The Wrong Trousers

Ms Nicky Cooper
Today's lesson children is the meaning of theterm "jobsworth".
Pedantic, pompous, doctrinaire, nit-picking,
|
Following on from my story on 21st July about the petty minded stupidity of some head teachers and how their single minded obsession with pointless rules is damaging the education of children, here is another tale, courtesy of school Head Teacher Nicky Cooper.
According to this BBC report, Ms Cooper who is head of Kepier School in Houghton-le-spring has been preventing children from attending lessons because "their trousers are the wrong shade of grey".
This half-witted jobsworth is not only making a fool of the education system, she is enforcing a rather dodgy system where the Head Teacher insists on a particular type of uniform that can only be bought from a single supplier. Needless to say, it isn't one of the regular suppliers of school clothes but rather a small shop which charges premium prices for their goods.
Ms Cooper, in the mean time, might want to consider a career in car parking management, or perhaps, a park keeper, where her natural inclination for the literal interpretation of regulations would be more in keeping with the job.
Rush Limbaugh is not a name most British people will be familiar with: he is rather more well known in his native America where his right-wing loony radio broadcasts make popular listening among the knuckle dragging fraternity.
This week he has been sounding on about hurricane Irma, or, as he puts it, "a liberal conspiracy intended to convince the public that climate change is real".
Yes folks, hurricanes are no more dangerous than any other storm whose effect is not only exaggerated by the entire World's meteorological experts but they are also a plot by bottled water suppliers to make us panic buy their product. The proof of this is the fact that in his home town of Palm Beach, Florida (currently directly in the predicted path of the storm), they seem to have run out of the stuff.
Ordinarily, it wouldn't matter what this idiot says were it not for the fact that millions of people buy into this nonsense. This anti-science, mumbo-jumbo, superstitious view of the World is gaining popularity to such a level now that it's able to cause genuine harm.
They are the same people who say that the earth was created at 9:30am on the 23 October 4004 BC; they are the people who claim that NASA faked the Moon landings; that vaccines cause autism; that GMOs are dangerous; that the World is run by a cabal of alien reptilian shape-shifters who drink human blood.
Our civilization hangs by a thread and these people would sabotage our future with their ignorance and stupidity.

Let's face it, if they can fake the Moonlandings, they can fake this as well. |
