Rhymes with stupid.

Proof positive, my American friends, that your "unrestricted" free speech rights are anything but: http://ace.mu.nu/archives/340486.php

Do your teens know about the Fifth Amendment:

An Illinois high school teacher was docked a day’s pay and issued a formal reprimand after he warned students about their Fifth Amendment rights before answering a school-mandated survey about at-risk behavior, Fox News reports.

“I advised my students that they had a Fifth Amendment right not incriminate themselves,” John Dryden, a social studies teacher at Batavia High School, told The Kane County Chronicle on Tuesday. “It was not my intention for them not to take the survey.”

But the school’s superintendent, Jack Barshinger, said the teacher broke the rules.

“The issue before the board was whether one employee had the right to mischaracterize the efforts of teachers, counselors, social workers and others and tell students in effect that the adults are not here to help but they are trying to get you to incriminate yourself,” he said in a statement after a closed session.

I knew by the time I was in junior high school that the majority of the staff in the schools were out for themselves. The students were incidental to their lives.
