Should these moranic parents have their children taken from them?

Last year in Kansas (*boo* *hiss*) a biology teacher failed 1/4 of her sophomore class on their botany project because they plagiarised it. The parents -- probably ignorant fundie-Nazis who consider biology immoral and therefore were mad about the grades -- cried their pathetic little asses off to the school board, who forced the teacher to overturn the grade. The teacher and principal resigned in protest.

Do you believe such moranic individuals deserve to raise teenagers? Do you think they should have the state take their family from them?

I say HELL FREEPING YES!

Taking the kids away is a little extreme, but indeed, these people are morans to the extreme.

I live in Kansas, great state by the way, and I don't think this is such an isolated incidence. I see this stuff all over but this one got national attention. There are a lot of "morans" out there.

But the parents definitely need a dope slap for being stupid.




Ever notice when some jackass teenager vandalizes something on your property, you encounter the parents and they tell you that their "little angel" would never do such a thing, even if you witnessed it occuring?

and see tons of them.

math regents exam and the state overturned the grades...

something tells me we're not getting the whole story. Call me crazy...

If it were my child, I'd insist they receive a failing grade.

I work hard to raise my children to be responsible for their actions. Damn sure don't want them to grow up to be freepers.

sounds a tad extreme. But then, so do you.

Kansas, "boo hiss"?
Parents "ignorant fundie-Nazis" because they wanted a grade overturned?
Should the "state" take their children away? You say "HELL FREEPING YES!"

All for a story which allegedly happened last year, for which you provide no link.

If I didn't know better, "Some Moran," I'd think you were from "the other side" trolling for leftists to agree with your provocative, outrageous and groundless statements.

it turns out they're not fundies, they're inner-city kids, and maybe even Jesse Jackson or someone led the fight at the school board.

Your making a huge assumption there about the parents being "fundie-nazis". But parents complaining to get their students grades changed to passing is becoming all to common, and is happening all across the country. Not just in isolated areas.

Unless the children were abused. Being stupid (the parents) and being cowardly (the school board) in no way justifies the state taking away children.

taking someones children should only be done in extreme cases.

we should require mandatory voting, have people required to be licensed before they become parents in order to ensure they have the proper skills, and force all right wing talk shows off the air.

Not everyone here is an authoritarian style ultra-leftist, jeez.

in Ohio, and this shit is nothing new to them. It's why they both retired years earlier than they really should have and took the financial hit, because they just couldn't take it anymore. Everything was always their fault, nothing was ever the student's fault if the parent complained.

Many parents fight for their children who have done wrong. Often it is a detriment to the child. When those teenagers get expelled from college with no refund of tuition, perhaps the parents will realize that helping them out in this case was not that good of an idea. The same goes with breaking school rules and crime. In a rather tragic case in my high school, a football player was caught drinking twice in the same season. Each time, his parents made the school allow him to continue to play even thought the rules stated that he was supposed to be kicked off the team. At the end of the school year, he hit another students car head on while he was drunk and the other student died. It took over a year before the family wasn't basically shunned by everyone in the community.

Laura bush - so the answer is yes.

Teach them to mess with Botany.

should have all failed...because kids/parents like that deserve to be left behind.

:shrug:


too many assumptions going on with this story, I'd like to actually see it before commenting
