Sex Ed teacher gets around no condom demo law
Mississippi's new sex education law prevents teachers from showing teens how to use condoms
Holy retardo !
It's Illegal To Feed The Homeless In Florida
Have you actually looked at a map of the US? Florida is clearly the prick, Texas is the butt, and Louisiana is the asshole. Mississippi and Alabama would be the taint.
Seems about right to me.
Florida is the asshole of America

The issue is a concern for the southern part of Louisiana. It is said we lose one football field of protection (from hurricanes) each year - to erosion.
New Orleans does have a levy system along, Lake Pontchartrain, the Mississippi River and various canals. There has been maintenance on them since Katrina.

Common Core U.S.A. ~ Re-Education & Indoctrination Learning
I'm not all for the Common Core because I've decided that teaching is an imperfect duty ( http://www.uark.edu/campus-resources/rlee/intrau04/oh/k-perf.html ).
What I mean is, the flexibility required of the duty of teaching makes it so hard nosed data collection is never going to accurately reflect the quality of the teaching being done. Therefore, the standardized testing that goes hand in hand with the common core should be abolished.
I have a student right now who can't stop his limbs from going numb and needs to constantly leave class because of some scary combination of ADHD meds and energy drinks he took. I've spoken with mom and the nurse, given him assignments, but beyond that there's not much I can do to reach out to this student. It is not fair or right that my pay be tied to a student(s) in a bizarre situation beyond my control.
And yes, I could be a teacher from pop culture films that follows him home and just mentors this kid, but this student is not alone. I've got literally 150 students all with unique problems and baggage. I get them for 5 hours a week (when they are actually there) and they spend the other 163 hours of the week doing who knows what.
THAT SAID
This video, however, has obvious motives besides just abolishing the common core. Sex education SHOULD be a part of the curriculum and states that adopt sex education tend to have the lowest incidents of teen pregnancies. Mississippi teaches their sex ed classes by passing around peppermint patties (yes, really: http://articles.latimes.com/2014/apr/02/nation/la-na-ms-teen-pregnancy-20140403 ) and, not surprisingly, has the highest incidents of teen pregnancy.
Get it through your fucking skull, religious nuts. Teaching sex ed PREVENTS kids from having sex, not the other way around.
Common core is certainly not something positive that's happened in the education system in the past year, but I'd still take it over what some jesus cheerleaders want to replace it with.
McCoys - Hang on sloopy Vid with amazing girl.
from Urban Dictionary :
"
The year is 1965 and an almost unknown rock band from Ohio called The McCoys recorded a song called "Hang On Sloopy."
"Hang On Sloopy" was inspired by a woman named Dorothy Sloop who was a native of Steubenville, Ohio. Apparently she had a career as a singer in the 1950's and used the name "Sloopy" as a stage name. Dorothy Sloop passed away in Pass Christian, Mississippi. Her song will long live on in the hearts of people for years to come....
hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on...
"
(the other definitions are par-for-course)
Pray for Our Survival!
Oh the humanity and improvisational drama, the raw talent afforded the meek and weary, and those surrounded by peeps less fortunate who must suffer the mundane attributes of the lesser endowed.
We praise these, the tireless and talented harbingers of happiness in small doses who keep any sane, and all afforded sleep.
God bless Mississippi and Arkansas, Alabama and the Carolinias.

Police Force Man to 14-hour Anal Cavity Search!
183 years ago, Native Americans used to own land east of the Mississippi. Until democracy.
Yes, that is how we change things. It's slow, cumbersome, subject to corruption and lobbying and often the oppressors aren't punished and the victims don't live to see the changes.
But in the long run, it works.
120 years ago, women couldn't even vote.
60 years ago, it was considered perfectly fine to discriminate against ethnic minorities.
When I grew up, legalised gay marriage was unthinkable (hell, being gay was still a crime in many places until I was in my teens).
All these things were changed, through protest and democracy. They are all far from solved problems, and there have been a few steps back along the way (NSA, Guantanamo, etc) but for most people life is better now than it has been in the past.
There's a reason Churchill called democracy "the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried.” We've seen the other and they're way worse than this.
So no, I don't accept it and yeah, I punch my paper and eventually, shit gets done.

