This link has been going around on my facebook feed.  It's basically a bunch of stories that are most likely taken out of context to fight against the pussification of america.  America!

You just assume they're taken out of context because the stories seem unreasonable.

i looked up one that seemed fishy to me, about the "girl suspended for saying no to drugs."  it wasn't exactly like that.  she took a pill from a friend and then got caught while giving it back.  of course you're going to be suspended if you're caught giving drugs to a classmate.


also, interesting if true.

So, when they found out the truth did they apologize and reinstate her?

I assume they are taken out of context because they didn't include any links to articles about the story.  They want people to go on whatever part of the story that they feel is relevant.

Quote
Leah O'Donnell, MacLean's mother, told National Post that she received a phone call from the school's vice principal the day of the incident informing her that the school does not "condone heroics" and that her son should have sought out a teacher's help.

“I asked: ‘In the time it would have taken him to go get a teacher, could that kid’s throat have been slit?’ She said yes, but that’s beside the point. That we ‘don’t condone heroics in this school,’” O'Donnell told National Post.

2.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/18/kindergarten-suspension-pink-bubble-gun_n_2507017.html

Quote
The kindergartener was waiting in the bus line with two friends when she made the remark about her pink bubble gun. The next day, officials at Mount Carmel Area Elementary School allegedly questioned the student for three hours about the incident without her parents' knowledge, local news outlet the Daily Item reports.

According to central Pennsylvania's PennLive.com, the kindergarten student was initially suspended for 10 days, but the suspension was reduced to two, after her mother addressed the issue with the school's principal, Susan Nestico. Despite the reduction, Ficker and the family are seeking a full expungement of the suspension, along with a public apology.

School administrator Marty Bell told WHAS News that Rachel Greer violated school policy by simply being present. Bell faulted the teenager for putting out her hand:

    "Someone hands them a pill or a drug or something like that and they say well I said no I didn't participate. Well the act of saying no is not to be there, not to be involved in the handling the you know they didn't have to put their hand out," says Marty Bell of Greater Clark County Schools.

No, America just wasn't pussified back then, so I really doubt that happened.
