Alyssa McKinney has learned a valuable lesson courtesy of Lewis-Palmer Middle School in Monument, Colorado (and its primary asshole Superintendent of Schools John Borman)...astardorman are going to be the destruction of whatever good is left in this country. A person's life was very likely at stake and this soulless automaton doesn't give a damn. All that matters is absolute obedience to The Rules and those who decree them.
“The lesson that I learned from this is not to help people, because helping people is just going to get yourself in trouble,” McKinney said.McKinney's classmate Breana Crites was having an asthma attack during a gym class last month. Alyssa McKinney let Crites borrow her asthma inhaler. It might have saved Breana Crites' life, or at the very least kept her from being hospitalized.
But for that act of Good Samaritanship, Alyssa was placed on ten days' suspension (with the possibility of expulsion if the school "administration" judges she makes one measly further "mistake) and Crites was expelled for the rest of the year.
Superintendent John Borman had this to say...
“I think absolutely the suspension was appropriate.”People like B
They'll still be insisting "But we were only following orders" right up to the moment that they're thrown against the wall.
Tip o' the hat to Scott Bradford for directing our attention to this latest instance of public education insanity.
