It was him and I guess he now needs to rely upon the scratches he had drawn on the tree-barks while his way in.

Out 'thar in the desolate sun-baked scrub of Kermit, Texas, I reckon there's all kinds of things can get all shriveled up, like tolerance: [^]. Story also covered by NY Daily News: [^], and Gawker.com: [^].
"His father, Jason Steward, said the family had been to see "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" last weekend. His son brought a ring to his class at Kermit Elementary School and told another boy his magic ring could make the boy disappear." This is the third suspension for young Aiden since the six months he has joined the school:
"Aiden was suspended once for referring to another student as black and another time for bringing The Big Book of Knowledge, a children's encyclopedia to school, which his teacher discovered contained an illustration of a pregnant woman." I think there's more to this story than meets the eye: and, I wonder if Aiden's parents have been somehow identified as deviants for some reason like maybe they don't have any automatic weapons, use charcoal-briquets rather than a gas-fired bbq-grill, or don't have a teevee larger than 32 inches.
If you ask me, it's just real sick to take out this on the kid when it's the parents should be getting driven out of town, pronto, before they twist the minds of all the other children.

Heretic, burn him!
Everybody knows there is only one thing to fire a BBQ grill and that is charcoal made from beech wood.
Ok grape-vine is actually second to none, but it's very hard to come by if you don't live near any vineyards.
Cheers!

Well, Lord of the Rings DOES invite Satan into your homes and schools...
BillWoodruff wrote: referring to another student as black
Since the boy is obviously a fan of ungodly 'fantasy stories' that's probably a Harry Potter reference (Sirius Black for those who don't know the story), which will invite Satan into your homes and schools...
BillWoodruff wrote: The Big Book of Knowledge, a children's encyclopedia to school
A little knowledge invites Satan into your homes and schools, they knew this in the dark ages...
Why was this kid suspended? He should be burned at the stake (or gas-fired bbq-grill)!
But seriously, this is a little sad

It wouldn't surprise me if the school is taking a religious bias a bit too far. Remember, this is Bible-belt Texas we're talking about. The only magic that exists is in the Bible, sex education is a forbidden subject being limited to abstinence-only, and an encyclopedia may tell the kids something that the Bible says isn't true.
The Texas State School Board is run by a bunch of right-wing Bible thumping nut jobs who are trying to rewrite history so that it fits their Christian-biased view of the world.
Don't believe me? Watch this[^].
They also approved new textbooks with their propaganda bias by forcing publishers to rewrite the books with their required changes. Read all about that here[^].
What's really scary is that way too many other school boards in the U.S. follow the Texas State Board of Educations lead and accept the list of books Texas approved as their own!

I'd like to point out that these "Intolerant, biased, Christians" didn't riot as a result of your criticisms. That means your biased opinion has been tolerated and appropriately ignored by them. Ironic. Even ignorant free speech like yours is tolerated.
I find it even more ironic that its okay to bash this group with your "hate speech" without anyone saying anything. If you were to single out any other demographic this way that you'd be chastised for it.
You advocate a double standard but I suppose you're too ignorant to see that, too.

To be fair, they probably don't spend much time hanging out on CodeProject. They might not even be aware of Dave's criticisms yet. I'm sure once someone makes them aware of this thread, they'll be protesting outside Internet HQ, waving "God hates Dave" banners.

That'll be you not saying anything then?

Just because I don't tolerate a group of fundamentalists trying to teach their religion in a non-religious set of schools in no way makes what I said "hate speech". I don't hate Christians. I hate what they are trying to force their doctrine and propaganda on everyone else who doesn't believe as they do.
Science class is for SCIENCE, where only the rules of the scientific process apply. What they are trying to do is bend and break those rules to wedge in Biblical teachings. Sorry, but that doesn't fly.
Teaching the Bible in public school is expressly forbidden by law, and is in no way "hate speech".
Just because you don't agree with what is said does not mean the default evaluation of it should be "hate speech".
I'm the discussion alone right here as this is now Soapbox material.

That is not the common core way. Not every child has the book so obviously it is bad.

Apparently, it was named for Kermit Roosevelt, who died 12 years before "the Frog" first appeared.
Kermit, West Virginia was also named after Roosevelt.

I wonder what the response would have been if "One Ring to Rule Them All" was resignified as a reference to a WWF Raw championship bout? Literate and/or liberal parents should recognize that when living in Kermit, they need to translate to the recognizable tokens of conceptual exchange.

What I am worried more about is that this school (district) in Texas is becoming more like Isis. How long before they behead the child. How is a child supposed to know how fine of a line there is between what is considered a terrorist act and is safe?
Also, with the suspension of the encyclopedia volume, it seems that the powers that be don't want Aiden to get too smart, or they will be superseded and he will take over their jobs.
A friend of recently visited Texas and said the people there are strange. This just proves his observations.

I too notice that a poorly written article which was once the point of discussion among the moderators, is at top of the list since very long.
The question might arise, is it really the best pic from codeproject?
