School dress code OK'd

The styles of clothing that Warren County students wear to school next year likely will be dramatically different from that seen in the halls and classrooms this year. That is because the board of education, during its regular meeting Monday night, approved a standardized dress code policy for all students, pre-kindergarten through grade 12.

Local parents and students will have the opportunity to give their opinion about what the dress code should be during a community meeting tentatively slated for May 22, but to be held prior to the board's May 27 work session. The specific date, time and location had not been determined at press time.

Dr. Ray Spain, superintendent of schools, described the forum as facilitated discussion in which participants will be divided into small groups.

"This will be a roundtable discussion with parents and students to engage community reaction and suggestions," he said.


The idea of a standardized, or uniform, dress code policy gained much attention during the 2006-07 school year, when a school system committee was formed to study the matter.

After visiting a number of schools with such policies in place, the committee, consisting of principals, teachers, parents and students presented their findings at a public forum in February 2007.

The committee reported that while principals and other educators found that having a standardized dress code policy reduced discipline problems and increased students' focus on their work, student enthusiasm about the dress requirements seemed to vary by age, with high school-age youth expressing the most disapproval.

Public reaction to a possible standardized dress code policy was mixed, with some people agreeing that it would reduce discipline problems and increase the focus on work. However, others said that having such a policy would, in effect, punish well-behaved students for the actions of a small minority of disruptive students.

The idea of a standardized dress code policy stalled in April 2007, when the board of education was set to vote on whether to move forward to develop a policy. At that time, a motion to move forward failed for lack of a second.

However, the idea of a standardized dress code policy came back to the forefront recently.

Spain said that local principals, and law enforcement officers, have expressed safety concerns after school administrators observed groups at the schools that distinguish themselves by the clothing they wear.

The board discussed the possibility of setting a policy at its April 28 work session and was set to review the policy at Monday's meeting for future action, but the board decided to take action then.

No board member voted in opposition of the policy, but board member Lynne Lassiter said that she wished to abstain from voting.

The policy calls for all students to wear school uniforms for reasons of safety, discipline and school unity. The uniforms would allow administrators and educators to easily determine who does and does not belong on campus.

The policy also states that uniforms "create a more disciplined environment by reducing negative competition and arguments over dress styles."

However, it also states that the policy would not prevent students from exercising their First Amendment rights of freedom of expression. Parents who do not want their children to wear uniforms due to their religious beliefs or a medical condition would be able to express these reasons to the school principal. Students who wear the traditional dress of their religion would not be required to wear uniforms.

Even though the policy is now in place for next school year, there are many specifics that must be worked out between now and then. The upcoming community meeting will provide a starting place.

Points that the school system must consider will include what students will be allowed to wear to school. Last year's discussion showed a variety of colors, shirt, slacks and dress options.

The newly-approved policy prohibits the wearing of clothing "that is too large or too small, too short, or too revealing," and the school system must make this distinction.

The policy would provide clothing options that are inexpensive and available to all students.

Spain said that the school system will send more detailed information to all parents at the end of this school year so that they will have time to prepare for next year.

I say:
1. They express concern about safety after seeing some students distinguish themselves by their clothes? Well at least they arn't doing it by killing each other! Strike 1
2. Uniforms for safety, and unity? Why safety? I haven't seen anyone hurt each other for their clothes, and I live in Texas, where you may may maybe could expect this kind of thing. Strike 2
3. What is "too large, too small, too short," or "too revealing"? All I know about their dress code is that it's too vauge! Strike 3, you're out.
Your dress code is unconstitutional by all means. Hopefully someone (with a brain!) sues you.

MADD : GTA IV will kill our kids.

MADD sent its honchos this email:

Each year nearly 13,500 people die in drunk driving crashes and
another half a million are injured in alcohol-related traffic crashes.
This is why MADD is extremely disappointed by the decision of the
manufacturers of the game Grand Theft Auto IV to include a game module
where players have to drive drunk.

Drunk driving is not a game and it is not a joke. Drunk driving is a
choice, a violent crime and it is also 100 percent preventable. MADD
is calling on the Entertainment Software Ratings Board to reclassify
Grand Theft Auto IV as an Adults Only game, a step up from the current
rating of Mature and for the manufacturer to consider a stop in
distribution if not out of responsibility to society then out of
respect for the millions of victims/survivors of drunk driving.

