Good thing we have the Voice of Christian Youth America looking out for our elementary school children, because we all know that if a 4th grade boy puts on a wig he’ll immediately be INFECTED WITH THE GAY.

Students at Pineview Elementary in Reedsburg had been dressing in costume all last week as part of an annual school tradition called Wacky Week. On Friday, students were encouraged to dress either as senior citizens or as members of the opposite sex.

A local resident informed the Voice of Christian Youth America on Friday. The Milwaukee-based radio network responded by interrupting its morning programming for a special broadcast that aired on nine radio stations throughout Wisconsin. The broadcast criticized the dress-up day and accused the district of promoting alternative lifestyles.

“We believe it’s the wrong message to send to elementary students,” said Jim Schneider, the network’s program director. “Our station is one that promotes traditional family values. It concerns us when a school district strikes at the heart and core of the Biblical values. To promote this to elementary-school students is a great error.”

Schneider co-hosts “Crosstalk,” a nationally syndicated call-in Christian radio show.
After the program aired, both the school and Reedsburg School District office were flooded with calls complaining about the event.

We’re staunch supporters of separation of church and state, and will go to the mat if we thought our rights were being infringed upon. So when boneheaded teachers and school administrators at a high school in Madison, Wisconsin enacted policies that clearly demonstrate they have no idea what the Establishment Clause really means, they don’t do anyone any favors and just provide more fodder for the other side. See, geniuses, it refers to the government endorsing a particular religion, it doesn’t mean that religious beliefs of the students need to be suppressed or banned. Sheesh, we thought that should be pretty obvious to people with college educations.

According to the lawsuit [filed by the student’s parents], the student’s art teacher asked his class in February to draw landscapes. The student, a [Tomah High School] senior identified in the lawsuit by the initials A.P., added a cross and the words “John 3:16 A sign of love” in his drawing.

His teacher, Julie Millin, asked him to remove the reference to the Bible, saying students were making remarks about it. He refused, and she gave him a zero on the project.

Millin showed the student a policy for the class that prohibited any violence, blood, sexual connotations or religious beliefs in artwork. The lawsuit claims Millin told the boy he had signed away his constitutional rights when he signed the policy at the beginning of the semester.

The boy tore the policy up in front of Millin, who kicked him out of class. Later that day, assistant principal Cale Jackson told the boy his religious expression infringed on other students’ rights.

In an ironic twist of fate, kindergarteners learning about water safety were poisoned and taken to the hospital, suffering chlorine poisoning.

WAUSAU, Wis. — A kindergartner hospitalized in critical condition after being exposed to a high level of chlorine at a swimming pool was upgraded to fair condition Saturday, a hospital official said.

A group of more than 40 kindergartners from Lincoln Elementary had difficulty breathing Friday while they were in a swimming pool learning about water safety, said Mary Ellen Marnholtz, spokeswoman for the Wausau School District in northern Wisconsin. The pool was at a nursing home run by North Central Health Care in Wausau.

A new mother the second time around and apparently “depressed”, she decided to send her 2 week old babies to heaven by murdering them. Let’s see…where have we heard that story before? Perhaps from Andrea Yates who also drowned her kids to get rid of her “problems”.

Now how crazy can they be, given that she, like Andrea Yates, were “smart” enough not to kill themselves instead.

Hopefully, she can be depressed for the rest of her life in jail. If she thinks she’s depressed now, just wait until she’s secluded in a 4 x 7 cell. Good times. Good times.

Evans admitted to having trouble breast-feeding the boys Friday and then filling her tub halfway, according to the criminal complaint. She told investigators she put the fraternal twins in on their backs and took them out when they stopped moving.

“She did not attempt to remove them until they became lifeless,” the complaint said.

She told police she took David and Josiah Smith, who were born Jan. 4, out of the tub, put them on their sides on the bathroom floor and then put them in separate blankets. Josiah appeared to be coughing, but she doesn’t remember David coughing, the complaint said.

Her mother, Joyce Smith, then arrived home, went to the bathroom and asked, “What did you do? What did you do?” to which Evans didn’t respond, the complaint said. The grandmother then called 911.

David died at the scene, according to police.

Stealing from a 2 year old is just plain wrong and what makes it even more wrong? — The jerk broke into the families house and was caught shaking the piggybank in a room where the toddler slept! It’s like stealing candy from a baby.

SHEBOYGAN, Wisconsin (AP) — A man has been charged with sneaking into a toddler’s bedroom and stealing $20 from a piggy bank while the 2-year-old girl slept.

Authorities say DNA evidence linked Ryan A. Mueller, 30, of Sheboygan Falls to the August 10 crime.

Authorities say the girl’s mother was in another room with another child when she saw a light turn on in her 2-year-old daughter’s room.

She walked into the girl’s bedroom and saw a man shaking the piggy bank as the girl slept.

I don’t understand it. Why, oh why, do people that have no respect for children and get off on humiliating them and torturing them bother to have kids. Why not just give them up for adoption? If you hate your kids so much, and you’re so terribly ignorant and screwed up that you can’t prevent yourself from hurting them, then why keep ‘em around?…to feel superior? To feel powerful?

We’ll be watching this story to see if these a-holes get their kids back. If you see James Dickinsen or Sarah Dickinsen anytime soon, make sure you give them a nice friendly beat down with a belt and make them walk the streets without pants.

On Oct. 18, a Chippewa County Sheriff’s Department investigator and a Department of Human Services case worker spoke with a 6-year-old boy at Cadott Elementary School. The boy had a large bruise on his left upper hip area, a bruise across his back above the belt line and bruising on the left jaw and ear area. The investigators indicate they learned that the boy’s mother had slapped him on the face and his step-father had used a belt to punish him.

The investigators were also made aware of an incident in which, after being struck with a belt, the boy was duct taped to his step-brother as they were standing outside with their pants off, and water was was poured on them.

First of all, I had no idea that there large, commercial daycares that are open overnight even existed.

Who knew?

MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee police are investigating a case of possible child neglect after a toddler was left in her day care van for two hours and later found sleeping there.

Denise Lindsey, 26, said she called authorities after her 21-month-old daughter, Zakia Goff, did not return home as expected at 10:30 p.m. on Thursday.

The girl was found two hours later, when police forced their way through a locked gate at the day care center. The sleeping girl woke up and cried. Lindsey said they took her to a hospital as a precaution.

What I think is more interesting about this case is that fetal homicide carries a life sentence plus large fines. Who knew?

I’m wondering what pro-choice people think of that as this goes off the assumption that life begins at conception and makes one accountable for that life.

APPLETON, Wis. — Darshana Patel told authorities she was suspicious as she watched her boyfriend stir a smoothie at an ice cream store. When he offered it to her, she noticed powder on the cup’s rim, and the pregnant woman feigned illness and didn’t drink it.

According to a criminal complaint, the woman says she sent the powder to a laboratory and it turned out to be mifepristone, the abortion pill also known as RU-486.

The test results came too late: She had already suffered two miscarriages in less than a year.
