For your "You have got to be fucking kidding me" files, we present the story of Louisiana State University associate professor Teresa Buchanan, who was fired effective June 19 for having "sexually harassed" her students -- if, that is, you buy the idea that occasionally saying "Fuck no" (and other variations on the Fuck-word) and having told a slightly off-color joke during class constitutes "sexual harassment." No, we are not fucking kidding. In addition to those two offenses, Buchanan also, as the local paper put it, used "a slang term for vagina that implies cowardice," which was a nice way to pussy out on saying what she actually said. Teresa Buchanan was a tenured professor with 20 years experience teaching early childhood education and training elementary school teachers at LSU. And yes, you bet your sweet ass she's planning to sue.
I overheard the then-three-year-old offspring chattering to himself in the back of the car one day - "and Lando Calrissian will tell me come on old buddy, don't let me down, but if Lando Calrissian says come on old buddy, don't let me down, I will tell him this is bullshit."I almost drove off the road.
I knew what ya' meant about dealing with parents. I was being slick. Never heard of FERPA until now (just looked it up). The big acronym I have to deal with is FAPE.
Gawd, the university admins would have requested the National Guard if my mother had set foot on that campus. She was a small woman who had all the refinement of A Lady and all the vocabulary of A Trucker. She still ranks as one of the most foul-mouthed people I have ever met.
My brother's was "dammit."

Sounds like child abuse
Wait, why is Robb Stark wearing that cruise ship steward's uniform?

But ... but ... isn't petty fuckhead the job description for administrator at LSU?
My dear cousin was two years old at Thanksgiving dinner, when she startled the family by saying, "The sonofabitch turkey won't cut!"
Didn't do it for me. I always see him as Vern Schillinger, no matter the role.
No. Christie is The Outlaw Jersey Whale.
And during his tenure as Resident (no P for him; he wasn't elected), the country was run by a bush, a dick, and a colon.
The L in LSU stands for Liberty, right? 'Cause getting fired for saying fuck would be a thing there.
