Thanks.

Things just got a little interesting as of this morning which is the reason im awake right now, might be moving back East if all works out. Keeping my fingers crossed.

it's no surprise that every rightwing "news source" has picked this story up, greatly misrepresenting and distorting the facts. however, if you find the actual facts, it's that aborted babies and miscarriages at a small number of hospitals were treated as "medical waste" and were incinerated along side other medical waste and trash. in a couple of instances, hospitals were using the incinerators to create power for their hospitals. now, thanks to the very misleading title, the image that comes to mind is a big fire with babies being tossed in to create heat for the hospital. what in fact was happening was that hospitals were burning all of the trash, as well as their "medical waste" together in the incinerator that was used to power the facility. the vast majority of this would be the regular trash from the hospital, a much smaller amount would be medical waste such as tumors, amputations, removed organs, etc., and an even smaller amount would be the unwanted remains of either abortions or early term miscarriages. And while i am pro-choice, i do have a problem with this practice. but i also have a problem with the way the story is being portrayed. In the United States, the remains of early term miscarriages are also often incinerated. while some mothers do choose to have some sort of burial or cremation service for an early-term miscarriage, the majority of US early-term miscarriages are also treated as medical waste unless the mother chooses differently. it isn't until a baby is at 24 weeks in the womb that they are considered "stillborn", meaning that either a burial or funeral home cremation is required in the US. so while i'm not a fan of the practice of burning the remains in a fire that is used to provide heat for a hospital- two hospitals in England after the cost of professional cremation became too much for them to afford... from the title you'd think this was a common practice- i don't really understand what you'd have them do. if the mother does not want the remains, what should the hospital do with them? they're basically doing the same thing that a funeral home would do.

This is a terrible situation.  In all of the BISD nonsense, the kids are the losers. 

I think it would have been a fine hire if they just warned him : Plez keep your hands off the underage girls

Hmmmmm.........
 
Hearing some rumblings that could make this situation really ugly!
 
Stay tuned.

It appears that much of the opinions that take up for BISD's transgressions is melanin based. 

I have watched this thread for weeks and didn't see much taking up for BISD. I thought the good tax paying citizens of Beaumont had finally had enough. I thought they were tired of wasting their tax dollars, depriving their kids of a good education and helping increase the property values of all the surrounding cities......
 
Then I went to the football forum........we still have folks blaming media bias, trying to call out other districts wrong doings (like that would fix anything) and even trying to marginalize a teacher getting his license suspended for improper relationship with a student.....really??  Do we hire convicted pedophiles for daycare workers if they "served their time"??
 
It is very apparent that the problem in BISD is not JUST BISD......it's some of the voting taxpayers that make excuses and allow this corruption to continue........

Keep blaming others........It has nothing to do with Calvin Walker, Jessie Haynes, Devin Wayne McCraney, Sharika Baksh Allison or Timothy Chargois. If those biased media reporters would just leave you guys alone, everything would be perfect......and Devin could of finished that remodel on his home........SMH :wacko:

You sound like my 13 yo when he gets in trouble......tries to change the subject and point out others faults.  What does Kirbyville ISD have to do with this topic? If you want to compare Kirbyville to BISD in scandals and wrong doings, start another thread, and Good Luck!!.  The fact is MOST people would not want someone with that type of allegations teaching their kids. This "almost" hire really tells the common sense of their idiot superintendent. He knows that EVERYONE is watching and pulls this bad hire stunt......really?

ok, now we are done.

Yeah, its a big conspiracy that money is missing, electricians overcharge and not held accountable and the special ed program is failing. Not to mention administration people assaulting board members on camera and then trying to sue them. LOL.

Going 3-7 is a much improvement than 0-10

I could easily call you an idiot for having your kids in such a bad school district......but I do believe name calling is against the rules......and show me a school district in the area that has had as much trouble as BISD........I bet you can't....so the media bias is a STUPID point to bring up......might as well blame it on race......same stupidity

As much as I hate to agree with Aggie, he is 100% 98.9% correct!!!!

The above is what is wrong with BISD....plain and simple....

Don't do anything newsworthy and there won't be any news.  The fact that they are continually having issues keeps them in the news.  Not that other districts don't have issues, but they take care of them and move on, rather than trying to cover it up or make excuses or try to point the blame at someone else.

Good Luck!!

Bluedove is stricken with victim-itis. There's not a cure for it.

In my opinion, if you work in education and you get caught having an improper relationship with a student, there should be no second chances.  When parents trust you with their children, and you abuse that trust, you are no longer fit to be alone with students.  If BISD did not know this info and hired him, they should be ashamed of their background check system.  If they knew it and hired him, they should just be flat out ashamed.  Either way, the kids at Ozen are the ones who lose in this situation.  No way Atkins survives this.

One certainly doesn't have to be flawless to be a better ISD when compared to BISD. ;) :rolleyes:

Wow guys. You're ok with a guy who lost his certification for having an improper relationship with a student being hired by Bisd? I'm beginning to see what the real problem is in Beaumont.

Wango, tango!
 
Get'em, Ted.

LOVE me some Ted.......
 
He speaks his mind!

you guys are comparing things that people choose to do (murder, theft) with something that someone is born with. whether you disagree with both things or not, there IS a difference between a man and a man choosing to have a sexual relationship, and a man killing another man, or stealing someone's stuff. there is a difference between a legal act that hurts nobody and an illegal act that directly hurts somebody else. yes, they are both sin, but no, they are not the same.

I've always wondered how someone straight can tell the feelings of someone gay. There is NO WAY I would  "choose" to have sex with a man....however, some do..... do they make that choice or are they born feeling that way? I would have to say they were born with it because I don't see how they with choose it......
