Chicago Mother Furious After School Wraps Son In Trash Bag A mother was horrified to learn that her son’s new teacher had been wrapping him up in black trash bags — like a piece of garbage — and isolating him from the rest of the class due to his disability . Via Washington Post : Five-year-old Lloyd Terry is non-verbal and epileptic, which often causes saliva to drop onto his clothing, his mother said. Despite packing several pairs of clothes and extra bibs for her son, Nyesha Terry said, Lloyd’s teacher opted to use a plastic bag to deal with his saliva instead. Even though her son couldn’t express it to her, the result, Terry said, was utter humiliation. “He can’t come home and say ‘this happened at school today mommy,’ ” Terry told The Washington Post. “It was heartbreaking to see my child separated from the other students and wearing a trash bag.” Terry spoke with the teacher and assumed the issue had been resolved — until she returned to the school the next day and found her son outfitted in yet another trashbag and isolated from the class once again. She took him to the school’s office to file a complaint, but was hit with another shock of insensitivity: After listening to her complaints, Terry said she received another shock when administrators asked her whether the bag’s appearance was what bothered her about the situation. “I said, ‘It has nothing to do with how it looks!’ ” Terry recalled. “He could put the bag in his mouth, he could swallow part of it or he could suffocate because of the bag. He’s isolated and I’m concerned for his safety.” Later, Terry said, another school official informed her that nowhere in the school’s guidelines is it written that a teacher cannot put a trash bag on a student. SMH!! Of course, once Terry took the story public, the teacher was suddenly removed from the classroom and an investigation was launched. She has since had CPS assist her in finding a new, safer school for her child. So sad that this mother had to make such a fuss JUST to have her son treated like a human being at school!

Terricka Cromartie Films Officer During “Random” Traffic Stop Terricka Cromartie, the wife of Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie, posted a few videos to Instagram detailing an encounter she had with Madison, NJ police officer after getting pulled over for “ driving while black ” on Friday. Terricka was pulled over around 11:30 am in the small town of about 16,000, which is located about over 3015 minutes away from East Rutherford, where the Jets play. She believed the officer stopped her simply because he noticed a Black woman driving a nice car. He didn't write her any tickets or warnings — seemingly just to harass her by inquiring who she was and why she was driving the streets. In a video posted shortly after the incident, Cromartie said: “Driving while Black… I'm thankful to be able to even make this message so many weren't as luck[y]. But how do you deal with a police office who are simply just harassing you?” SMH!! Who knows what could have happened had she not decided to record the whole incident?

Bill Cosby’s Lawyer Blasts Fordham For Revoking Honorary Degree Bill Cosby’s lawyer, attorney John P. Schmitt responded to Fordham University’s decision to rescind the honorary doctorate degree they granted Cosby in 2001, saying though the school had the right to do so, it was an irresponsible move with inaccurate explanations. Fordham revoked the degree in light of Cosby’s recently disclosed deposition where he admitted to acquiring drugs to dispense to women for the purpose of having sex with them. But in a letter addressed to the university’s president, Schmitt, noting he was a Fordham Law School alumn, said the Board of Trustees’ decision was “so irresponsible as to shock the conscience” and it “grossly mischaracterizes both Mr. Cosby’s actions and his deposition testimony, in language more befitting a tabloid journal rather than a respected institution of higher learning.” “Nothing in his testimony admits to any nonconsensual sexual contact with any woman whatsoever. As you know, Mr. Cosby has been convicted of no crime and has steadfastly maintained his innocence.” Interesting. We guess he had to get that off his chest…but we seriously doubt that will cause the school to have much of a change of heart.
Rick Ross Countersues Groundskeeper Jonathan Zamudio Remember when we told you that Rick Ross was arrested for the alleged assault of his groundskeeper Jonathan Zamudio ??? Well Rozay is firing back via his legal team and filing a countersuit for defamation and damages claiming that Zamudio’s lawsuit is nothing more than an extortion attempt. In it, he claims that his accuser was trespassing on his property, had drug paraphernalia and waited hours to call 911 without mentioning any assault or injuries. A statement from Ross’ attorneys reads; “On behalf of Mr. William Roberts we have filed a countersuit that addresses the real perpetrators, Jonathan Zamudio and Leonardo Caceres, and calls for all claims in the August 25th assault/kidnapping civil suit be dropped. At its core, these trumped up allegations lack credible evidence and are an attempt at extorting money from Mr. Roberts—from the 911 call that doesn’t mention an assault or injuries, to the notion that Mr. Roberts kidnapped his accusers, when they were in fact trespassing on his property without permission. And, the mere association between Mr. Roberts’ accusers and Mr. Curtis Jackson, speaks volumes to their lack of credibility and the likelihood of collusion. Mr. Roberts’ reputation has been defamed and his businesses compromised. We will vigorously dispute all of Mr. Zamudio’s and Mr. Cacees’ claims, and aggressively pursue the substantial damages Mr. Roberts has incurred stemming from these false claims by the plaintiffs.” Rozay is now asking that the charges against him be dropped. Additionally Rick Ross is also naming 50 Cent in the suit and claiming that he “instigated” via the below Instagram post that 50 said was written by his “Power” character Kanaan. “Now you pay,” Fif captioned the photo of him and Ross’ accuser. Welp! What do YOU think about Rick Ross’ countersuit??? This Jonathan character’s story does sound fishy…

So long sour Speaker… John Boehner Resigning From Congress Perpetual sourpuss and Speaker of the House John Boehner has announced his decision to resign from Congress. After meeting with Pope Francis who is addressing congress today, Boehner told the Republican party that his last day would be in October. The New York Times reports: Speaker John A. Boehner, under intense pressure from conservatives in his party, will resign one of the most powerful positions in government and give up his House seat at the end of October, throwing Congress into chaos as it tries to avert a government shutdown. Mr. Boehner, who was first elected to Congress in 1990, made the announcement in an emotional meeting with his fellow Republicans on Friday morning. The Ohio representative struggled from almost the moment he took the speaker’s gavel in 2011 to manage the challenges of divided government and to hold together his fractious and increasingly conservative Republican members. Most recently, Mr. Boehner, 65, was trying to craft a solution to keep the government open through the rest of the year, but was under pressure from a growing base of conservatives who told him that they would not vote for a bill that did not defund Planned Parenthood. Several of those members were on a path to remove Mr. Boehner as speaker, though their ability to do so was far from certain. What do YOU think about Boehner resigning???
