Student gets Suspended after Hugging Teacher

By | Published December 28, 2013

1Sam McNair, a 17 year old student was suspended for sexual harassment after hugging a teacher in Duluth Georgia. He is a senior and said all that it was just an innocent hug and nothing more. He thought his hug might’ve helped out the teacher since well you never know what someone is going through and how a hug might help.

After hugging the teacher, Sam found himself suspended from high school and putting his future plans in jeopardy. The mother admits that they are putting his scholarship at jeopardy.   His mother claims that they sort of call them selves the huggers since it’s in their nature but was utterly shocked that he would get suspended for that long due to an innocent hug.

The surveillance video shows Sam putting his hands around the teacher, then hugging her and then her pulling away. The teacher in question claimed his lips touched her neck and that she had warned him in the past about his hugging. When asked by the reporter whether he kissed the teacher in which Sam replied no.  He says he’s hugged many of his teachers and even in fact his teacher who never gave him any warning.

2The school did go on to state that in fact the past history of the students, police testimony and the situation at hand all come into play and determine the length of suspension.

She also stated that if parents don’t like the outcome then they can appeal to a decision panel.

Sam has stated that he only had 5 months left in his senior year and could not understand why they would do this to him at this time. His mother stated that she will fight the decision appeal and should have been notified of his past hugging if it were in fact a problem.  Instead of threatening his future and his scholarship. His mother then went on to Facebook and posted a change petition calling the board to reconsider and actually had more than 200 signatures by Monday evening.

The online public reaction to Sam McNair’s punishment seems to be somewhat mixed.  Those who believe it’s too severe and those who are looking into his past to see what more may lay behind.

Sue Scheff, a parenting advocate has said that the zero tolerance is a bit severe however she would like to look into Sam’s past and what his prior suspensions were all about. But she did go on to taste that hugging is not a form of sexual harassment unless with further intention which she did not see in this case.

1Other Commentators do believe though if the teacher had complaint about this incident prior then that is the key point here. One commentator was noted as saying he couldn’t believe what the world had come into when simple hugs can’t even be exchanged.  The whole situations seems to have been taken out of context.  Sam himself stated that something so innocent should not have been perceived as something completely opposite, it was uncalled for.

Losses and Wins of the Budget Deal

By | Published June 7, 2013

1On Tuesday in Washington, the Senate Murray- Ryan budget plan passed the Vote. The slender 77 page will in fact affect million of Americans. It will affect fees, programs and the whole economy in the many years to come.

The winners will be: Of course The Pentagon as smiles were strewn about.  Thanks to Murray budget plan the hatched has been down sized tremendously. Deal initiates billions in cuts so that the military desriction will go up billions in the next year. After years spend negotiating, spending temporary bills this two year deal allows admirals and generals to plan ahead working side by side.

As the deal passes Senate Vote, the federal employees are affected.  As it cuts down the chances of a shutdown for january 2014. A tech bill would allow those married with kids to obtain health benefits plus one.The current law only allows for single or family plans.

This will help those who are funded for the meals on wheels program.  The way the numbers will play out is still unknown. This will allow for two years of help to determine the next moves and the ability to build more help and action. The TSA (also known as The Transportation Security Administration) also win in this situation as they get increased security fees. Giving more reliable funding at this point.  American Reputation would get salvaged as for 3 years the government has had fiscal to fiscal crises. This sends out the message that even a divided government can get together and work together for a better future.

The Losers would be undortunately the millitary as this deal gives them less retirement if you’re less than 62. Level under inflation is where the cost of living would end up.

1New Federal Jobs would be affected meaning if you start your new job after January 1st then your pay would be cut by 1.3%. It would mean a mandatory contribution to the pension fund. The unemployed would as well be affected because as time is ticking the bill does nothing to help those on unemployment benefit Expiring this month for 1.3 million Americans.
This will affect the air travels as you will be responsible to pay $5.60 for a one way ticket. As this will boost the TSA Security and thus your safety. The airlines used to pay this fee but companies are already admitting that the personell travelling will have to cover this fee.

Another loss will be for the gas and oil company. They are approximated to loss $50 million for research program or backdoor in which they used to pay to get federal funding.

Overall, this will affect the U.S in the long run in medical and social security. They may both be sitting silence at the moment but in the decades to come they will become a huge threat financially to the economy and the federal budget.  This bill is for current changes and does not address the coming years and how many problems may occur as a result.