I sit, smiling ear to ear, holding a book unlike any other. Isamu Fukui's Truancy has brought sadness, happiness and laughter to my entire being. His writing may soon be compared with names such as Tolkien, Rowling and Richard Adams when it comes to fantasy writing.

Isamu's first novel is a swift kick in the rump to the ordinary school system. It turns your perspective of the school system upside down and inside out. The story takes place in an alternate world, where a city's mayor holds a tight grip on its school system by controlling everything that happens within it. Those who oppose the mayor and his tyranny over the city and schools are a group of former students, expelled from the system, known as The Truancy.

The story's main character is Tack, a 15-year-old boy who is overworked in school and at home. His days are bulging with "slightly" evil teachers, bullies and parents who seem indifferent to him as their child.

Tack then meets a mysterious boy running a lemonade stand in a deserted part of the city. He begins to look to the boy as a mentor and, more importantly, as a friend. But when Tack's sister is murdered before his own eyes, everything changes. Tack infiltrates The Truancy, and soon finds himself torn between his motives and his sympathy for the truants.

Truancy was written in a month's time during a summer vacation when Fukui was 15. Now 16, he has won a National Gold Award and a Regional Gold Key for separate short stories in the science fiction/fantasy category of the Scholastic Art and Writing Competition. It's two of many awards the teenage writer has won.

This is an exquisite example of writing and knowledge of the English language. It makes you feel emotions along with the main character, as well as making you feel as if you could be there with all of them. It is a book that I would most likely read again. I read a publisher's advance copy, but I recommend you pick up the real thing when it pops onto shelves in March.

South Carolina Will Place Ads Inside School Buses

South Carolina will begin selling ad space inside their public school buses—11-inch strips above the windows are now for sale, and "Interested school districts get about $2,100 per month per bus."

The South Carolina Board of Education approved the plan last month, and appears to be moving forward with it.

"I never thought [advertising inside school buses] was a good idea to start with," said Donald Tudor, South Carolina's DOE School Transportation Director, "but when you run a state program and districts request this be set in motion, you do it so they can make a choice. Ultimately, I couldn't think of a good reason why they shouldn't have the option."

For its part, SAC promises the ads will be age-appropriate, promote a healthy and productive life, and are directly approved by district appointed personnel. Ads sold thus far are from local businesses.

"Free market" is just a nice unsuspecting way to say "Capitalism".

So yes, beating kids up for nothing and advertising what good stuff Coca-Cola does to your body will make you healthy and productive.

So you have a Wifi Hotspot, Utah wants you to Verify Userage

A bill that would require those operating WiFi networks to verify users' ages has come under fire. Introduced to the Utah House of Representatives by Rep. Bradley Daw (R-Orem) late last month, the bill seeks to protect children from accessing "material harmful to minors" via public WiFi networks.

If you think that sounds like an unreasonable burden for WiFi operators, you're not alone. XMission, a Salt Lake City-based WiFi provider, said that complying with such a law would cost it upwards of $5,000 per month. XMission CEO Pete Ashdown told The Salt Lake Tribune that the company might be forced to turn off a number of its networks, including those in public libraries, in order to comply with the law.

Rep. Daw appears to have finally realized the problems the current wording of his bill would cause. Daw told the Tribune that he may pull the age provision from the bill in favor of a filtering requirement—even though he realizes that filters aren't completely effective either.

The age verification requirement is the brainchild of a Utah nonprofit called CP80. Founded by former SCO chairman Ralph Yarro, CP80 seeks to keep pornography away from young eyes by moving it off of port 80. Yarro compares ports to TV channels, arguing that it's a simple solution to the problem.

Unfortunately, it's not quite that simple. Any law passed in the US wouldn't extend beyond its borders; only porn sites hosted within the US would be forced off of port 80. There's also the question of the burden such a move would place on system admins and developers who are accustomed to a world where HTTP content defaults to port 80 regardless of what it contains.

Yarro and CP80 did manage to convince the Utah state legislature to pass a nonbinding resolution last May, one that called on Congress to do something about porn on the Internet, and Yarro believes that the age-restriction proposal currently in Daw's bill is feasible.

