There is widespread sexual misconduct by teachers towards their students. Not good. As if the quality of the education isn't bad enough, today's students also have to thwart unwanted sexual advances from teachers of both sexes.

A group of elementary school teachers in Tennessee faked a gunman attack on a bunch of 6th graders by turning off the lights and telling them that a gunman was on the loose. The fake attack lasted five minutes and scared the bejesus out of the poor kids. Needless to say, the parents were not amused. This incident makes you wonder where Tennessee ranks in teacher quality, because these guys suck!

Hey crazy kids, we're not making you do this! And please tell me exactly how a 13-year-old boy gets his hands on an AK-47 assault rifle. It has to be a function of the quality of the education. If school sucks you're probably more likely to walk in with a gun and shoot it up. Right?

One year after pledging a $115 million endowment to Harvard, Ellison still hasn't given them the money.

Charges were dropped in the case of Debra LaFave, pictured here in a Makes and Models magazine spread that she did back in 1999. LaFave was charged with having sex with a 14-year-old boy in her middle school classroom. Prosecutors dropped the charges because the boy's mother though that testifying would be too traumatic for him and "he had suffered enough."

I'll tell you what, all the guys I know wish we could "suffer" like this kid has suffered. This is exactly what Van Halen was talking about--it's the American (Teenage Boy) Dream. It seems that hot teachers seducing young boys is as American as apple pie and school shootings nowadays. I just wish this trend could have started in the 1980's. Sure, dodging bullets from deranged classmates sucks, but having sex with hot teachers makes it all worthwhile. That and hot virginity pledge action.

An 11-year-old girl was suspended from school when she ignored teachers that told her she couldn't do cartwheels and handstands at lunch time. Meanwhile students are allowed to play basketball and football. Give me a break! Yeah, let's stop kids from exercising altogether and let's all be morbidly obese together. That's a great idea!

Maria Alquilar was commissioned by the city of Livermore, California to paint a mural for the local library. After finishing the mural and collecting her $40,000 for the job, library staff noticed that 11 of the 175 words in her piece were misspelled including the names of Einstein, Shakespeare, and van Gogh. Alquilar agreed to fix the spelling mistakes for $6,000. Now you know why education is so important.

California Education Secretary, Richard "Dick" Riordan, told a little girl that her name, Isis, meant "stupid, dirty girl." The incident took place last Thursday at the Santa Barbara Central Library, where Riordan stopped in to promote a summer reading program. After reading a picture book to preschoolers and young elementary school pupils, he chatted with some of them as video cameras rolled to capture the event. According to the published reports, the exchange went something like this:

Little Girl: "Do you know my name means egyptian goddess?"
Riordan: "It means stupid, dirty girl."
Little Girl: "It means egyptian goddess."
Riordan: "Hey, that's nifty."

Yeah, that's fucking nifty! Riordan apparently thought that the girl was asking him what her name meant and replied in (un)kind. Riordan must have come out of the library bathroom after chewing on some delicious crack! Everyone is up in arms and calling for his resignation. Because even after several big crack hits, that shit still isn't funny.

Didn't his handler tell him not to be an asshole before he went on the photo op!? You know, "Uh, Mr. Riordan, you really shouldn't fuck with the kids this time, there's cameras around." What a dumbass!

The latest survey conducted by the National Geographic Society showed that 11% of Americans between the ages of 18-24 cannot find the United States on a global map! Check out the rest of the statistics below:

87% cannot find Iraq
83% cannot find Afghanistan
76% cannot find Saudi Arabia
70% cannot find New Jersey
49% cannot find New York

What the fuck!? I am so disappointed. What, if anything, are children learning in grammar school and high school? I understand that this country's culture thrives on isolation and an "ignorance is bliss" mentality but these numbers are just downright shocking. This isn't ignorance, it's stupidity. You would think that with the popularity of the Sopranos that more people would be able to find New Jersey. Thinking globally, Americans are idiots--the numbers don't lie. Something needs to change.

Another interesting fact discovered by the survey is that Swedish people are not only gorgeous, they are bright too. They scored the highest, identifying 13 of 16 countries on the average--apparently there are no "dumb blondes" in Sweden, just here.
