Hysterical principal threatens parents with arrest for walking their children to and from school

bear branch elementary school
Parents are removing their children from Bear Branch Elementary School after the principal allegedly banned them from school grounds and threatened violators with arrest.

Parents told Fox 26 that Bear Branch principal Holly Ray instituted a new policy at the beginning of the year that banned parents from walking their students to or from the school building, forcing them to either wait in a long car line or put their kids on the bus.

"She's threatening to arrest people," parent Wendy Jarman said.

Jarman told Fox 26 she used to escort her children to school, but Ray's decision to ban the practice and Montgomery County Constables who are enforcing the principal's decree convinced her to transfer her kids to private school.

"This has happened to many parents," Jarman said. "They have been cited. They have been threatened, if they step one foot on school property, they will be arrested and charged with who knows what."

Venezuelan workers will get Fridays off in the months of April and May, in a bid to save energy in the black-out hit country, the president said.

President Nicolas Maduro said Venezuelans will have "long weekends" in an appearance on state television on Wednesday night, announcing the measure as part of a 60-day plan to fight a power crunch.

"This plan for 60 days, for two months, will allow the country to get through the most difficult period with the most risk. I call on families, on the youth, to join this plan with discipline, with conscience and extreme collaboration to confront this extreme situation," Maduro said.

Additional protests in other states with a larger call to action for inmates to protest prison abuses starting in September.

On Monday, prison inmates around the United States called for a series of strikes against forced labor, broken parole systems, abusive prison policies, and solitary confinement, along with calls for better health care and generally more humane living conditions.

In Texas alone, inmates at five major prisons refused to leave their cells Monday with a letter circulating among the prisons listing a series of grievances ranging from an end to the financially-ruinous $100 medical co-pays to a call for the state to drastically downsize the state's incarcerated population.

"Texas's prisoners are the slaves of today, and that slavery affects our society economically, morally and politically," stated the five-page letter announcing the strike. "Beginning on April 4, 2016, all inmates around Texas will stop all labor in order to get the attention from politicians and Texas's community alike."

Hysteria! College students freak out and mistake priest for KKK member

On Monday, students at Indiana University Bloomington mistook a priest for a Ku Klux Klan member, taking to social media to express their fear of the alleged Klansman, who they claimed was carrying a whip, and dressed in "white robes."

Rumors of a Klansman on campus were extinguished after it was pointed out that the passerby was actually a priest innocently making his way through Bloomington, Indiana. When sighted on campus, students thought his white robes indicated an affiliation with the KKK.

Comment: "This is what happens when there is miscommunication." This is also what happens a nation is primed to look for threats around every corner and college students behave more like kindergartners than adults.

A two-year national study conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs found that 280 out of some 2,000 veterans reported suicidal thinking. At more than triple the rate for the general public, the authors hope to highlight ways to address the issue.

The first wave of the study was conducted in 2011, with a second following in 2013. The research was led by Dr. Robert Pietrzak of the Clinical Neuroscience Division of the VA's National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Veterans were contacted twice and asked if they had "experienced suicidal thoughts in the past two weeks," among other questions.

Comment: Another recent study has shown that the suicide rate among recent veterans is 50 percent higher than non-military civilians; 22 veterans take their own lives every day. The US government's lack of compassion for its soldiers mirrors the its complete moral bankruptcy and contempt for humanity.

Florida governor Rick Scott was given a proverbial tongue lashing Tuesday when a woman publicly shamed him for his recent signing of an anti-abortion bill and Medicaid cut.

Scott was attempting to buy a coffee at a local Gainesville Starbucks when Lake Worth activist Cara Jennings decided to confront him about cutting funding to clinics that provide abortions.

"You stripped women of access to public health care. Shame on you Rick Scott," she yelled.

When Scott directed the former commissioner for Lake Worth to the county hall clinic the conversation soon escalated.

Psychopathy wins: Judge dismisses Kesha's claims against abusive producer, 'Dr. Luke'

kesha sony
© Getty28-year-old singer Kesha burst into tears after judge rules she must honour her Sony contract with producer Lukasz Sebastian (mostly known as 'Dr. Luke') who allegedly drugged and raped her.
A New York judge on Wednesday dismissed pop singer Kesha's sexual assault claims against her producer, ruling that the allegations don't rise to the level of human rights crimes.

Kesha, who shot to fame with the 2010 hit "Tik Tok," claimed that her producer Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald drugged and sexually assaulted her, and physically and verbally tormented her for a decade. Gottwald has never been charged and has denied the claims.

Manhattan State Supreme Court Justice Shirley Werner Kornreich ruled Wednesday that the abuse claims can't go forward because they happened outside of New York and the statute of limitations expired.

The judge also ruled the claims don't prove any alleged violence "was motivated by gender animus" under hate crime laws.

"Every rape is not a gender-motivated hate crime," Kornreich said in the ruling.

"Her claims of insults about her value as an artist, her looks, and her weight are insufficient to constitute extreme, outrageous conduct intolerable in civilized society," the judge wrote.


Comment: We see that the system is designed to protect the abusers, not the victims. How is sexual assault against a woman while at her place of work, along with a constant barrage of psychological and verbal abuse, not the perfect example of 'extreme, outrageous conduct intolerable in civilized society'? The judge basically admits the potential for the rape to have occurred, and then in the same breath says, 'well, there's nothing we can do because of technicalities a, b & c.'


Comment: To a psychopath, a little sister can be an endless source of 'fun', someone to torment and abuse while painting oneself as the victim to the parents. Check out this SOTT Exclusive article on the subject: Psychopathic producers, abusive companies, and the greed of Sony

So secret that it's for your safety...

It isn't the first time that military, SWAT teams, FBI, police and Homeland Security officials have conducted large-scale emergency exercises inside cities and frightened the locals.

Joint task force mock disasters, raids and response teams now routinely takeover local areas in order to prepare for martial law and a thorough police state, and people are often riled by the sounds of explosions, gunshots, helicopters and teams of men in black uniforms.
