Ban the Banning!

It's almost like this story is from some weird alternate universe or something... Oh, wait; it's California. Same thing.

Since actually reading the article will raise your blood pressure to unhealthy levels and make you want to throw things (or people), I'll give you a little synopsis:

Step 1: Mouthy Punk is constantly mouthing off, defying teachers, disrupting classes, and generally being a Mouthy Punk.

Step 2: Mouthy Punk is suspended.

Step 3: Mouthy Punk and Mother Punk get the red ass, complain to school board that Mouthy isn't learning anything. Because, you know, he's suspended. For being Mouthy Punk.

Step 4: School board, most distraught over Mouthy Punk's lack of educational opportunity, introduces resolution to ban suspensions for "willful defiance."

Headline: "L.A. Public School System Shuts Down, Gangs Rule Streets"

This is the largest (and brokest) state in the union. What do you think is going to happen when it inevitably spirals down into complete economic and social collapse? You think it'll be good for those of us in places like Texas, Florida, et al, where we still use our brains for something besides separating our ears?

Secede now. Beat the rush.
