One wonders at the wondrous ability of the Harrier to avoid the obvious. The position taken by the LA school board is clearly and beyond any doubt a conservative one.. An absurdly conservative one but still conservative. So Harrier has the impossible task of explaining how an absurdly conservative decision is in his mind a liberal one.
And only a conservative could believe it would be safe to build a high school on an active oil field. Only conservatives know that oil only does good things...
The LAUSD is run by liberals.
They suspended the teacher and they built the school where it was located.
Those are the facts.
It isn't Harrier's problem if you can't handle them.
And if you were to make such an air gun in a school class whether it be private or public the item would be seized and the teacher put on leave for allowing such a thing to be built. Unless it was approved by the school administrators and the parents signed permission slips.
Once again you have no clue as to why the teacher was put on leave. It's because of moron parents that let kids have guns and then the kids use the guns to shoot up the schools.
You mean like the one at the Science Fair Obama attended? That one shot marshmallows huge distances.
Imparting velocity to projectiles is physics. Imparting sufficient velocity to certain projectiles is gunnery. They are different things.
This statement appears to make you and expert. Pretty please, with sugar, please explain liberalism to me. I prehistoric times when I went to the local cave for classes, liberalism didn't exist so I missed that part of my education.
They suspended the teacher and they built the school where it was located.
Those are the facts.
It isn't Harrier's problem if you can't handle them.
And Harrier has personal knowledge of the political views of those bureaucrats involved in this suspension?
We are all ears. Let us have the names and the political affiliations you know all about...
In the interim I will continue to ascribe absurd conservative decisions to those who are absurdly conservative. I know this is an idea that will require much thought...but you can do it Harrier if you concentrate...absurd conservative ideas come from absurd conservatives...
Yet you people applaud companies spending 2 billion dollars to build an office complex that will only generate 30 jobs when there are dozens of unusued buildings nearby that could have been bought by said private company for 10 million dollars renovated for 2 million dollars and had over a 100 people working in the renovated office complex.
"Construction was stymied several times over the past 15 years by revelations that officials had approved building the school atop explosive pockets of methane gas and the discovery of an active earthquake fault beneath the site."
" a K-12 complex built on 23 acres of land, cost $578 million to build. Considering the school will house about 4,200 students, construction cost about $130,000 per pupil.
So, what exactly is included in that hefty price tag? An auditorium modeled after the famous Coconut Grove nightclub, a state-of-the-art swimming pool, and a marble memorial for Robert Kennedy, just to name a few of the school's upscale features."
Oh btw that school was only 40% per student cost then the other high schools in California. Building a high school just for a few hundred students typically costs about 70 million dollars.
Which commercial building costs $2B?
You don't know much about school construction. Yes things cost more in California, but $150M should build a nice high school for 2000 students or more. That one in LA is two-three times the cost of what it should be.
We made volcanoes back in the day.
That would be considered terrorism today.
Some of those paper mache volcanoes blew up rather than just bubble up the foam.
We thought it was cool.
We made dry ice bombs in science class when I was in school. Can you imagine the horror if current students were exposed to such a simple way to cause an explosion?
A science teacher in Los Angeles has been suspended because his students constructed a project designed to help them understand linear acceleration - which staff at the school described as an "electric coil gun".
This liberal zero-tolerance nonsense is really getting out of hand if students can't even be taught scientific principles without some hand-wringing "protector" getting their panties in a wad.
The protesting students have more maturity than the school administrators.
I bet the school board in LA formally worked for Oakland. Remember "EBONICS"?
