Facebook and Food Fights in School

I remember being in 8th grade, and sneaking into a movie theatre with my stepbrother to see Fast Times at Ridgemont High. And it's still one of the best teen movies ever made.

After seeing that, everyone tried ordering pizza to our classrooms the way Sean Penn did in Ray Walstons history class.

It never worked.

And I realized then, that movies have school scenes that aren't realistic.

I remember in Animal House, they had a toga party, which you really don't see a lot of. Belushi also found a window with naked women pillow fighting.

Pluto also started a food fight, after spitting mashed potatoes out of his mouth.

Well, in Chicago, they had a food fight last week. And when it was over, 25 students from ages 11 to 15, were arrested and put in jail. Charges included reckless conduct, which is a misdemeanor.

And, it's not like someone broke their nose when a fast thrown apple hit 'em. There were no injuries.

I loved reading about the on-campus police officer who called for backup. What did he possibly say on that radio?

"Get here immediately! Tater tots flying thru the air. And some of them are hot!"

Listen, I'm all for suspending the students; but did police officers and jail really need to become a part of this?

And, I'm sure a teacher in Georgia is wondering about legalities as well. She was fired for having pictures on her Facebook page that show her drinking wine and beer. The principal also said "She used expletives."

The 24-year-old former teacher is looking at suing, and I agree with her on one point -- she wasn't informed of her rights.

The few teachers I know don't have Facebook accounts. Some just don't care enough. The others say it's not worth the risk of having students see their personal info.

You'd think all teachers would use this logic. But if you had a Facebook page and taught children, why use curse words? You should just go by the logic that some student, that's angry with a grade you gave them, will find a way to get onto your page and will print out photos or things you've said in private. It's just not worth the risk.

If you need an avenue where you tell someone what you had for dinner or what you did on Friday night, well...maybe a different profession is in order for ya.

And, someone needs to ask the principal why he was looking at her Facebook page on school time. If the teacher is going to be held accountable, shouldn't he?

On the subject of Facebook, a 19-year-old kid was in jail for a few weeks, until an unusual alibi came out. He was in Harlem, far from the crime scene, posting a message on his Facebook.

His pregnant girlfriend probably isn't going to be happy that the message is coming out. It said: On the phone with this fat chick. Where my IHOP. [sic]

I doubt the kid was smart enough to pull off an armed robbery and have his Facebook account open, although I saw a story on Forensic Files last year where a guy did log on to his computer at 5 a.m. as he drove an hour, to kill his ex-wife and return home. He knew they'd look at his computer activity. And he still didn't get away with it.

The liberals always feel sorry for these people that are "wrongly convicted" of crimes. But there's always more to the story.

The guy was picked out of a police lineup. And, he was involved in a 2008 robbery.

I'm sure now he'll get $50,000 for his two weeks of jail time.

And he'll be able to afford lots of pancakes, for lots of fat chicks.
