Lady is about to be sued

Memphis, TN - Attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union say Daphne Beasley, the principal of Hollis F. Price Middle College High School in South Memphis, went way beyond her role as educator.

The ACLU says in September 2007, Beasley asked her staff to give her the names of students who were couples, heterosexual and homosexual, because she wanted to keep an eye on them to cut down on public displays of affection.

Ok -- NO -- you don't need names to identify PDA -- all you need to do is walk down the hall. It is none of your business who is coupled with whom, jackass.

She's accused of publicly posting the names of those students, including two boys, Andrew and Nicholas, who had just started dating. The ACLU says that in doing so, Beasley revealed their relationship to other students, teachers and even their parents.

"I really feel that my personal privacy was invaded," Nicholas says. "I mean, Principal Beasley called my mother and outed me to my mother!" More here:

WTF is wrong this these idiots? She's humiliating people -- calls his mom and outs him -- for what reason? You know -- they're telling kids all kinds of shit that they have no right to tell them -- and yet, they can't tell kids about the founding of our country, the importance of freedom and private property etc -- NOoooo - just give me the names of the couples.

I'd have gone on a much longer rant about this but this appears to be a private school -- so it's between the school and its customers. No worry, it won't be long before a public school does something stupid. And then? -- I shall vent.
