"I got fired. I was packing my stuff, and I was not going to see the kids," former teacher, Diane Tirado said.
Because she wasn't allowed to say goodbye to her students, Tirado wrote the following message on her whiteboard, explaining what happened. The words are profound and expose a major problem with "education" in America today.
"Bye kids, Mrs. Tirado loves you and wishes you the best in life! I have been fired for refusing to give you a 50% for not handing anything in. [heart] Mrs. Tirado."

Often the genesis of alteration from human to flesh-eating zombie is ascribed to an act of science-gone-wrong, as in the case of the film, I Am Legend. At the outset of this 2007 film, we see a clip of an interview with a well-intentioned scientist, whose efforts at genetic manipulation, intending to cure cancer, end up causing the zombie outbreak.
Besides providing fast-paced entertainment and an adrenaline rush, what do the Zombie Apocalypse movies actually reveal? They present us with a world where the human population has been divided in two-predator and prey-and prey must find a way both to survive and to return the world back to a semblance of normality.
Comment: To answer the author's excellent question: Understanding psychopathy - and the myriad of forces that strengthen its propagation - would seem to be a good start.

Still from the now-deleted video.
Still from the now-deleted video.
The video features violent scenes of the rapper, Nick Conrad, and another black man torturing and killing a white male. The duo give the man a chance to escape, telling him to run fast - "as the blacks do" - then shoot him in the back for being too slow. Conrad then forces the white man to bite a kerbstone and stomps on his head, in an apparent reference to the movie American History X. The victim is then seen hanged from a post behind the rapper and his sidekicks.
The graphic footage is accompanied by equally shocking lyrics, with Conrad rapping "I go to nurseries and kill white babies" while hanging their parents "to entertain black kids of all ages."
The video, uploaded to Youtube on September 17, gained several thousand views before being removed on Wednesday. Clips from the video, however, are still available on some Youtube accounts and other sites.
Comment: One wonders; had this happened in the US, where 'social justice' and 'white guilt' have become what seems like the norm, would there have been any condemnation by the media or government? Or would he have gotten a job at the New York Times, like Sarah Jeong?
A joint study by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology and Pact, an international non-profit, found that the index on demanding bribes rose from 20.9 points in a similar study performed in 2015, to 25.4 points in the 2018 study. The index tracking the giving of bribes also rose, from 6.6 points in 2015 to 7.8 points in 2018.
Almost 37 percent of those polled claimed they had been asked to give bribes, and almost 15 percent said they had offered bribes in 2018, according to the poll.
The study was conducted in July and August, with more than 10,000 people polled nationally. Similar studies have been conducted every four years since 2007.

Editor's note: It has come to our attention that this story is mostly false. The woman did not use a shotgun or "blow the intruder's head off," nor was the intruder attempting to rape the woman's child at the time he was shot.A notorious pedophile has been found dead by police after he was shot dead during the attempted rape of a 12-year old girl at a property in Morgantown, West Virginia.
For a more accurate version of this story, please see this link. Sott.net will no longer be publishing articles from the 'ABC 14' web site.
The 42-year old mother of the girl told investigators that she woke in the early hours of the morning after hearing a commotion in her daughters room. She grabbed a shotgun from her closet and rushed to her daughter's room, where she was confronted by the sight of an unidentified man struggling with her daughter.
Startled, the man turned around to face the mother, at which point she fired directly into his face, blowing off most of his head. The rapist - a 53 year old sex offender known to police for a series of crimes on young victims - died instantly.
The mother took her daughter with her and drove directly to a nearby police station where she made her statement to officers. "Deputies arrived at the scene and discovered the body of a deceased male," said one investigator. "As our enquiry is ongoing we are yet to release the name of the suspect, or the victims involved, but we can confirm that the dead man is on the West Virginia Sex Offender Registry.
The mother and daughter are now staying with relatives as their property remains an active crime scene. It is not clear at this point if any charges will be filed against the mother. Victims rights groups have said they expect she will be cleared of any wrongdoing once the investigation is complete. As one member who spoke to the media said: "Can you imagine confronting a rapist in your child's bedroom? I think all of us would agree he got what he deserved."

Pippi in Rinkeby is to be transmitted as a radio series on state-funded Radio Sweden not just in Swedish, but popular minority languages, including Romanian and Arabic. The story, in which Pippi is a homeless migrant, who inhabits a car wreck, will then be published as a book.
"She is the world's strongest and most self-sufficient girl and takes total care of herself. Everything is as in the original, but we have made it our own version," 12-year-old Felicia Di Fransesco, who helped develop the story in a children's writing workshop, told Sweden Radio.
Comment: The radical leftists seem to want to change every cultural touchstone. They should write their own stories and see if they stick instead of taking an already admired story and turning it into Liberal Utopia.

Cosby was sentenced on Tuesday over the assault, which took place at his Philadelphia home back in 2004. The sentence was a bit lighter than demanded by prosecution, which urged the judge to put the comedian from five to 10 years behind bars.
"No one is above the law and no one should be treated differently or disproportionately based on where they live or who they are," or based on "wealth, celebrity, philanthropy," Judge Steven O'Neil said Tuesday, sentencing the actor.
The Wrap reports that NBC Nightly News just had it's "lowest-rated September-to-September year ever."
The report continues, stating that the Lester Holt-hosted show "delivered its lowest-rated year ever in both total viewers and the all-important adults 25-54 demographic, according to available numbers dating back to Nielsen electronic data began in 1991."
This is just the latest bit of bad news for NBC. The company has been rocked by reports detailing how the company covered up sexual assault allegations made against Harvey Weinstein, preventing their reporter, Ronan Farrow, from publishing a story about Weinstein's alleged history of sexual harassment and assault.
Comment: That's it, Mr. Tyson - keep normalizing the development of tools for technological destruction and dominance because of all the kewl science that can be derived from it.
