This Reeks Of Mayo: Idaho School Teachers Dressed Up As Mexican Border Wall for Halloween

Getty Images Idaho School Teachers Dressed Up as Mexican Border Wall for Halloween Yet another group of people are in the news for thinking Halloween was an excuse to be blatantly racist…but are we really surprised? Employees of Middleton Heights Elementary School thought they were killing it when they came up with the idea of dressing up as a Mexican border wall that featured the phrase, “Make America Great Again” for Halloween. But that’s not all, folks, other staffers were apart of the elaborate costume, too, spotted wearing stereotypical sombreros, ponchos, and fake mustaches. Idaho’s Middleton school district apologized after elementary school teachers dressed as a border wall and Mexican stereotypes for Halloween. The superintendent said the costumes were “clearly insensitive and inappropriate” but denied any “malicious” intent. pic.twitter.com/DwDDRuxoqE — AJ+ (@ajplus) November 2, 2018 Very shorty after the photos surfaced on Facebook, Superintendent Josh Middleton issued an apology on livestream. Though he acknowledged that the costumes were insensitive, he said that he doesn’t believe the staffers had malicious intent. “Last night, a parent contacted me expressing concern of staff costumes worn here on Halloween,” he said. “I’m deeply troubled by the decision by our staff members to wear those costumes that are clearly insensitive and inappropriate … We are better than this.” He continued, “We already have district administration looking into the matter first thing this morning…Do I think there was a malicious intent in these poor decisions? No, I don’t. Was there a poor judgment involved? Absolutely.” About a dozen Idaho-based advocacy groups—including the ACLU of Idaho, Immigrant Justice Idaho, and PODER of Idaho—released an open letter to the district’s superintendent Friday afternoon, expressing their concerns about the harm that was caused by the offensive costumes. “The intent or misjudgments of the individuals involved does not undo the trauma experienced by students, families and communities,” the letter reads. “The impact on these students does not stay only with them but has lasting effects beyond the school or classroom. We believe the school and classrooms have now become hostile environments that are not conducive to the education of the students.” The staffers who wore the costumes have not been publicly identified yet, and it is currently unclear if they face termination or any disciplinary actions for the costumes.

Courtland Rogers: Out of Jail, Hoping to Win Back Jenelle Evans?

Back in November of 2015, Jenelle Evans’ ex-husband,  Courtland Rogers, was arrested for possession of heroin . A month later Rogers was sentenced to three years behind bars. A habitual offender with a rap sheet a mile long, Rogers didn’t seem to be a candidate for early release, but it seems the parole board has taken mercy on the 31-year-old, possibly as a result of his long battle with addiction. Radar Online is reporting today that Rogers will be released from Tabor County Correctional Institution on March 18. “There is an advanced supervised release program,” a prison authority tells the site. “They have to meet a certain criteria and not get certain infractions and be in classes to have a reduced sentence.” Naturally, Rogers’ release has raised one looming question in the mind of Teen Mom 2 fans: Will Courtland try to get back in contact with Jenelle? The idea might seem ridiculous, as Jenelle is engaged to David Eason these days, but she and Courtland shared a deep connection at one point. It probably seems like a different life to Jenelle at this point (It was, after all, two baby daddies ago.), but it’s been less than three years since Evans and Rogers divorced. Of course, things move awfully fast in the Carolina Hurricane’s world. When Rogers went to prison, Jenelle was yet to get pregnant by Eason, and now the couple has a one-month old daughter together and are in the process of planning a wedding. If it were any other Teen Mom cast member, or for that matter, anyone else on reality television, we’d say these are all signs of stability pointing toward a future of quiet domesticity. Jenelle courts chaos, and nothing would throw her life into disarray like ditching her fiance for her deeply troubled ex. We’re not saying that’s what’s going to happen, mind you. We’re just saying when it comes to Jenelle, no possibility should be ruled out. The fact is, Jenelle and Courtland were both pretty terrible to each other, but they were also both in the grips of debilitating addictions. We hope for the sake of everyone involved that Jenelle doesn’t try to rekindle her romance with Rogers, but we also hope she’s open to the idea of getting back in touch with Rogers. Exchanging hugs and apologies could prove tremendously beneficial for both of them. And as a bonus, their reunion would make for a solid Teen Mom 2 special.

