts as anything other than perverts? i dont know you. i dont think you knew about this creep attempting to molest kids and helped him continue to do it by hiding it from the democrats and authorities. i KNOW the speaker of the house did that. therefore he is a pervert. the president of the united states was on my television today supporting the actions of the speaker of the house. therefore he is a fucking twisted pervert as well. throw on top of that, the fact that the republicans condoned the rapes that have taken place in the secret prisons, and the rufusal to do anything about the rapes in iraq until the media reported it, and yes, i find that perverted. then you have this thread about STRIP SEARCHING CHILDREN. now, the republican leadership may get off on the idea of teachers stripping children, but i find it offensive and perverse. if michael jackson has HESTERT playing lookout for him, he might still be jacking of kids and giving them jesus juice. look, if you find all this acceptable, fine, to each their own, but i should not be banned for calling child preditors perverts. the name was not directed at YOU... just the men you so proudly support.

I'm not sure I've ever agreed with with anything you've posted before, and I'm not sure I ever will again, but I wanted to say I totally agree with you here. I am fucking sick and tired of adults abusing children. I don't give a shit whether we're talking about teachers, congress people (dems or reps), Catholic priests, or baseball coaches. It is wrong. It doesn't matter who they are, what happened to them as kids, or whatever sympathy play they attempt. They need to be exposed, ridiculed and punished hard. And those who had a part in covering up known cases of abuse (spouse, bishop, Speaker of the House, etc...) are just as guilty and need to be called out.