As currently written, the bill would also require individuals to lock down WiFi access (on any port) to minors. "A person may not provide wireless Internet access to the public unless the person restricts access to prevent a minor from accessing material harmful to minors," reads Part 2 of the bill. If you live in Orem and your next-door neighbor's kid uses your open WAP to look at pictures of naked women, you could find yourself on the hook for a $1,000 fine. Yarro thinks that's fine, telling the Tribune that people "should be responsible for their barking dogs and their Internet access."

And parents should be responsible for monitoring the online activities of their children. Making it more costly to run WiFi networks isn't going to keep kids away from porn.

Autisic Student Handcuffed For Singing

SAN FRANCISCO, California, Feb. 1, 2008 (NBC) -- The parents of an autistic San Jose, California sixth-grader are expressing outrage that their son was put in handcuffs because he would not leave a class.

Eleven year old Gunnar Moody said that it all started when he was singing a song while doing sit-ups in physical education class.

"She was like, 'Gunnar, you have to leave now.' I didn't do anything wrong. Why do I have to leave? Everyone else is being loud; why do I have to get in trouble?' Then she said it three more times and then she handcuffed me. And it was kind of humiliating because it was in front of all those kids and she was, like, picking me up and dragging me out," Gunnar said.

Gunnar's parents said, what happened at Bret Harte Middle School is unacceptable.

"The bottom line he's in phys ed. And all the kids are making noise yelling, screaming and talking and he gets singled out for going 'la-la-la?'" Michael Moody, Gunnar's father, said.

His mother, Laura Moody, asked a campus police officer if Gunnar had threatened anyone.

"I specifically asked the officer, 'did he threaten you?' She said no. I said, 'did he threaten any other child?' And she said no. I think there should be a better line drawn on what kind of force to use. And especially with children with disabilities," Laura Moody said.

A copy of Gunnar's behavior support plan outlines what to do if he misbehaves in school and does not include the use of physical force.

The San Jose Unified School District issued the following statement:

The officer's actions helped to maintain a safe atmosphere for the other 30 students in the class.

The use of restraints is extremely rare and would only be used when deemed absolutely necessary by the officer for the protection of the student and his other classmates.

Gunnar's parents plan to meet with school district leaders to talk about what happened.

Gunnar is suspended for three days.

Asked if he wants to go back to Bret Harte Middle School, Gunnar said, "No. Because the kids will like pick on me and stuff. Because of that happened."

Policy at U of Michigan would limit distribution of publications

© 2008 Student Press Law Center

February 8, 2008

MICHIGAN — A proposed policy at the University of Michigan that would limit the distribution of student publications in many campus buildings has some students worried the policy will infringe on their free speech rights.

The policy, in its early draft stage, would allow only student organizations under the Board of Student Publications or those recognized by the Michigan Student Assembly to distribute fliers or display publications in College of Literature, Science and the Arts buildings.

Any material distributed by student organizations, including the student newspaper, also would have to comply with university policies. For example, publications containing advertisements promoting alcohol or drugs would not be permitted.

"We don't want to be told whether we can sell ads to alcohol companies and distribute them [in our paper]," said Andrew Grossman, editor in chief of The Michigan Daily. "There's a lot about it that's pretty troubling."

Students would have a good chance of challenging such content restrictions because it is a more "clear-cut First Amendment case," said Mike Hiestand, legal consultant for the Student Press Law Center.

Bob Johnston, director of the LSA Facilities and Operations Office, told the Michigan Daily that the intent of the policy is not to restrict content. Johnston also said the policy would help distinguish between student-created material and advertising for local businesses, the paper reported.

Under the policy, the LSA Facilities and Operations Office would have to approve any publication or flier before it could be posted or distributed in the college's buildings. LSA officials said the policy was developed partly to improve safety by reducing the amount of paper on the floors, the Michigan Daily reported.

Public universities can establish time, place and manner regulations on free speech to address a legitimate problem, Hiestand said. But if safety were the main concern, LSA officials would have to find the least restrictive regulation to free speech, he said.

The student paper ran an editorial on Wednesday lambasting the proposed policy.

"Shamelessly disguised as a harmless effort to reduce litter and promote safety, this policy would really be an act of unconstitutional suppression of free speech, compromising the autonomy of student publications and offering another example of the University's bad habit of disregarding students," the editorial said.

University officials said the policy also was developed to set formal guidelines for what publications would be allowed into the buildings.

"There were periodic requests for people to come into the building and leave publications," said Kelly Cunningham, a university spokesperson. "They realized that they didn't have guidelines. They didn't want to feel like they were making arbitrary decisions."

