Comment: Teachers are supposed to be the caretakers of our young, those who are present to protect and be the example for our children to learn from while parents are away. It's infuriating seeing what this teacher has done, and it will probably scar this poor girl for quite a long time to not trust adults around her. And who can blame her? This a**hole teacher somehow thought it was a good idea to force the girl into the pool, for no good reason. He should never be allowed to teach again. The parents should sue the pants off him.
A California physical education teacher has been charged with corporal injury to a child after video surfaced of him attempting to throw a 14-year-old girl into the pool during his class, News10 reports.
On the video - taken by another student - Edison High School P.E. teacher Denny Peterson can be seen dragging the girl toward the pool while she yells, "My top is falling down."
The lawyer representing her, Gilbert Somera, admitted that the girl was lying about her reason for not wanting to go in the pool - she had had her hair done earlier that day for an event she was attending that evening and didn't want it ruined - before adding that it was immaterial to the way in which she was treated, given the claim she was making.
Comment: Although city governments are becoming rapacious because of a lack of tax revenues, another reason this may be occurring is that Wall Street banks and elitist multi-billionaires have been buying up water all over the world at an unprecedented pace. Goldman Sachs called water "the petroleum for the next century" and has been gobbling up water utilities, water engineering companies, and water resources worldwide. Considering the rampant greed of Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street banks, it's not difficult to see a connection between their ownership of water utilities and price gouging, as it's just another example of predatory capitalism.