Atheist in the Bible Belt outs herself because she is MORAL
what a profoundly sad thread this has become.
i am not referring to the most excellent posts by @Chairman_woo and his discourse with @shinyblurry.
no.
it is the ignore function use i am talking about.
what an intellectually weak and vapid excuse to not engage with those who you may disagree with or (gasp) not actually like.
are your tender sensibilities so fragile as to not survive scrutiny of one who may disagree? or is it the manner in which they disagree?
is THAT the measure of how you judge anothers ideas?
words?
and you find this to be a valid reason?
this makes sense in your world?
well allow me to point out that without the dissenting voice challenging your preconceptions and only allowing those that parrot the same homogenized,pastuerized vanilla-same cloned vomit will only serve to create a stagnant pond of lifeless banality.
but as long as you are safe in your little bubble world in which you are always right and the circle-jerk perpetuates a lackluster and flaccid worldview.then thats ok right? as long as the echo chamber reflects how RIGHT you are.
@chingalera offends you?
good! because maybe you needed to be offended.
@VoodooV we have to apologize to @bareboards2 for derailing her thread?
no we fucking dont.
human discourse is by its very nature an ugly evolving creature.so get over yourself.love your commentary,hate your high horse..so get the fuck off it.
@bareboards2 is a very nice and sweet woman,and sometimes can be sensitive but she is a big girl and i dont think we will find her weeping in a dark,curtains drawn room.in fact i am willing to bet she loves the fact her video got such a great discussion going.so who are you to judge? or tell us what we should or should not do for that matter?
this brings me all back to my main point.
the sift used to have a vibrant community that discussed,argued and debated.the arguments were legendary and we still see old skool sifters refer to these people with fondness,even if they disagreed with them vehemently.
they were passionate and had something to say.
the list reads like a funeral march to those great voices who have passed and no longer engage in the sift:@MINK,@rougy,@choggie,@thinker247,@joedirt
what do we have now?
bunch of panty waist pussies who will only jump on the band wagon because other people join in the carnage.jumping on @BoBknight,@shinyblurry,@Lantern.
its like a bully convention with free crystal meth.
these folks might as well be black living in mississippi in the 1800's.
look! a chrsitan fundamentalist!
a conservative right winger!
lets lynch em......
and those tired pussies dont even have the courage to choke on their own hypocrisy.
wont even acknowledge that those in the minority have some serious balls to post comments on a secular left site.
this hasnt become a self-masturbatory thread.
its one big circle jerk.
so to those old skool peeps that i know still lurk here on the sift.
please come back.
for the love of god come back.
because these pussies are to busy sucking each others dicks.
im going to get some fresh air because you fuckers have sucked all the vibrance out of the air and left it stale with your own hubris.
and for the love of christ.get the fuck over yourself.

It should be noted the tornado utterly flattened huge sections of Mississippi, doing hundreds of dollars in damages.
Real Time With Bill Maher - Glenn Beck World
No shit. I had a full-day run in with a pack of them just the other day. I probably should have realized what sort I was dealing with when they claimed that Mississippi had a great educational system. Sadly, it took me a few more interactions (when one of the demanded to know why I thought evolution should be taught in a science class) before I got my clue.
merica, the breeding ground of nutters.
Bill O'Reilly is Stupid
*Ahem*
It's horrible how those people @ MIT, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Apple, Google, Ebay, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. just want things! Those worthless democrats keeping the economy alive are nothing but bloodsucking welfare recipients... If only they'd follow the lead of the republican states like Alabama, and Mississippi, we'd be in a better shape!
