My kid’s high school is packed full of crazy adults. Yes, the teachers, administrators, security, you name it – they’re all whack-a-doodle. My son came home yesterday with a story about his fill-in teacher for his Shop class. But hold that thought, first a list of some of the shenanigans that have been publicized since my kids have been in attendance there:

• The band director was convicted of 4 counts of engaging in sexual activity with a minor.
• A law enforcement officer, tasked with campus security, was charged with 5 counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
• A wrestling coach and substitute teacher was charged with taking indecent liberties with a minor.
• The principal retired early at the end of last year – gee, I wonder why.
• The “fill-in” teacher that I mentioned earlier, she’s a fill-in for the rest of the year because the original Shop teacher was put on leave for cursing out a student in front of witnesses. Yeah, I know, brilliance in the making.

Yesterday, the fill-in Shop teacher gives the class a free day, which essentially means free talking, no class work, kind of day. Except my son was telling me that this ding-dong was telling the class that AIDS is a disease that was created by our government to reduce the population in our states, so that we could reduce homelessness and be able to feed all Americans. It was also placed, by our government, in the 4 corners of the world to see how quickly it would spread. Yes, you read that right, and apparently even if you have a college degree it does not mean you are granted with wisdom & common sense. When all of the students in the class, who apparently are wise to her bullshit rhetoric, called her on her nonsense her response to them was “you’ll understand when you get older, you’ll see.” Because, really? Belittling teenagers is such a smooth move – it’s almost a 100% guarantee that they’ll resort to any means to pull the proverbial rug out from under your feet.

Granted, her stupidity is not as serious as the previous events mentioned above, but geez!

Then, we had dinner with the in-laws last night, it was my mother-in-law’s 80th birthday and we had a wonderful time. Until she started talking about how the nuns at their high school would always flirt with “the good looking boys.” Lord, have mercy, do I not have enough on my hands with the high school without their own grandma condoning this behavior – saying that it’s harmless & cute? I don’t think she was too happy when I called the nuns pedophiles and that if an adult ever flirted with my children, I would have a serious problem with it.

Don’t mess with a mom, I’m just saying.
