We read:
"A North Putnam Middle School special education teacher resigned Tuesday after public outrage that stemmed from posts to her Facebook page.
Amber Russell posted, "I love dumb people...I call it job security," among other things, which sparked controversy among parents of students at the school.
"I apologize to the parents and children who have been hurt by the Facebook comments," Superintendent Mary Sugg Lovejoy wrote in a statement. "We will work hard to restore the trust and confidence of our parents and community."

Dumb, dumb, dumb!
It become more obvious with each passing day that generally speaking, people are way too stupid to understand/realize just how damaging these so-called "social networking" sites can be, and in fact, are. Not a day goes by that we don't hear about another major meltdown/scandal somewhere caused by fools who use these sites.
ReplyDeleteA cliche sums it up very nicely: Just because you have toe right to say something does not make it right to say it.
ReplyDeleteThe Internet is like an open mike connected to a loud speaker and recorder. What you say, no matter how small or quiet, will be heard.
At least she didn't call them retards!
ReplyDeleteMentaly retarded are more intellegent then the school aminastraitors
ReplyDeleteNow who's the dumb one??? Can you spell TEACHER !!!
ReplyDeletePerhaps she meant the parents?
ReplyDeleteHad she herself remained dumb she would have spared herself this grief.
ReplyDeleteI can't blame the social sites tho: they just let us see what has been there all along.
That's a good point stinky. These sites give us a good look at ourselves, and it ain't pretty!
ReplyDeleteRemember the old phrase, "the dumbing down of America? Well, it worked!
