The really crazy thing is, it is not a first come, first serve. They have to run background investigations, check credit/financial history, dependents, etc. This was only an application and they all go into a pile to be assessed at a later time.   Today there were people trickling in all day and there was never more than about 30 or so people applying after the first hour. In other words, the people that camped out all night, could have simply walked in the second day and been the first in line at almost any time of the day. 

  Am I etc., or an illiterate troll?  :ph34r:

  Why stop now?  :D

  BISD school board perhaps?

  I don't know. Ask someone that has made a judgment. 

  Too late or not until he found out that he couldn't cover it up any more?

  More like would have made him a hero.    If he had come in and said this ship is leaking and I am here to plug the holes, he would probably up for awards instead of the unemployment line. 

  There is no irony. I said that it was about appearance which is what was said.    As far as the hate group tats, you might not care but I'll bet a majority of people would, particularly looking at the demographics in a particular area. 

  But he is a great teacher......   Maybe but is that what matters the most here?   What if I show you a teacher with impeccable teaching credentials. He scored 4.0 in all college courses. All of his fellow college students claim that he is always pleasant and gets along with others and is a simply awesome instructor. He has the ability to get through to some students when others have failed. Simply put, he is the best possible teacher a district can ask for.   But when he shows up for work, you find out why he always wore long sleeve shirt with high collars. You find out that he has SS tattoos on one side of his neck and Aryan Brotherhood tats down both arms. On the other side of his neck he has a tat of a fist with White Power. Then he has a swastika on his forehead that he was covering with makeup.    Do you want this simply awesome teacher in your school when at school he acts professionally. We don't even know if he belongs to any such groups or did at one time but changed. Do you really want him teaching your kids while exercising his First Amendment rights of freedom of speech..... after all, he is a great teacher?    I am not comparing this to what is happening in Lumberton or anything close to it. It is only an example where simply being a good teacher might not tell the entire story and in some professions, appearance does matter.    You are a teacher but I am sure that you have dress codes. Should it be that way or should you or anyone else be able to teach in any appearance as long as it is legal?   

Yes because then the TEA leaves, the community will have another election and appoint a new superintendent  and it will all start over. Maybe some of the thefts will stop as the newer people in charge will realize that they will be under a  microscope but the attitudes and beliefs will remain. 

  Oh well....................... 

  What has that got to do with anything?

  Maybe the board member is the "power" person.......... 

    You say that you can understand what he is going through..... but then toss out that you understand that someone might be uncomfortable that you are a man in that position.   Do you understand then the additional concern when that man's attire is dresses?    Who do you understand or sympathize with more, the one guy that wants to dress outside of the norm and/or sex or the parents that have to send their kids in there? 

I will reprint this from the other forum with permission from the owner:      

  More like the captain is kicking out the rats under guise of cleaning up the area and claiming the rat wanted go to another ship. 

It probably has nothing to do with teaching. I find it strange that a man dresses as a woman in a classroom setting.    I could care less about sexual preferences, who is sleeping with who or what he does inside of his own home. I just think it is wrong.    If he wants a sex change, go for it and become a woman and then wear a dress.    I think that if we put some thought to it, we might find a lot of people that have a great ability to teach but that we might not want to be in front of children. Heck, being topless in TX is not against the law. Should male or female teachers be able to teach without covering up because it i legal and the teacher might be great? 

I rise in defense of BMTSoulja on this issue.  :D

  I have no clue what you are talking about and that she "announced" MLK's assassination that happened almost 50 years ago. I am sure that if she used the wrong name in a newscast it was a mistake rather than not knowing history.    Obama said there were 57 states. Does he need a geography or history lesson or was it merely a slip? 

I think that it is great.    The only votes they can possibly draw off of the main two parties is from the Democrats where I am sure that a majority of Muslims already vote.    In a nation that at the moment is divided almost 50/50 on national voting, drawing off 1-3% of the votes might by itself swing the presidential election.    Yep, I think the disgruntled Dems need some more splintering parties. 

  Let's see, a guy who is charged in theft of $4 million going back for four years (coincidentally during the time this report was made), sends in numbers to the state and claims everything is great.    Hmmm.... yep, I'll bet they did receive a superior rating.   Nothing to see here TEA. Everything is ship shape and doing well, move along. 

  Likely officer discretion. They simply chose not to cite them all. 

  The law says   "makes available an alcoholic beverage to a minor with criminal negligence".   Criminal negligence is the lowest culpable mental state basically can mean having your head up your but when you should have know better.    You can debate what "make available" means or what evidence the officers have but looking at the way the law is written, it doesn't look like it takes much. I think that simply being there is not enough but allowing it to be loaded on your bus seems to be getting mighty close. 

  Which in Beaumont are all the same thing. 

  In this case they arrested every adult on scene who could face months in jail.
