Teacher wrote anonymous gossip blog describing pupils as 'trans-human Kardashian clones'
He's now been struck off the teachers' register and is unable to teach for two years. here are some quotes from his blog:
Quote
In one article, titled The Problem With Prom, Mr Price called the event “a shallow, vacuous affair, about nothing more than who has spent the most on looking nice”. He said girls often ended up looking like a cross between “Eastern European prostitutes and trans-human Kardashian clones”.QuoteIn another post he made up nicknames for his former head teachers, calling one “El Supremo” and another “Grima Wormtongue” after a character from Lord of the Rings.
The BBC report wouldn't even quote any of the blog, so as usual you have to delve deeper and find more sources. But that's the BBC for you - politically correct to the core.
Here's the teacher's blog.

His observations are amusing. But why post publicly on a blog, instead of in a private journal?

KRQE tv news, Albuquerque, New Mexico:
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — A Las Cruces firefighter who is also a beekeeper is credited with safely removing a swarm of bees found inside a parked car. City of Las Cruce’s spokesman Dan Trujillo says the incident occurred Sunday shortly after 4 p.m. outside an Albertson’s supermarket. A shopper had put his groceries in his car and was about to drive when he spotted the swarm in the backseat.
Firefighters were called and secured the area. Trujillo says crews decided to call on Jesse Johnson, an off-duty firefighter with beekeeping experience. Johnson arrived with proper beekeeping attire as well as tools and was able to remove the bees. The whole process took about two hours.
They were transported to Johnson’s own property, which is outside city limits. Trujillo says the swarm is estimated to be comprised of 15,000 bees. Fire officials say a store security guard was stung but no other injuries were reported.

The town of Corcoran, Calif., has a multimillion-dollar problem: It is sinking.
Over the past 14 years, the town has sunk as much as 11.5 feet in some places, making this San Joaquin Valley town one of the fastest-sinking areas in the country. The primary reason is farming. For decades, agricultural companies have extracted underground water to irrigate their crops when farmers fail to get enough surface water from local sources.
And with California facing another severe drought, the situation will very likely make Corcoran sink even more. A water management agency estimates the city will sink another six to 11 feet over the next 19 years.
