And when there's stupid in Texas, it's big too; specifically Kermit Elementary Principal Roxanne Greer

bringing the stupid bigtime:
Kermit Elementary School officials called it a threat when the 9-year-old boy, Aiden Steward, in a playful act of make-believe, told a classmate he could make him disappear with a ring forged in fictional Middle Earth’s Mount Doom.
No, really.  Not kidding.  And the stupid gets even bigger!
Kermit Elementary Principal Roxanne Greer told the Odessa American that she could not comment on the suspension, because “all student stuff is confidential,” but Steward said that she told him that any and all threats to a child’s safety — including magical ones — would be taken seriously by the school.

He also said that he requested, in writing, a detailed explanation as to how his son’s statements constituted a “terroristic threat,” and that he was told by a representative of the Kermit Independent School District that the school would mail him a letter.
In a way, that last is good; get the stupid in writing.

Texas, what the hell is going on down there?  First telling kids to drop their pants in public, and now this?

In their defense, Kermit just lately got electrified lighting and indoor plumbing. It's about as backwater as Texas gets. We've considered giving it to New Mexico a few times.

And now we know why Principal Greer has a peculiar fascination with Harry Potter and Hogwart's School of Wizardry. My guess is that she thinks she's a Gryffindor. Pffff.

What is going on is there are hordes of Utopian Communists piling in from other states taking up "Educator" positions because they can't afford the Liberal Paradise's they came from anymore. You get more bang for your buck with real estate in Texas. They are catching on to that. I've had several occasions to voice my opinion about Communists at my daughter's school. They know I know what they are up to and will not even make eye contact with me anymore when I wear my USMC SAT CONG Shirt and American Flag lapels on my Condor hats. It's a fucking joke what has happened to Texas in the last 6 years. I'll keep fighting these bastards, you can bet on that. I'm Texan born and raised. We don't like "change".
