Yes, Denizens - I know it's Cafe Press. Yes, I know that they're a liberal-owned company. Yes, I'm aware that the quality of their garments may not be quite as good as ThoseShirts.com.
But unlike ThoseShirts.com, Cafe Press ACTUALLY ANSWERS THE EMAIL I SEND THEM!!!!
Got clue, ThoseShirts???

As you guys know, I’m not the greatest fan of the teaching abilities of Steffi the Doublewide Bitch Supreme™ – when I, with no degree whatsoever, can outspell a teacher with a bachelor’s, there’s a problem.
But I would’ve defended to the death her right to teach without being assaulted, either verbally or physically.  Had I witnessed some snot-nose abusing my then-wife, said snot-nose would’ve been introduced, face first, into the nearest wall.  Courtesy of an assist from moi.
With that background, the Department of Inmates Running The Asylum checks in with this blurb from the Beeb about a new policy taking effect in class.
Pupils are being allowed to swear at one Northamptonshire secondary school – as long as they limit their use of bad language to five times a lesson.
A tally of how many times the f-word is used will be kept on the board.
“We don’t need no/Education…Teacher, leave those kids alone…”  I don’t know about you, but I think this might be taking Daltrey & Townshend a just a wee bit too far, y’think?
This is how bad things have gotten, Denizens.  Twenty-five years ago, the penalty for talking to a teacher like that was a guaranteed suspension, possibly expulsion.  Now, we’re giving them a fucking quota.
Double-you.  Tee.  Eff?????
Parents of children at the Weavers School in Wellingborough were told of the new policy in a letter, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
The policy, which comes into effect when term starts next week, has been condemned by parents’ groups and MPs.
“In these sorts of situations teachers should be setting clear principles of ‘do and don’t’,” said Nick Seaton, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education.
The amazing thing is that the headmaster of this UK crumb-cruncher looney bin hasn’t already been lynched and may-poled.
But headmaster Alan Large said he had received no complaints about the policy.
That’s probably a bit difficult when you have your head up your ass and fingers in your ears, shrieking “LALALALALALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!”
“The reality is that the f-word is part of these young adults’ everyday language,” he told the Daily Mail.
No, the reality  is that you’re a fucking wimp and you don’t have the balls to enforce discipline in the classroom and put a steel-toed boot up these rugrats’ asses, and your ass needs to be run out of town on a rail.
Assistant headmaster Richard White said the policy was aimed at two classes of 15 and 16-year-olds that were particularly unruly.
“Within each lesson the teacher will initially tolerate (although not condone) the use of the f-word (or derivatives) five times and these will be tallied on the board so all students can see the running score,” he wrote in the letter.
“Over this number the class will be spoken to by the teacher at the end of the lesson.”
Oh, yeah, that’ll  get those Malevolent Mudpie Munching Miscreants™ under control.  Day-um, why didn’t we think about this sooner?!?!?!
The school, which has 1,130 pupils, also plans to send “praise postcards” to the parents of children who do not swear in class.
“Praise postcards”???  For doing what they’re supposed to be doing anyway?!?!?!?!  What’s next?  Paying the Pint-Sized Pansy-Assed Pricks™ for doing their homework???
F.E.T.E., as the Imperial Torturer™ might say…
UPDATE:  LC Humble Devildog appropriately takes me to task and rightly points out that it was Pink Floyd  who did “The Wall”…not The Who.
Getting senile in my old age, I am, ayup…

Nutscrape,
if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?
And don't even get me started on Opera or Chrome. I'm not about to trust any browser that won't let me change its color scheme.
This is just one more indication that Western Europe is no longer a civilized place.
A couple of quibbles, nitpicks, and points:
1. Er…the song you quoted was written by Waters and Gilmore, not Townsend and Daltry. Same time frame, different bands.
2. Regarding the ex: Those who can, do. Those who can’t….
Teach.
3. Fortunately for US schools, our public school system is based on the German model, rather than the English model. UNfortunately for US schools, the NEA is in love with any failed program from EUrotrashland.
Which is why the Devilpuppies will never darken the door of a school, public OR private. Ever.
