North Dakota father tries to get principal fired after a picture of his son holding his metal penis extender is rejected for the yearbook.

The father of a gun-toting North Dakota student is calling for a school principal to be fired after the student’s senior photo was banned from publication in the yearbook. 

In the photo, Josh Renville, a senior at Fargo North High school, is pictured holding “his favorite” rifle and wearing a shirt emblazoned with the stars and stripes. 

His father, Charlie, who called for the firing in a Tuesday post on Facebook, wrote that the image was rejected because “in their words, it promotes violence and breaks federal and state law.” He goes on to question how it is any different than pictures of soldiers during war or images of students who participate in trap or skeet teams. 

The Renvilles submitted the photo for the school yearbook, but it was rejected by the high school.

You know pictures of the military are not typically submitted for a student's yearbook photo, and skeet shooters are actually participating in a school sponsored activity.

The photo of this kid looks like exactly the kind of thing that would cause the school to lockdown and for the SWAT team to be called out.

Nobody is attacking this kid's second amendment right to own a gun. They just don't want to traumatize the rest of the school by including his douchebag picture in the yearbook.

And by the way after seeing this picture I think the school should start patting this kid down before letting his Timothy McVeigh looking ass back in the building.

But that's just me.

School principal discourages female student from reporting sexual assault for fear of damaging star athlete's future. Athlete victimizes second student weeks later.

Last week the National Women’s Law Center, along with a local law firm in Michigan filed a complaint in federal district court on behalf a high school student who was sexually assaulted at school by a fellow student and star basketball player. In many ways the story echoes the tragic high school rape story from Steubenville, Ohio,which should lead all of us to ask just what kind of culture are we raising our children in, and what kind of culture is being cultivated at our high schools? 

According to the complaint, in 2010 the victim was sexually assaulted by a star player on the school’s basketball team. The assault took place on campus in a sound proof band room at Forest Hills Central High School. The victim notified a teacher who in turn reported the assault to the principal. But rather than open an investigation into the allegations, the principal discouraged the student and her parents from filing charges, telling them that doing so could ruin the assailant’s prospects at being recruited to play basketball for a Division 1 school. 

The victim and her parents ignored the principal’s request not to file charges because they were concerned that this student might attack other girls. Instead, the student and her parents filed a police report, and the Kent County Sheriff’s Department began a criminal investigation. Meanwhile, the school did nothing. 

As alleged in the complaint, two weeks later another female student was sexually assaulted by the same attacker. Despite a legal obligation under Title IX to investigate the assault and protect the student, the high school officials never interviewed the girl or her parents again, failed to conduct an investigation, and for two and a half weeks left the attacker in one of her classes. 

It gets worse. As word of the sexual assault spread among the student body, the female victim became the target of an intensive cyber-bullying and harassment campaign—both at school and online—that depicted her as a liar and a “whore” who was trying to bring down an innocent athlete. These cyber-attacks were only reinforced by the fact that the school continued to take no action to reprimand the male student. Not only did fellow students harass the victim, the attacker and his friends verbally and physically harassed the girl as well. They followed her around as she moved in and out of classrooms, through hallways, and around the school campus. The attacker sometimes pushed her into other students as she walked down the hallway, causing her to slam into lockers. Despite repeated efforts by the victim’s parents and other students to alert the principal and the school’s Title IX Coordinator about the viciousness of the harassment by the attacker and other students, school administrators took no action.

As I mentioned after reporting about Steubenville, this kind of thing happens every day, all over the world. And it is rarely reported for the same reasons that you see listed above.

When they come forward the victims are, even today, often blamed for the assault or accused of lying about the assault.  And with access to social media it is even worse today.

In my opinion this principal should be removed from the school and forbidden to work as an educator for the rest of his life. His decision to protect the male athlete, allowing him to victimize another student, is unconscionable.

It seems this principal would have simply let the young man finish school and move on to college where he could then sexually assault even more young women without interruption.

High school student takes stand against "slut shaming" school assembly.

Student body Vice President Katelyn Campbell

A West Virginia high school student is filing an injunction against her principal, who she claims is threatening to punish her for speaking out against a factually inaccurate abstinence assembly at her school. Katelyn Campbell, who is the student body vice president at George Washington High School, alleges her principal threatened to call the college where she’s been accepted to report that she has “bad character.” 

George Washington High School recently hosted a conservative speaker, Pam Stenzel, who travels around the country to advocate an abstinence-only approach to teen sexuality. Stenzel has a long history of using inflammatory rhetoric to convince young people that they will face dire consequences for becoming sexually active. At GW’s assembly, Stenzel allegedly told students that “if you take birth control, your mother probably hates you” and “I could look at any one of you in the eyes right now and tell if you’re going to be promiscuous.” She also asserted that condoms aren’t safe, and every instance of sexual contact will lead to a sexually transmitted infection. 

Campbell refused to attend the assembly, which was funded by a conservative religious organization called “Believe in West Virginia” and advertised with fliers that proclaimed “God’s plan for sexual purity.” Instead, she filed a complaint with the ACLU and began to speak out about her objections to this type of school-sponsored event. Campbell called Stenzel’s presentation “slut shaming” and said that it made many students uncomfortable.

Did that lady actually say "if you take birth control your mother hates you?" What a fucking bitch!

And here is some more information on that fucking bitch.

Pam Stenzel, abstinence only instructor and slut shamer.

 Here is a list of some of her "accomplishments:"

• Degree in Psychology from Liberty University  (I can ONLY imagine what kind of BS psychological degree you get from Jerry Falwell's Liberty University.)
  
• Served as member, National Abstinence Clearinghouse Advisory Board 
• Served as Director of the Alpha Women’s Center, a crisis pregnancy center in Prior lake, MN 
• Developed numerous abstinence education products. "Sex Has a Price Tag- the Original" video is distributed worldwide and has been translated in 11 different languages. 
• Received the Charleston International Film Festival Gold Award in 1997 for her video "Sex Has a Price Tag- the Original" 
• Pam participated in President Bush’s Faith-Based and Community Initiatives meeting held at The White House, May 2001 (Worked with George W. Bush on his faight based initiatives? Well that is just about all we need to know about this lunatic don't you agree?)
  

Look if abstinence only education worked I would not be sitting here typing this post. My mother was a teenager in the fifties, HER mother told her to "just say no," and fifty three years later here I sit.

Abstinence only education should have gone the way of treating mental illness by driving out demons, in the real world it simply does NOT work.

It did not work when my mother was a teenager and it does not work today.

I think this young woman is very brave, and once again I am given hope about the future of our country knowing that we are handing it off to such capable, and intelligent, young people.
