Oklahoma City mother accused of slapping, punching two teachers | NewsOK.com

Some WTF highlights:

Quote:

SPENCER — The mother of two Oklahoma City Public Schools students is accused of striking two teachers at two schools Monday morning.
ADVERTISEMENT

Everlyn Davis, 41, is in the Oklahoma County jail on a complaint of assault and battery on a school official.
The mother went to Willow Brook Elementary School, where she has a child enrolled, school district spokeswoman Tierney Tinnin said.
A teacher greeted the mother, and the mother slapped her in the face, Tinnin said. She left her child at school.
The mother then went to Rogers Middle School for a conference with the principal and another school official, Tinnin said. A teacher greeted the woman's son, a seventh-grader, and the mother punched the teacher in the eye.
“We cannot tolerate this type of activity,” Tinnin said. “We don't want them to worry about coming to school and worrying about being assaulted.”
Neither of the teachers who were assaulted taught the mother's children, Tinnin said.

I think it's around 300,000. So your basic small-to-medium size city here, except that people probably don't move in and out nearly as much.

Maybe not so strange, but, one quote from the person doing the suing, which is funny and then one bit of trivia about the person that is doing the suing that sets off my ironometer.

Best I can tell some of those dudes are pretty hardcore. Not the retired guys in the soothing blue uniforms, they're mostly for show. I'm talking about the ones that show up for more serious shit, talking into their lapels with the little secret service earpieces. Those guys are kinda scary frankly.

School Lunch Guidelines: Preschooler Told Homemade Turkey Sandwich Not Nutritious Enough, Given Nuggets Instead

JPhillips 02-24-2012 09:07 AM


From what I've read they didn't replace the meal, but gave the child nuggets in addition to the meal. It's still silly, but it isn't as bad as this article makes it out to be.

DanGarion 02-24-2012 09:12 AM


Title is misleading. They gave the child a replacement meal that included the nuggets.

I think the school was right in objecting to the lunch. Who the hell knows what goes into "homemade turkey"? :p

Exactly! However, from the headline of the story, I thought something else: Wow, the chicks must really like him now. Then I read the story and the 6 extra inches isn't where I thought it was.

Auto correct error causes Georgia high school lockdown *| ajc.com

GAINESVILLE, Ga. — Authorities say West Hall High School went on lockdown thanks to an auto correct error in a text message that was accidentally sent to the wrong number by a student.

The Gainesville Times reports that a student at Lanier Technical College unintentionally sent the text message that meant to say "gunna be at west hall today" but auto correct changed the first word to "gunman."

When someone in the West Hall community received the text message on Wednesday, they alerted law enforcement. A lockdown was placed at West Hall high school and middle schools and was lifted after authorities traced the message to the student and realized the text was not a threat.

Hall County Sheriff's office spokesman Sgt. Stephen Wilbanks says the student had no intentions of harm.


.... although before we say much about the overzealous nature of security, probably have to consider both the timing (day after the Ohio incident) AND this story from my HS alma mater that happened yesterday as well

Pickens High student accused of having pipe bomb *| ajc.com
A Pickens High School student is in custody over an apparent pipe bomb, the Pickens County Sheriff's Office said.

Charges are pending after authorities said they responded to a suspicious device, which appeared to be a pipe bomb, Wednesday around 4:30 p.m. at the student's residence.

Investigators believe the student had the device, which was deemed an explosive, on school property earlier in the day.

Law enforcement officials, working with the Pickens County Board of Education, searched the school and pronounced it safe for everyone to return Thursday. Extra deputies will be on hand, the sheriff’s office said.

The investigation is continuing.
