The O. Henry Plot Twist

Readers will remember the case of Rebecca Diebolt, the California teacher charged with having a lesbian affair with a teenage student. Now brace yourself for the unexpected plot twist: Perhaps no one is more blown away by a teacher’s arrest for allegedly molesting a female student starting when the girl was 15 than the woman’s colleagues […]

Our Moral Superiors™

You have to wonder sometimes how the intelligentsia have been able to maintain the myth of their superiority for so long, and how much longer they can keep it up in the face of overwhelming evidence contradicting this myth. For example, the American Studies Association (ASA) boycott campaign against Israel is led by New York University […]

It’s an interesting story: […]

High School ‘Death Cult’: Parents Claim Daughters Were Targeted by ‘Coven’

The federal lawsuit Doe v. Mastoloni, et al., demands a jury trial, which would be the biggest thing since the Salem Witch Trials: A couple have claimed that their three daughters were indoctrinated into a religious cult by their school teachers leaving them with suicidal thoughts and alienated from their loving family, according to a […]

The yearbook quote that got Mundy’s Mill High School senior Paris Gray in trouble was actually kind of clever, if you’re into rap music and the periodic table of elements. Maybe not as clever as the Nine Sexiest Words, but still clever, and if kids are making chemistry jokes, they’re probably doing OK in school. […]
