I’d like to dedicate the following to the fine folks in charge of my school. I know you’re reading this, so this one is juuust for you.

Let’s start off with something simple, like this word: Bullshit. You may be wondering what, exactly, bullshit is. Well! It’s wonderful that I’m here to enlighten you folks (hell I’ve already got you spying on my page and making pathetic attempts at monitoring my forum, so you may as well learn something while you’re here). This is what bullshit is:

It’s when a man- specifically the father of a great teacher who was killed last year- out of the massive generosity of his heart, donates $18,000 in scholarship money to students attending the public school his son taught at, only to have the honor of receiving such a generous gift shunned because the people in charge of that school are far more interested in covering their own asses than anything else. Moreover, those people covering their asses? They’re too fearful to explain to the general populous why- which is fantastically ironic, considering the only thing they’re afraid of is based on hearsay. Aw, is we afwaid of public backlash? Hmm? Yeah, if you’re going to throw bullshit at us at least give us the real reason behind it, you cowards. This teacher that we’re remembering? Did nothing but good for this school while he was here and to illustrate that, here stops the charades:

The man in question- this man- was involved with marijuana. There is solid evidence the man smoked it, nobody denies that. However, there is not solid evidence (see above reference to “hearsay”) that he did anything more with it. And I don’t know about you, but I rather like the idea of “innocent until proven guilty” and I find it more than offensive that anyone is willing to forfeit the memory of a great teacher over a stupid decision he may or may not have made. And you know, even if he had made that decision I would bet any important appendage of mine that it was an isolated incident and he wasn’t interested in doing it again, because if there’s one thing high school kids are good at, it’s finding out the details to these sorts of things.

Let’s take a look at another word: Hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is when you advertise to students for applications to this scholarship in your daily announcements for a solid week, but turn right around after the winners have been chosen and claim you have no interest in congratulating them publicly. If that’s how you choose to respect your students, then way to go guys! As far respect that you deserve goes, you’ve just relegated yourselves to the level of pond scum! Very nice!

And our last word of the day: Morons. You give students a chance to win a large amount of money- in an amount that would make ANY PARENT PROUD to have their kid stand up in front of an audience and receive- but won’t recognize in public that you did? And you justify your hypocrisy based on something that you’ve known all along? It’s a wonder your spawn don’t have down syndrome, because that is some sad and deeply rooted idiocy.

Everyone makes stupid mistakes and Groff was very much human. So while you sit there and piss all over his family’s continued generosity to this community, understand this- We knew him, you didn’t. We knew what kind of person he was, and it was the sort that deserves a scholarship in his name to be recognized. Pot and any activities relating to the use of it, is not murder. It is not pedophilia. It is not even close to the damage you risk inflicting by buying booze for minors. He never put a child in harm’s way, and I guarantee you he went out of his way to make sure he didn’t do that or anything else that would harm the precious little reputation we have as a school system. But apparently, this is the sort of man we shouldn’t honor in public.

Funny, just when you think you’ve got the right idea of what’s fair and what isn’t- BAM! You get jump-kicked in the face by a redneck.

But hey, it certainly is lovely seeing institutions run by the same insecure halfwits I’ve put up with every day of my life in high school. I mean isn’t it comforting to know that civilization is slowly de-evolving into a constant state of fear over what everyone might think? Because we’re well on our way to that state when the people in charge of our public schools are absolutely terrified that someone would think they made a mistake in hiring a teacher that wasn’t squeaky clean in their personal life, yet clearly loved his job and would never have done anything to jeopardize the life of a student.

Like I said, this post is just for you. Hypocritical, bullshitting, cowardly morons that you are.
