Alabama Dept. of Ed. deems 8 recess and gym activities inappropriate to avoid hurt feelings and more


As per the original document, the DOE considers the following eight activities inappropriate for safety, exclusionary, and alienating purposes:

Steal the Bacon
According to the Alabama Department of Education, Steal the Bacon is a “sideline game in which two opposing players come out to the center of the court and compete against each other in front of the entire class.”

This is apparently problematic because it has the “potential for [student] embarrassment.” The DOE says the game “easily qualifies as terrible.”

You can watch a video of how Steal the Bacon works below.


Relay races
The document noted that relay races are essentially useless, as “successes are generally ignored, but failures are fodder for continuing ridicule at least through dismissal at the end of the day.” The advisory against relay races paints kids as trolls with eyes peeled for trips, falls, or failures.

Musical chairs
Musical chairs is also a big no-no, because basically the same person wins the entire time, everyone else feels completely alienated, and all of the castoffs sit around twiddling their thumbs and “spinning mindlessly in circles” on the floor until the winner earns his or her bragging rights.

Kickball
Kickball is also apparently bad, because even though kids are fairly competent enough to organize the game without the teachers holding their hands through the process, there’s a “major potential for embarrassment” if the kicker misses the ball.

Giants, Elves, and Wizards (AKA Crows and Cranes)
The Department of Education doesn’t seem to even know what this game is, and wrote, “participation time is at a bare minimum, the rules take forever to explain, and even then, students are still confused.”

The game, according to the document, “usually ends when two students crash heads together.”

You can watch a video of how this game works below.


Duck, Duck, Goose
Educators apparently believe “Duck, Duck, Goose” is a useless game because it’s loud, and apparently not much of a physical activity outside exercising kids’ vocal chords.

The document read, “Everyone else [besides the ‘goose’ and ‘duck’] just sits and screams at ear-shattering pitch and decibel levels.”

Dodgeball
The DOE’s documentation on dodgeball is cut and dry, and even penned in red ink, which apparently means a very serious business.

About dodgeball, the DOE said, “There are no standards in the Alabama Course of Study: Physical Education for any grade that supports/justifies this activity (variation or any other name) where a student or students are targets of thrown objects.”

None. No objects. Not even half-inflated balls that make embarrassing noises when they strike a child rather than actually injure them.

Yoga
Forget useless — yoga has been outright illegal to teach in Alabama schools since 1993 because of Hindu religion connotations and mind-altering consciousnesses.

Yoga, however, made the list and is simply just flat-out prohibited.

Gun Laws Didn’t Protect Victims of the Jacksonville Shooter. They Left Them Defenseless.
For 16 long seconds, an unhinged individual stood completely unopposed by a roomful of unarmed victims.
Thursday, August 30, 2018


This past weekend, a competitor at a video game competition in Jacksonville, Florida, allegedly opened fire on fellow gamers, killing two and wounding 10 before taking his own life.

It appears that, like so many mass public shooters before him, current gun laws should have been enough to prevent him from possessing firearms. And once again, the gun laws did little more than impose barriers for law-abiding citizens who were then left defenseless.--Swearer
 
A Failure of Enforcement
It’s evident that the alleged shooter has many of the traits common among mass public shooters. He comes from an extremely dysfunctional family and has a history of mental health and behavioral problems. He was a relative social outcast who, while not quite paranoid, appeared to think he was oppressed by his family and society.

He was never convicted of a crime but had numerous interactions with law enforcement because of a tendency toward outbursts that displayed oppositional or threatening behavior. He did poorly in school and eventually dropped out of college.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that this shooting did not owe to a failure of laws on the books, but a failure to enforce existing laws.

In-N-Out, the famous California burger chain that out-of-towners frequent when visiting the Golden State, is about to get the Chick-fil-A treatment.

According to LAMag, the burger chain known for printing John 3:16 on their cups "gave $25,000 to the California Republican Party this week." The donation was confirmed by a public filing on the Secretary of State’s website, initially spotted by Washington, D.C.-based journalist Gabe Schneider

You sure concern yourself with small, individual instances as if they are making a difference while you ignore the big picture and what it shows of America/Americans.
