The ratio of poor vs. rich at those schools could be shifted a lot by putting that money towards tuitions.

yeah no kidding. If I tried that crap with my dad. He would have eaten my hot dog for me. When I cried, he would have said, but you said you did not want it. When I said I wanted a different one without ketchup touching the bread, my dad would have said. How the hell are you going to pay for that? Any food pickiness I…

No one has forgotten what they did. But there is a difference between a twelve year old with mental illness and a full grown adult with all their faculties.

I don’t think she forgot in the story. I think that she was just in a panic.

That poor mom. She must have been worn out to near collapse. Well done Cat, nice save!

I am unreasonably aroused by this entire article.

Radicalized Wiccan?

Smelling suspicious here. Very not wiccan. I wonder if its an 80s style Devil Worship scare and they had a next door neighbor who happened to be wiccan and is now therefore a suspect, and the killings rituatlistic. Also “blunt force trauma” seems like an unusual take on human sacrifice.

Well yeah.. I guess there is that.

Oh go I could totally see myself doing what he did. When I hear “hey you have it on tap” I would immediately assume the guy was joking and respond with my own joke. I bet they guy thought it was all in fun until the customer starting asking around.

not true... the little “drum sticks” are just the upper arm portion of the wing. Common confusion though.

Regarding MAtt Halpern’s story. I completely sympathize with the woman, although pouring the drink out was too far. It is absolutely not her fault the stand ran out of condiment cups and had not enough backups and it is absolutely not her problem that the stand uses the regular cups for inventory counts. The stand…

Regarding Steve’s. I can see how his geography was dumb, but it’s not that unusual for a person to ask for a part of the brunch menu as a special request. Even with the fish grill it should have been possible (you know in a skillet maybe) to honor the request unless there was some explicit policy against it.

But men do this all the time and people do not even notice. Its also been around forever. Why the heck is it a thing now. You hear older people do it too.

not a Jack Russell. Might be a common problem.

All right its official. I am hooked on this story and must.. MUST know how it evolves. I came out heavy in favor of the professor, and now worry that I was woefully misled, or am being mislead now... I CANT LOOK AWAY.

Well academic freedom means you don’t get to decide what academic freedom is. But yes it does give them extraordinary protections even to the “say whatever they want” category. actually.

Well yes, but College professors (esp tenured) have a think called Academic freedom and have freedom of speech in their classrooms whereever they are employed. There are case laws and stuff.

False equivalency... style vs. content... Louisiana good... you bad... Hulk MAD!!!!!

Actually that is the type of person teaching all types of students in all universities. Have you ever met a college professor who did not lay out a little life advice? And again on dissing Louisiana. Lay off already. It may not be perfect but they have po-boys. That has got to earn them a little respect.