Haven Hall and the other LSA buildings it is connected to have always been places where any student can post fliers and distribute publications, said Andy Kroll, Michigan Daily news editor.

The university can deem some areas of the university "private" and can control what is distributed in those areas. But it would have a harder time proving that large LSA buildings like Haven Hall are private, especially if the university has allowed all students to distribute print and post material there in the past, Hiestand said.

"Once they've opened it up like that, their ability to put these regulations in place is restricted," he said.

If a final draft of the policy is approved, university officials will make sure students' rights are protected, Cunningham said.

"We'll make sure it's reviewed by our general counsel," she said. "Freedom of speech and expression is one of the hallmarks of our university."

The university is planning to schedule a meeting in the next few weeks where student media and organizations can voice their concerns and give feedback to the policy developers, Cunningham said.

2 Students Expelled for Kissing on South Carolina School Bus

The families of two Richland County high school students kicked out of school for kissing on a school bus are challenging a decision to expel the pair, an attorney said Tuesday.
Dominique Goyner and his girlfriend were expelled by the school board in October for the rest of the academic year, after they sat next to each other on the bus and kissed a few times, said Russell Brown, the boy's attorney.
School officials told Jody Free her son was being removed from school for "sexual misconduct."
"I saw the tape. They kissed maybe two minutes and the rest of bus ride home they leaned back on seat and that was it," Free said. "Had it been anything different, I would have said 'OK you two have to suffer the consequences."'
The district won't comment about the case, but stands by the decisions made by its officials and school board, spokeswoman Theresa Riley said.
A message left for the girl's attorney was not immediately returned Tuesday.
Goyner, who has received awards from Bythewood High School's ROTC, said he knows he was breaking a rule, but was shocked by the response from school officials. He is being home-schooled and hopes the expulsion won't stop him from attending a military academy after graduation.
"It hurt me deeply," he told Columbia television station WOLO. "I was shocked. I didn't think it would go this far, to the point that I would be expelled from the district."
The school board refused to overturn its decision, but the families plan to appeal in circuit court, Brown said.
"What we have here, in my opinion, is an overzealous enforcement of a rule," he said.

Violate skate ban, lose wheels

NEW RICHMOND -- Cops can now confiscate the skateboards or inline skates of scofflaws in this Clermont County village.

Police Chief Dave Willoughby said the ordinance allowing the crackdown was enacted because some residents ignored a 2006 ban on skating anywhere other than the New Richmond Skate Park at the corner of Race and Willow streets.

"They know we can't put them in jail for a skateboard violation, so they have no incentive to come and pay the ticket off or show up in court," Willoughby said.

"We've got a lot of adults that we've cited" in the past, Willoughby said. "We've got one kid that's 18 or 19 - we've been trying to get him in court for probably a year now for skateboard violation."

Such scofflaws pose a danger to both themselves and the public in this Ohio River village of 2,219 people, according to the ordinance that took effect Dec. 13.

"Anywhere other than the skate park in the village is a violation - on the sidewalks or the streets or parking lots," Willoughby said.

When it comes to children, "we don't enforce it too much," Willoughby said.

"Usually, we'll stop and talk to kids and explain to them where the skate park is and what the law is - and they'll comply with it. But we have a few here and there that know there's not a whole lot we can do to them."

Now, anyone on a skateboard or inline skates who is nabbed by police can be charged with a misdemeanor and ordered to appear in Mayor's Court, Willoughby said.

"In addition, the police officer who observes the person riding or operating the skateboard or skates shall immediately impound the skateboard or skates for use as evidence and as possible contraband," according to the ordinance adopted by Village Council.

"The officer has the discretion of taking the skateboard or not, depending on whether or not they've been cited before or what their attitude about it is," Willoughby said.

"The magistrate makes the decision what to do with it - either dispose of it or return it to them after the charge is paid," Willoughby said.

According to the ordinance, the magistrate in Mayor's Court "may order the forfeiture of the skateboard or skates as contraband at the conclusion of the trial ... should the court find that the person has previously violated this" law.

Violators can be fined up to $100 and ordered to pay court costs of $65, Willoughby said.

Sites That Suck 16: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)

http://www.peta.org/
PETA is a group of extremists that say that they are for the ethical treatment of animals, but, since 1998, they have killed more that 12,000 animals, that's about 42 killed animals a WEEK.

