A New Jersey mom went to her daughter’s school and complained about her not making the cheerleading squad — so now everyone gets to make the team.
“All my hard work has been thrown out the window,” seethed cheerleader Stephanie Krueger about the ruling during a Board of Education meeting last week in East Hanover.
“I tried my hardest. Now everything is going away because of one child who did not make the team, and their parent complained.”
Instead of having tryouts and making cuts, cheer coaches at Hanover Park High School have decided to let everyone participate. The school’s athletic director said they changed the policy as a direct result of the mom’s complaint.
This is what happens when the School administrations are populated with limp-wristed losers with no self-esteem because they were the bottom of their class at school who could not do anything real with their lives so they decided to teach. Was that a run-on sentence?
In high school, I was a cocky *******. I didn't get along especially well with my assigned guidance counselor, partly as a result of the fact that he hadn't approved of the brief relationship between his daughter and myself.
At one point, I actually said to him: "I'm supposed to be taking career advice from someone whose best career option was to become a high school guidance counselor?"
The quality (and quantity) of his guidance declined after that.
I must admit that I took a bit of sadistic pleasure in knowing that my starting salary fresh out of college was probably higher than what he retired on.
A male political science professor and a female gender studies professor walk into a crowded elevator…
And the doors open on an ethics committee.
Never heard that joke? Probably because it actually happened last month. The catalyst for the scuffle was an actual joke, and a run-of-the-mill one at that.
Richard Ned Lebow, a teacher at King’s College, has been under fire for his fateful choice of humor. When entering the elevator at a San Francisco convention, he was asked by gender studies professor Simona Sharoni which floor he was going to. In admirable dad joke fashion, Lebow replied “ladies’ lingere.” The joke was a nod to the olden days of department stores when customers told an elevator operator which floor of merchandise they were going to. Sharoni apparently didn’t find the silly little quip so entertaining.
Humorless gender führer Simona Sharoni
Sharoni, in the true gender studies fashion, went directly to the International Studies Association– the host of the convention the two were attending–to file a formal complaint. Some details contained within have been disputed by Lebow. Once the shunned professor initially caught wind of the complaint he preemptively reached out to Sharoni through writing.
According to the Washington Post, Lebow bowed before the frothing feminist, telling her,
“Like you, I am strongly opposed to the exploitation, coercion or humiliation of women…As such evils continue, it seems to me to make sense to direct our attention to real offenses, not those that are imagined or marginal. By making a complaint to ISA that I consider frivolous — and I expect, will be judged this way by the ethics committee — you may be directing time and effort away from the real offenses that trouble us both.”
This did little to defuse the ticking time bomb of outrage placed at Lebow’s feet. The committee became incensed and the letter caused Sharoni to grow more indignant.
Mark Boyer, Executive Director of the ISA, deemed the committee found the joke “offensive and inappropriate.” Additionally, Boyer considered the professor reaching out to Sharoni while the matter was under consideration “frivolous” and potentially a “more serious violation.”
When told to apologize, Lebow refused. He described in an e-mail to colleagues that he found the committee’s decision to be “a horrifying and chilling example of political correctness” that “encourages others to censor their remarks for fear of retribution.”
Sharoni wrote in an e-mail to Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post that rejecting the principle of political correctness was a “blanket excuse by those who refuse to rethink and change their racist, sexist and homophobic beliefs and practices. From inappropriate jokes in public spaces to unwanted sexual advances and assault, men in positions of power are outraged when they are being held accountable, even if the sanction is as minor as a request for an apology.”
You can kinda tell just by looking at some people that they do not posses an understanding of the concept of humor. A reasonable person would have identified this trait immediately, and acted accordingly out of self-preservation.
Eg: you don't make a joke in the presence of this person:
Anymore than you do this in east Harlem:
Both are constitutionally-protected forms of expression, and both are likely to end badly.
Whenever I hear stories of people like that, I wish upon them the good fortune of having an intransigent teenage child that just mercilessly ***** with them with all that unique and particular focus that only they can know how to bring to bear on a parent.

Appearing on Austrailian television Tuesday, sexuality expert Deanne Carson raised eyebrows across the planet with a bizarre claim.
Carson, who describes herself as “a leading Australian sexuality educator, researcher, speaker, author and ultimate keeper of a straight face when dispelling children’s misconceptions about bodies and baby making,” told ABC that parents should ask their baby’s consent before changing their diapers.
She called it an important step to establish a “culture of consent” in the home.
Carson instructed parents to make eye contact with their infants, and ask, “‘I’m going to change your nappy now, is that okay?’ Of course the baby is not going to respond ‘yes mum, that’s awesome. I’d love to have my nappy changed,'” she said.
“But if you leave a space, and wait for body language and wait to make eye contact, then you’re letting that child know that their response matters.”
At the top of the segment, Carson identified herself as working with children from three years old on issues surrounding consent. She added that parents ought to introduce issues of consent as early as from birth.
Social media users and conservative pundits were quit to slap down the “leftist lunacy,” as many called it.
Former Senate candidate for the right-wing Australian Liberty Party, Kirralie Smith, wrote on Facebook,
“This goes way beyond lunacy! This is neglect and child abuse!!!! Many children never want you to change their nappy. Asking them for consent is a serious indication of severe mental problems. Nappies must be changed to prevent serious skin damage and pain for the child. What is worse is the fact the ABC actually spent our tax dollars on this moronic opinion.”
Imam Tawhidi, know as Imam of Peace on Twitter, compared such bizarre consent rules to Islamic law and fatwas.

