It’s “over the line” to complain about the behavior of a little boy who’s next act is to barge into a bathroom where a little girl is using the toilet and turn off the lights? Maybe his behavior needed to be addressed before he began escalating to more serious things.

I disagree. That particular book was there as an age-appropriate book about superheroes and their respective abilities. It was meant to teach. Children are meant to read it, absorb it, and take knowledge away from it. (“Push” and “Pull”, for example.)

Teasing someone until they cry is called bullying. I dealt with this by going straight to the parent and telling her that her son was nor allowed to play with my daughter any more. I also informed the teacher and other school officials of the situation and had a long talk with my daughter about what a bully was and…

As another teacher I would disagree that male and female negative behavior is treated the same except possibly in a special needs classroom. Many, many studies have been done showing that girls who are loud, disruptive, violent, etc. are shut down and disciplined much more quickly and stringently than boys doing the…

Actually the teacher acknowledged that the kid’s behavior was problematic- she just excused it based on his hard life. Girls acting out in these ways is generally not acceptable. Boys will be boys and girls will be punished for not being nice, sweet, quiet, and calm.

I didn’t mind the way she handled the karate thing. And I thought it was awesome how receptive the karate teacher was to the criticism!

I think she’s hurting the cause by coming on too strong, too early in most of these examples.

Can’t agree there. I was totally on board with her complaining about another child teasing her kid until she cries. One may or may not agree about the pretend guns, but that level of teasing is not teasing anymore; it is flat-out bullying.

I’m always astounded by the moms who will say in very cheery voices, of their teeny daughters: “She’s a little flirt!” when the kid has merely smiled at or tried to play as an equal with, little boys.

My daughter, a kindergartener, came home upset because some older boy was singing that tired, old song, “boys go to college to get more knowledge. Girls go to Jupiter to get more stupider.” I told her that boy was obviously wrong and she should tell him so, and that boys say those kinds of things both to get a rise…

Dude, you are SO not a lawyer. You’re not fooling anyone. You got your JD from Google University.

Ah, so then surely you’ll be able to cite legal precedent for a school being required to follow due process in expelling a student accused of theft. Considering you claim to be a lawyer.

Nice copy/paste job, but do you understand what you just wrote, and why it doesn’t answer the question about theft policies?

The victim here has chosen not to speak, which means she too wants the process to remain confidential. I understand questioning the confidentiality policy of a university when it seems to only be protecting a rapist, but here it also appears to be protecting the victim. If she doesn’t want her name or any of the…

The university’s policy regarding sexual misconduct allows them to expel students for actions that don’t necessarily rise to the level of sexual assault. It also doesn’t have the same burden of proof as a criminal case. Being expelled for sexual misconduct doesn’t prevent him from being charged with a crime.

It’s funny how pragmatism is suddenly an obvious and smart strategy when it comes to one of Sanders’ legislative weak spots. Not so with healthcare, the minimum wage, higher education, or taxes, though!

Such a racist and sexist viewpoint to think that these women can’t make their own choices.
Jordan Davis’ mom has been EXTREMELY active in using her son’s death to raise awareness of Stand Your Ground laws, racism, and guns. But I guess you don’t know that because you haven’t educated yourself. You just see a black…

Seriously, the rhetoric around Clinton “using” these women is so messed up. Way to deny women of color agency, political literacy, and their voices. Damn.

Or, OR Fulton and McBath are adults and are chosing to support a candidate based on their experiences.

Are you kidding me? First of all, those women have agency, they chose to speak up and endorse someone. I’m going to be voting for whoever gets the democratic nomination, and I just sincerely hope your Drumpf reasoning is a joke.