They have given money to arsonists and animal lab bombers in their "defense", and Newkirk, the co-founder of PETA called one bomber, "a fine young man".

They are using PROPAGANDA, SLANDER, and LIBEL in shocking ways to get their points out.

.
From PETAkillsanimals.com:

1) PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk has described her group’s overall goal as “total animal liberation.” This means no meat, no milk, no zoos, no circuses, no wool, no leather, no hunting, no fishing, and no pets (not even seeing-eye dogs). PETA is also against all medical research that requires the use of animals.
2) Despite its constant moralizing about the “unethical” treatment of animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, anglers, and countless other Americans, PETA has killed over 14,400 dogs and cats at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. During 2005, PETA put to death over 90 percent of the animals it collected from members of the public.

3) PETA has given tens of thousands of dollars to convicted arsonists and other violent criminals. This includes a 2001 donation of $1,500 to the North American Earth Liberation Front (ELF), an FBI-certified “domestic terrorist” group responsible for dozens of firebombs and death threats. During the 1990s, PETA paid $70,200 to an Animal Liberation Front (ALF) activist convicted of burning down a Michigan State University research laboratory. In his sentencing recommendation, a federal prosecutor implicated PETA president Ingrid Newkirk in that crime. And PETA vegetarian campaign coordinator Bruce Friedrich told an animal rights convention in 2001 that “blowing stuff up and smashing windows” is “a great way to bring about animal liberation.”

4) PETA activists regularly target children as young as six years old with anti-meat and anti-milk propaganda, often waiting outside their schools to intercept them as they walk to and from class-without notifying parents. One piece of kid-targeted PETA literature tells small children: “Your Mommy Kills Animals!” PETA brags that its messages reach over 2 million children every year, including thousands reached by e-mail without the permission of their parents. One PETA vice president told the Fox News Channel’s audience: “Our campaigns are always geared towards children, and they always will be.”

5) PETA has used a related organization, the PETA Foundation, to fund the misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a deceptive animal rights group that promotes itself as an unbiased source of medical and nutritional information. PCRM's president also serves as president of the PETA Foundation.

6) PETA runs campaigns seemingly calculated to offend religious believers. One entire PETA website is devoted to the claim-despite ample evidence to the contrary-that Jesus Christ was a vegetarian. PETA holds protests at houses of worship, even suing one church that tried to protect its members from Sunday-morning harassment. Its billboards taunt Christians with the message that hogs “died for their sins.” PETA insists, contrary to centuries of rabbinical teaching, that the Jewish ritual of kosher slaughter shouldn't be allowed. And its infamous “Holocaust on Your Plate” campaign crassly compares the Jewish victims of Nazi genocide with farm animals.

7) PETA has repeatedly attacked research foundations like the March of Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society, because they support animal-based research that might uncover cures for birth defects and life-threatening diseases. PETA president Ingrid Newkirk has said that “even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we would be against it.”

Seventh-Grader Suspended For Writing Hate List

A seventh-grade Sagewood Middle School student is facing disciplinary action from school administrators for compiling a list of those he dislikes.

“I can confirm to you that a student did indeed make a list that contained the names of fewer than five students. As a result, appropriate action was taken with the student, “ said Ralph Montgomery, Sagewood Middle School principal.

Montogmery said the specifics of what disciplinary actions the student is facing will not be released due to privacy laws.

Administrators became aware of the rumors Nov. 21 during the holiday break, which prompted an investigation and the distribution of the letter written by Montogmery, said Whei Wong, spokeswoman for Douglas County.

A letter was sent to parents of Sagewood Middle School students Friday “because of the rumors that were circulating,” said Whei Wong, spokeswoman for Douglas County.

“I believe a student came forward about the list. Claimed to have seen the list a week prior to telling any adult about it,” said Wong when asked about how school administrators learned of the letter.

In the letter sent to parents, Montogmery wrote “I want to assure you of the safety of your children while at Sagewood. I can tell you, Sagewood leaders have worked closely with Douglas County School District security to ensure that your students and our staff are safe. We are safe.”

Wong said the parents of those mentioned in the list were notified.

“We determined there apparently was no threat or intent to harm anyone,” said Wong

Wong was not sure when the seventh-grade boy would be allowed to return to school.