Seems like a fun lady.
I'm not sure this is really even a joke so much as a cultural reference nearing 100 years old. I swear I've heard this in a Marx brothers film from the 1930s: *ding* "Sixth floor, ladies' lingerie." I'd be interested in finding the first use of this phrase, because it goes waaaaay back.
A Cornell student fought the patriarchy by tossing her clothes with her dignity. And by “fought the patriarchy” I mean “getting the patriarchy’s attention.” What better way to wage war than by engaging in the opposite of a sneak attack? Feminists are replacing the element of surprise with bare breasts and thongs. If only George Washington had thought of this lesser known strategy. Instead of crossing the Potomac in the middle of icy winter, General Washington should’ve enlisted the most classless lasses the 13 colonies had to offer. Ripping their corsets to quickly deploy their mammaries. Red Coats would’ve been flabbergasted by the bewb flappage. Imagine the paintings splashed across high school textbooks. Bet more boys would’ve paid attention.
The student was attempting to strike a blow against the patriarchy, repudiating her media arts professor’s advice to dress up for the presentation
Here’s what the professor said in response:
“I do not tell my students what to wear, nor do I define for them what constitutes appropriate dress,” Maggor later clarified in an email to the Sun. “I ask them to reflect for themselves and make their own decisions.” Indeed, the syllabus warns students to “dress appropriately for the persona” they plan to present.
Makes sense. Your outward appearance is a representation of who you are. No one knows this better than ladies, who fret and worry about their wardrobe and what to wear! every damn day. Because outwardly appearance matters.
But when a syllabus reiterates that which most women everywhere have known since four-years-old, suddenly it’s time to get nekked. To fight oppression and stuff. Who knew shirts and jeans were inventions of the super secret patriarchy.
Maggor apologized for the remark anyway, after Chai stormed out of the class. She eventually returned, stripped down to her underwear, and continued with the presentation.
By the by, Professor Maggor’s first name is Rebekah. Which is just a dumber way of spelling “Rebecca.” So Rebekah got to correct people her entire life on how to spell her name because mommy and daddy wanted people to think they were creative. No. However it’s spelled, Rebekah is a name better associated with people who have front holes instead of *****.
So our special student of the hour is protesting the patriarchy even though the professor is a babe, not a bro.
This is why I maintain most modern, third-wave feminists have the IQs of stuffed iguanas. If you want to protest the patriarchy, which is silly but let’s play along, put your hair in curlers and wear a tarp. See also, Hillary Clinton. No one sticks it to the patriarchy quite like a lady who appropriates a Tipi.
A British mother who has admitted having an incestuous relationship with her son was in hiding as police said she could face up to 15 years in prison .
Kim West told how she has been enjoying “incredible and mind-blowing” sex with Ben Ford ever since they met in 2014 after being reunited following 30 years apart.
The English-born mum became pregnant while studying in California and after giving birth to her son, now aged 19, gave him up for adoption.
Now after being reunited Ben, 32, has left his wife and moved in with his 52-year-old mum in Michigan where they hope to start a family and get married.

Nice, I had a similar experience. I didn't get along with my guidance counselor and wanted to take college courses my junior/senior years. She refused saying I wouldn't do well because I was too shy or anti-social. Umm, part of the reason I don't participate much was because I was more mature and bored out of my mind in my classes. I never told her off but did get revenge on another teacher/coach.
I played violin and was concertmaster junior/senior years. Both my undergrad and graduate education was paid for because of my violin talent, plus getting a stipend for the graduate assistantship. In middle school I was quite good at track and field (discus and high jump) placing in our regional final track meet. In high school I hated most of the teacher coaches. I tried to be part of the track team but I was also required to attend a weekly, after school sectional practice for orchestra. I had the orchestra teacher talk with the head track coach and it was agreed that I would miss practice each Tuesday because of orchestra. I was one of the best discus throwers and in the top two high jumpers as a freshman so you would think they would want me on the team.
Anyway, the head coach kept marking me absent and unexcused so after a few weeks, he and the discus coach told me if I missed one more practice I was off the team. No warnings, just one more and you're gone. I hadn't missed any and reminded them about the agreement and my commitment to orchestra. The reply was "you're still doing that ***** ****?". I quit on the spot. The coach that made the comment had a son my age that was a total loser and had only been in orchestra to get the required credits.
The summer after I graduated from high school I saw that coach working at a local hardware store. I couldn't help walking over to ask if his ***** **** teaching job paid so little that he had to work minimum wage over the summers. As I walked away I reminded him violin was paying my way through college. ...closed minded, ignoramus.
