Administrators at a public school in Texas are investigating why more than 20 elementary school students were lined up and forced to drop their drawers in an unorthodox examination that many parents say went too far.
On Monday, several school children reported being divided into male and female groups at a school in the small North Texas town of Gustine, where they were ordered to enter separate rooms and expose their underwear for “poop inspections.”
The school’s justification? Faculty members “have been finding poop on the gym floor,” according to WFAA.
“I said I didn’t want to, but I was told I had to because all the kids had to,” recalled 11-year-old Eliza Medina.
“I felt uncomfortable, and I didn’t want to do it,” the young student claimed. “I felt like they violated my privacy.”
Medina’s mother, Maria, says she was angered when she learned teachers told kids “To pull down their pants to check them to see if they could find anything.”
“I was furious… I mean, I was furious,” the outraged mother said. “If you can’t do your job or you don’t know what you’re doing, you need to be fired. You shouldn’t be here.”
The Gustine Independent School District Superintendent, Ken Baugh, reportedly condemned the school’s invasive search for the serial pooper
“That’s not appropriate, and we do not condone that. So you would take disciplinary action,” Baugh told WFAA.
However, the superintendent also said he was under the impression that kids had only been asked to “lower their pants just a little,” according to reports he’d reviewed.
Eliza countered the educator’s claim, describing the underwear search as going all the way down to “Like… to where your butt is.”
There’s some horrible malady going round in Texas right now and has been for nearly a month. It starts with a headache, stomach distress and for very many, acute diarrhea will be the first symptom. I can attest no age group is exempt from it as my boss’s 7 year old son shit his pants the day after I did my own.
It’s not like you know it’s coming and I’d imagine as great a percentage of “administrators” and “teachers’ have had the same malady. I’d have to agree with PtB.
I had a hotshot load involving a huge electrical transformer and some other large electrical equipment. After I backed under it and the crane had set down both units I was trying to chain it all down when I had an “uh-oh” moment. I hurried to the nearest porta potty and did the best clean-up I could. Nausea and vertigo have been rampant with this too. Not sure I know anyone who hasn’t had this malady.
Too bad the DOT didn’t stop me so I could have showed them what I’ve always wanted to. Take a swab, might be drugs involved there and you a-holes know how badly you want to bust somebody. Go ahead, you can use my flashlight. Here’s some old underwear you can take with you just to make sure you have enough sample.
Sorry for the confusion 8SM – I didn’t mean the school officials left the crap – I meant they WERE the crap.
PtB, no confusion here. I was just pointing out the other half of the equation. I can tell you from in-depth conversations with young people these days they aren’t taught “crap”. Administrators are merely the upright, walking versions of explosive diarrhea. Having said that, how many of those people do you think are willing to admit to having acute diarrhea?? Even if they didn’t deposit it in the gym…..or even if they did?
But Clover and the other voters deposited the biggest pile in the Superintendent’s chair.
Remember when school consolidation was ‘sold’ to the voters/tax cattle as being more cost effective? Now there are more administrators and support staff than there are teachers (if you can call them that).
If they find a piece of ‘poop’ on the floor, isn’t it most likely a teacher, administrator or visiting politician?
