Subject: [tips] Professor Suspended Over Facebook Venting
To give one a sense of how "over sensitive" parents are as well as
how facebook gives parents a basis to compalin to the "powers
that be", consider this local NY State story where all of the
schools in a school dirstrict were closed down because a parent thought
that the word "combine" had something to do with "Columbine".

And consider a biker bar in Daytona Beach that had the sign NO COLORS
at the entrance.The NAACP was about to sue and close the establishment until
they realized that the sign meant that the bar owner did not want bikers
displaying their colors on their jackets-for obvious reasons,of course.
