You sir, are a Sexist Pig!

Imagine looking for a job in this economy and being lucky enough to finally get an interview. In an effort to prepare for the interview, you Google the name of the people you will be meeting with.

How would you feel if the person who would be your supervisor (if you got the job); the person you must impress, had a Facebook page that listed the Facebook page below, as one of their likes?

WARNING THIS PAGE IS THOROUGHLY DISGUSTING NSFW OR ANY PLACE ELSE.

Let’s Expose These Hoes (LETH) ... Here's how it works: if you have naked or sexy photos of women, send them to the LETH website and they’ll put them on blast for you. Because, you know, these women are “hoes,” and they need to be “exposed,” get it? It appears that most of the women on LETH took these photos of themselves and sent them to someone they probably trusted.

Women should know better, but they seem to continue to make the mistake of trusting someone to keep her photos private. However, being stupid or naive doesn't mean a person deserves to have her life destroyed; nor does it make her a “hoe.”

The respect shown for women on these sort of pages is non-existent. The people accessing and “liking” the page, are in all likelihood doing it because they want to see the pictures AND they have a very low opinion of women.

Any person who is STOOPID enough to "like" this page, is a Sexist Pig and shouldn't be allowed to make hiring or firing decisions. Personally, I wouldn't care to work for any company that would have a manager who would subscribe to something like this. Interview cancelled.

I even saw that a local pastor "liked" the page. You can best believe, you won't see me or mine at that "church."

Over crowding and inequality in education - Peoria, Illinois

Where is the ACLU when you need them? They sue for over crowded prisons - they need to sue District 150 for over crowded schools.

A new school boundary map was made and schools were closed. Parents were given a handful of schools, where children are learning, that they could scramble and beg to attend. Today we read that Glen Oak Community School and Harrison Community School are filled beyond capacity.

While the schools North of Forrest Hill are not seeing classrooms bursting at the seams and children failing to learn; the schools South of Forrest Hill are. Additionally, the schools are all set up on some type of program schematic that place students on a different learning trajectory than their "peers" out North. When questioned about why the classrooms are so crowded, the Superintendent of Schools says: 

"I don't know where people are coming from...,"

How is this an acceptable response to the very real problem of classrooms packed beyond building code?

I will guarantee you, new people are not coming to Peoria feinding to attend Glen Oak or Harrison Community School. These are the same lower economic citizens that the City and the Schools have agreed it is okay to herd in this way. 

Inequality in education is a market in Peoria - it has been for generations. Folks coming from communities far and wide to make money off of the under educated parents with children who live in this town. Millions and millions of dollars in grant money has flooded into this community for the last several years, but ain't nothing changed. We continue to get what we got - maybe even worse. 

So what is the Board of Education going to do for all of these kids crammed into a couple of buildings? How will they remedy this heinous situation? Will they open up more schools; will they open up the boundaries and allow more students to get waivers; or will they continue to allow the most vulnerable students in the City of Peoria to be treated in this way? Unfortunately  I think I know the answer to these questions - they will do nothing. 

I am thoroughly disgusted with this situation, THIS IS WRONG!
