Long Island Middle School Bans Footballs, Other Recreational Items

Concerns About Injuries Prompted Ban, Port Washington Officials Say
PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Worries about injuries at a Long Island school
have led to a surprising ban.
As CBS 2’s Jennifer McLogan reported Monday, officials at Weber Middle School in Port Washington are worried that students are getting hurt during recess. Thus, they have instituted a ban on footballs, baseballs, lacrosse balls, or anything that might hurt someone on school grounds.
I swear, ladies and gentlemen, it’s another new abrogation every day, dealt by Leftists, sworn to continue the pussification of our country. I can think of no other word. An attempt to turn our boys into little girls, and anything physical into something evil.
But the students will have no such option anymore. They were just informed that during recess, football is out and Nerf ball is in. Hard soccer balls have been banned, along with baseballs and lacrosse balls, rough games of tag, or cartwheels unless supervised by a coach.
And there you go. Football, out. Tag, out. Lacrosse, out. Baseballs, out. And God forbid any little girl or boy should do an UNSUPERVISED cartwheel — may they rot in public school festering hell.
But Port Washington schools Supt. Kathleen Maloney said the change in policy is warranted due to a rash of playground injuries.
Oh my God, how terrible. Playground injuries. Scraped knees. Bruised elbows. Perhaps even the occasional broken bone. HEINOUS! UNACCEPTABLE!
Without helmets and pads, children are much more susceptible to getting hurt, experts said.
Excellent point. Children should wear helmets, chest plates, hockey gloves, football knee pads and motocross back braces if they wish to play tag. They could fall. Gravity could occur.
Long Island Jewish Medical Center emergency room director Dr. Salvatore Pardo said he has been seeing “head injuries, bumps, scrapes; worried about concussions.”
Oh my God. A bump! Stop the presses! School children get BUMPS! Even worse: school children using recreational equipment may be subject to SCRAPES!
All this whilst little Mohammad in Syria, sodomized by strangers, living off scraps from the Muslim Brotherhood, forced into a Madrasa, taught how to fire an AK-47, is twice as tough — at age 11 — as most current US Army soldiers. And as US soldiers already know in the Middle East about Muslim men: women are for procreation, men and boys are for pleasure.
I am so, so glad I never had children. How do parents dare to expose their children to any public school venue at all, these days, if they want a fit, sane, intelligent, creative and sound-thinking bit of progeny?

First Amendment Word Police: “Seattle officials call for ban on ‘potentially offensive’ language”
From FoxNews.com:
Government workers in the city of Seattle have been advised that the terms “citizen” and “brown bag” are potentially offensive and may no longer be used in official documents and discussions.
KOMO-TV reports that the city’s Office of Civil Rights instructed city workers in a recent internal memo to avoid using the words because some may find them offensive.
Right. “Citizen.” “Brown bag.” Offensive. Let’s see; to whom? Oh yes, illegals. Mexicans specifically.
“Luckily, we’ve got options,” Elliott Bronstein of the Office for Civil Rights wrote in the memo obtained by the station. “For ‘citizens,’ how about ‘residents?'”
Luckily, there isn’t one set of actual testicles in the entire OCR.
Seattle, however, isn’t the only city with an eye on potentially disruptive words.
The New York Post reported in March 2012 that the city’s Department of Education avoids references to words like “dinosaurs,” “birthdays,” “Halloween” and dozens of other topics on city-issued tests because they could evoke “unpleasant emotions” among the students.
Dinosaurs, for example, conjures the topic of evolution, which could rile fundamentalists and birthdays are not celebrated by Jehovah’s Witnesses. Halloween, meanwhile, suggests an affiliation to Paganism.
Officials said such exclusions are normal procedure, insisting it’s not censorship.
Of course. That Bill of Rights and First Amendment, such a terribly oppressive and limiting document.
Heavy sigh.

A joke becomes reality: Williams-Sonoma pulls pressure cookers from shelves
As I’ve said for years, you can’t write this shite.
You’ve heard all the jokes: “When pressure cookers are outlawed, only outlaws will have pressure cookers.”
So, in a serious note, Williams-Sonoma buys into this meme.
From Reason.com:
Following the Boston Marathon bombing last Monday in which pressure cookers were used for the explosion, the cookware giant has decided to temporarily stop selling the items in their Massachusetts stores.
“It’s a temporary thing out of respect,” said Kent, who is the Store Manager of the Williams-Sonoma at the Natick Mall.
He referred Patch to corporate for further questions. Williams-Sonoma also has a local branch at Legacy Place in Dedham.
Pressure cookers will still be available on the Williams-Sonoma website.
Oh my God.
We are a nation that is SO incredibly ripe for takeover.

Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American
From Salon.com:
There is a double standard: White terrorists are dealt with as lone wolves, Islamists are existential threats
As we now move into the official Political Aftermath period of the Boston bombing — the period that will determine the long-term legislative fallout of the atrocity — the dynamics of privilege will undoubtedly influence the nation’s collective reaction to the attacks. That’s because privilege tends to determine: 1) which groups are — and are not — collectively denigrated or targeted for the unlawful actions of individuals; and 2) how big and politically game-changing the overall reaction ends up being.
This has been most obvious in the context of recent mass shootings. In those awful episodes, a religious or ethnic minority group lacking such privilege would likely be collectively slandered and/or targeted with surveillance or profiling (or worse) if some of its individuals comprised most of the mass shooters. However, white male privilege means white men are not collectively denigrated/targeted for those shootings — even though most come at the hands of white dudes.
Likewise, in the context of terrorist attacks, such privilege means white non-Islamic terrorists are typically portrayed not as representative of whole groups or ideologies, but as “lone wolf” threats to be dealt with as isolated law enforcement matters. Meanwhile, non-white or developing-world terrorism suspects are often reflexively portrayed as representative of larger conspiracies, ideologies and religions that must be dealt with as systemic threats — the kind potentially requiring everything from law enforcement action to military operations to civil liberties legislation to foreign policy shifts.
Right.
Once again, Caucasoids are fundamentally responsible for the consummate ills of the world, millions of years ago and now.
