I'm beginning to think that all school principals

need to be legally required to undergo mental illness screenings focusing especially on neurosis and hoplophobia.
So says Ace; I'm thinking he's right.
A police officer who dropped off his daughter at her Phoenix elementary school was asked by the school’s principal not to wear his uniform to the school because other parents were concerned that he was carrying a gun, MyFoxPhoenix.com reported.
What The Hell?

A district spokeswoman told the station that "some parents" voiced concern about seeing a fully armed police officer on the school’s campus. The spokeswoman apologized that Urkov perhaps took the discussion the wrong way.

"It was not the intent of the principal to offend him," the spokeswoman said.
You just told a cop you don't want him around the school in uniform; however could he take that the 'wrong way'?

And 'offend'?  What the hell else is it but an offense against intelligence, reason and plain friggin' common sense?

Meanwhile, school officials' initial reaction was to ask the officer not to wear his gun and uniform to school, they are now saying they want to turn this incident into "a teachable moment."
The only way this could be teachable would be to say "Hey, dumbasses: cops carry guns.  They're THE PEOPLE YOU CALL FOR HELP WHEN YOU NEED SOMEONE WITH A GUN.  So shut the hell up and deal with it, you self-centered hoplophobic morons."

I now regret not taking all the opportunities I had to kick an incomptetent Skule Prinsipel But I repeat myself)or two in the nuts or ass depending on apparent gender. Some teechurs would have benefitted greatly from the same "Personal attention."

I now carry a heavy blackthorn walking stick with a cast brass globe top. The stick is well suited for the edumacation of apparently brain injured "edumacators, public officianators and gauleiters." A sharp blow to the nose or to the back of a hand is a real attention getter and keeper.

I am almost to the point with some people (in principle, at least), where my reply to "I'm offended!" is "Good."