Lindsay Lohan Supports Refugees of the Day

Lindsay Lohan wore a hijab while visiting Syrian refugees, which I guess is a cause close to her hot as she has immersed herself into Russia and arabic, they are the only people rich enough to support her life of luxury needs, while being impressed that the infidel was white girl, almost transparent white – from the movies. I am a fan of Lohan and all her identity crisis, outbursts of crazy, philanthrobic ventures, because I know at her core that it all stems from being robbed of her childhood, not having a real identity of her own, and attempting to have substance, or give back to things she may or may not understand, because the only cause that will allow her near by is one that is in desperate need of help…she’s also got a lot of time on her hands and Hollywood doesn’t give a fuck about her anymore…so she’s doing what she can to either get noticed, talked about, or to seemingly sleep better at night knowing she burned through millions of dollars that could have actually helped these people instead of pay for legal bills, her drugs, and hotel rooms during her manic era… You it’s nice to see she’s trying to appear to have a soul..but none of these people actually have souls. It’s all self serving bullshit…and this is what she had to say about her conversion to Muslim in this dark time, after dabbling in other religions from Jewish to Catholic….Lesbian…depending on what dick was inside her at the time…including but not limited to Samantha Ronsons’… I met a wonderful aid worker (Azize) at The Refugee Camp in Antep. She saw that my eyes lit up when I told her that her headscarf is beautiful. She waved to me and said, come with me, I followed her and she gifted it to me. I was so moved and touched by this that I wanted to wear it in appreciation for all of the generosity and love I received from everyone at the camp It’s all so silly…but to make things sillier… Let’s ask your president what he thinks of this….and according to a 2004 Howard Stern interview – that seems to be the go to on Trump’s opinion of things very important to being the next president…. “There’s something there right?” Trump said. “But you have to like freckles. I’ve seen a, you know, close up of her chest and a lot of freckles. Are you into freckles?” Can you imagine the sex with this troubled teen?” said Stern. “Yeah, you’re probably right,” Trump said. “She’s probably deeply troubled and therefore great in bed. How come the deeply troubled women, you know, deeply, deeply troubled, they’re always the best in bed?” The Hijab didn’t last long – she was off to hosting club nights in Athens the next day… Lindsay Lohan apparently is part of a club in Athens – which is very Muslim…of her….make that money off white people… The post Lindsay Lohan Supports Refugees of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .

Out Of Pocket: 4 Wisconsin Middle School Students Busted For Having & Recording After School ‘Sex Party’

Middle School Students Have A Sex Party Families in Brown Deer, Wisconsin are reeling after four middle schoolers were busted for having a secret “sex party” after school. Four Brown Deer Middle School students could face serious charges. Police say they were involved in a sex party — and they’re accused of recording it on their cell phones. Word of this alleged party over winter break has been spreading quickly — not just on social media. FOX6 News has seen hundreds of comments on our Facebook page. FOX6 News was able to talk with some residents. They used words like this in reacting to what allegedly took place: “appalling,” “sad,” and “disgusting.” “The party annotation really came from the way it was dispatched to us. Because in reality it was just a few kids, four, that got together and had sexual activity,” said Brown Deer Police Chief Michael Kass. Chief Kass says the ages of those involved, coupled with the fact that they recorded it on their cell phones are things being taken into consideration when determining potential criminal charges. “While the appearance is that it was all consensual, we just don’t know that as a fact — because legally they can’t consent,” said Chief Kass. School officials say nothing happened at the middle school, but that’s where they found out about it. They say other students approached them, concerned for the safety of those allegedly involved. Those administrators immediately brought that information to the Brown Deer Police Department. A statement was issued by the Brown Deer School District, saying school officials are “deeply troubled” to hear of this incident and that the district is “actively working with authorities” as the investigation continues. “When you leave kids unsupervised, sometimes odd things happen, so it’s important you not only supervise your children but you also know what they’re doing with their cell phones. You need to know what’s going on,” said Chief Kass. Police say all four of the teens involved were arrested and then released to their parents. Brown Deer police are recommending the students be charged with first and second degree sexual assault of a child. SMH…watch your kids people.

Gay Pride: Prison Break Actor Wentworth Miller Comes Out The Closet

Sorry ladies. You’re just not his type. Wentworth Miller Announces He Is Gay According to TMZ “Prison Break” star Wentworth Miller has just revealed he’s a gay man … in a statement that reads as a giant “F YOU” to Russia. The 41-year-old actor fired off a letter to the director of the St. Petersburg International Film Festival — rejecting its invitation for him to travel to the Motherland for the event … and in the letter, WM went public about his sexuality for the first time. “Thank you for your kind invitation. As someone who has enjoyed visiting Russia in the past and can also claim a degree of Russian ancestry, it would make me happy to say yes. However, as a gay man, I must decline.” Miller continues … “I am deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian government.” “The situation is in no way acceptable, and I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly.” He added, “If circumstances improve, I’ll be free to make a different choice.” We know some people aren’t surprised that he likes the man meat. It takes courage to come out the closet…congratz to him.

