Lawsuits and B. O.

[kybearfuzz]

I was just watching the news and apparently a local family is suing their child's school district for $50,000. Why? Because a teacher told their child to spray himself with Lysol because he had bad body odor. The child suffered taunting from the other kids and obviously vast psychological damage.

The teacher has since retired and is obviously not the most tactful person on the planet, as he or she did this publicly and embarrassed the kid. However, I don't think the family deserves $50,000 because they have a embarrassed stinky kid. If anything, the family should take this as a sign that Junior needs some deodorant and a bath.

Naturally, if the student has some condition that causes this, that's a bit different, but since the news didn't mention it, I'm assuming he doesn't.

Not to mention now he'll be the "Stinky kid whose parents sued the school district"

It's bad enough that kids can be cruel but now teachers too? [grin] Actually I think the lawsuit is a bit ridiculous also.

Here's hoping that Irish Spring or Right Guard will sponsor televising this on Court TV

If they win, I'm TOTALLY going after my old high school for letting the trigonometry teacher call me a fag in class!

I got picked on and teased a lot too when I was in high school. Maybe I should call a lawyer...
