You can’t be serious ! Vanderbilt Football Player Lets Teammates Assault Girlfriend Via Deadspin reports: While Nashville police have yet to release details of a sex crimes investigation that led to the dismissal of four Vanderbilt football players, allegations are starting to emerge through other channels. Former Volunteers quarterback Erik Ainge disclosed some of those details this morning on his Tennessee Sports Radio program, and they’re ugly. Ainge opted not to reveal any names, saying only that four players were involved and that after a night of drinking one player “allowed” the other three to rape his girlfriend. “They were out,” Ainge said, “they were drinking, boyfriend Vandy football player had sex with his girlfriend, then allowed his three teammates with him to also have sex with his girlfriend, and she did not want that to be the case.” The case is being taken seriously enough by authorities, certainly; the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is involved and testing evidence in its crime lab.

Chelsey Ramer, a 17-year old member of the Poarch Creek Band of Indians, graduated on May 23 from Escambia Academy High School in Alabama – and paid the price for it. Literally. As a show of pride in her heritage, the student donned an eagle feather in her cap… which was considered a dress code violation and which resulted in a $1,000 fine. The school had passed around a contract prior to the event that said participants were not permitted to wear “extraneous items during graduation exercises unless approved by the administration.” Ramer did not sign the document, but she was told by the then-headmaster that she did not have permission for the feather. Still, she has no regrets. “It was worth it. It means a lot to me,” Ramer told a local TV station, though she did add: “I don’t think it’s fair at all. I feel like its discrimination.” Former teacher and Creek tribe member Alex Alvarez agrees. He said he was denied the chance to speak with the administration about the issue leading up to graduation, telling the Indian Country Today Media Network: “I think this is ridiculous. If they took the time to understand and respect the differences in individuals, this would have never happened. We don’t have much left as Indian people, to give a child an eagle feather as an achievement should be adhered to.”

Teachers are suppose to be inspiring our kids not violating them with bananas. Teacher Inappropriately Touched Student With Banana According to The NY Daily News A Florida high school teacher was suspended for inappropriately touching a female student with a banana during class. Jonathan Hampton was banned from North Marion High School for three days after allegedly rubbing the girl’s head and neck with the fruit during a lesson on Freudian symbolism. The lecture focused on “cylinder objects, phalluses and/or sex symbols.” The girl said she was left humiliated by the incident, which happened three months ago, but was only reported earlier in May. Hampton, an English teacher from Citra who teaches college-level courses as part of the school’s magnet program, denied any wrongdoing. Mark Fiedelholtz, his attorney stepfather, told Local 6 that there was no evidence of sexual connotation or physical harm. “According to my son, which has not been reported, he doesn’t recall ever touching the student with a banana, but if he did it would be to get their attention,” said Fiedelholtz. The school district has also backed his lesson on Freudian psychology, which it says was not inappropriate and followed the curriculum. But in a letter sent to the teacher, who has now returned to work following his three-day suspension from May 13, it warned him that his topics may “often cross the line.” Fawk blocking his lesson on Freudian psychology, fire him.

Latino Group: Drinking Tequila, Eating Tacos Is Offensive To Mexicans According to these folks, your shady Jose Cuervo shots and guacamole eating on Cinco De Mayo is offensive! Via Fox News Radio: “Drinking tequila shots, eating tacos, and wearing sombreros do not commemorate Mexican culture; on the contrary, that offends, marginalizes and isolates many of our friends, classmates, and community leaders and casts our entire community in poor light,” wrote members of the group Alianza in a letter that was published in The Daily Northwestern. The letter was signed by members of the university’s Associated Student Government as well as members of the Latino group in response to Cinco de Mayo celebrations. “Some of our peers choose to throw ‘Mexican-themed’ parties that are culturally insensitive, offensive and detrimental to the Northwestern community,” they wrote. Instead, the group wanted students to celebrate Mexico’s “rich history” through parades, family gatherings and “folk dances.” However, a number of students who actually grew up in Mexico, said the student government association and the Latino group are way off base. “To whomever wrote and signed that letter, I’d like to say that I proudly embrace my tacos, tequila and sombreros,” said Ruben Antonio Marcos Bours. “To me, they are a key part of my childhood, growing up in Monterrey, Mexico.” And it turns out that the two co-presidents of Alianza are not even Mexican. “People think Alianza is representing Mexican culture on campus,” student Garcia Romero told the campus newspaper. “I see them as representing U.S. Hispanic culture. Very few of them have actually been to Mexico.” Romero said his friends back home probably celebrated Cinco de Mayo by drinking tequila and eating tacos. After generating widespread campus ridicule, the student group backtracked and said they were not trying to tell students how to celebrate the holiday. “We don’t even know how to celebrate,” co-president Darlene Reyes told the campus newspaper. As for their group – the Alianza marked Cinco de Mayo by roasting marshmallows. Really, though?? Glad there were some Mexican students to defend themselves on this one. SMH at the group roasting marshmallows for Cinco De Mayo wit they lame azzes!!!! Shutterstock