Komen Foundation To Reverse On Planned Parenthood

Day after Decemberists withdrew support, breast cancer charity announces it has reinstated funding for PP health centers. By Gil Kaufman Much like Congress rethought its decision after the outpouring of public anger over the anti-piracy SOPA and PIPA (Personal Information Protection Act) acts, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation had a change of heart on Friday (February 3) after intense criticism for its decision to stop funding Planned Parenthood initiatives. Komen, the organization behind the popular pink-ribbon campaign, announced on Tuesday that it would stop funding breast cancer prevention, screening and education at Planned Parenthood health centers — a decision Planned Parenthood claimed was in response to pressure from pro-life groups. Over the past five years, PP centers with Komen program funding have provided nearly 170,000 clinical breast exams out of the more than 4 million exams performed nationwide at PP health centers, as well as more than 6,400 mammogram referrals out of 70,000 total referrals, according to PP. Following the firestorm of controversy over the decision, the founder and CEO of the nation’s largest breast-cancer advocacy group said on Friday that the group would work to change the criteria that sparked the outcry. “We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants,” Nancy G. Brinker said in a statement . “We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women’s lives.” Brinker went further, acknowledging that the original decision to pull funding was done for “political reasons, or specifically to penalize Planned Parenthood.” In the wake of the public furor, Komen’s director of community health programs resigned in protest over the decision. In addition, 26 U.S. senators had signed a letter this week asking Komen to reconsider its withdrawal decision. One of the leading artistic voices of dissent over the initial Komen withdrawal from Planned Parenthood were the Decemberists. The band had worked with Komen since the band’s keyboardist, Jenny Conlee, had revealed her breast cancer diagnosis. When news broke on Tuesday that Komen had pulled funding for breast cancer examinations at PP, the Decemberists redirected the funds from their “Team Jenny” T-shirt to PP. On their website , they explained, “The Decemberists are deeply troubled by Komen for the Cure’s recent decision to cut off funding to Planned Parenthood, a vital resource in the battle against breast cancer. Providing cancer screenings to low income women is integral to the prevention and defeat of breast cancer and it is unconscionable that Komen should politicize this very important issue by bowing to the fear campaign being waged against PP by the right.” On Friday, the band added an update to their initial posting, writing, “The Decemberists are pleased that Komen for the Cure reversed their decision.”

Insane Mel Gibson Tirade: Take Three!

Yet another tape of angry Mel Gibson berating Oksana Grigorieva with the most vile language possible has been released. What could possible have provoked such rage? Who knows, but the guy needs serious mental help, ASAP. We’ve already heard Mel go off on his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his eighth child in two previous phone calls she clandestinely taped. Now a third has been leaked. In it, he uses ethnic and sexist slurs in a rampage only slightly less crazed than yesterday’s, in which he gasps for air, threatens to kill Oksana and admits beating her. Similarly to the first Mel Gibson rant released online, the embattled actor hurls offensive slurs left and right, referring to a Latino housekeeper/worker as a “wetback.” That term is one of the nicer ones used by Mel in the six-minute tape, during which the deeply troubled actor often accuses Oksana of cheating and using him. Whether she did cheat on Mel or not is unclear, and it is worth mentioning that Oksana could have edited these tapes to paint him in the worst possible light. This doesn’t change the fact that he’s a misogynistic a$$hole under investigation for domestic abuse, but there’s got to be more to this than we know now. Anyway, there are too many pieces of shocking dialogue to count, but this one in particular stands out, right before the terrifying phone conversation ends: Mel : Go look after my child! Oksana : She’s my child too. Mel : Yeah I know, unfortunately you c*** w****! I hope she doesn’t turn out like you! Disgusting and scary. Follow the jump to listen to the full six-minute tirade by Mel Gibson. Be forewarned once again that this is unsettling, awful stuff … Mel Gibson Racist Tirade: Rant #3

Amy Winehouse Hospitalized with "Chest Pains"

Most of the time, chest pains are no laughing matter. In this case, though, they kind of are. Because it’s Amy Winehouse and they’re not even heart-related. The deeply troubled songstress was was admitted to a hospital after reportedly experiencing agonizing pains from her breast implants on Thursday night. We hope you weren’t eating while reading this. The 26-year-old is now said to be waiting for a decision on whether she needs to have the 32D implants removed, or must undergo corrective surgery. Amy Winehouse was previously treated by medics in November after experiencing complications following her breast enhancement, as her dad told us. Guess this rules out the potential ass implants . COVERED UP : Amy Winehouse looking remarkably normal . “Amy was in agony and became convinced it was something to do with her (breasts),” a family friend said . “She thought she would leave it for a while but the pain got worse. She went into the clinic on Thursday and is under observation.” “She is waiting for a decision on whether the implants have to come out. Amy loves her curves and would really hate to have to have them taken out.” “She is still her bubbly self but she is worried.” The Black to Black Grammy winner star paid $54,000 last October to restore the curves she boasted before she developed her death-defying drug habit. Since having the operation, she has been regularly showing off her eye-popping bust … which we’re sure Blake Fielder-Civil hopes she will retain.
