ham sandwich hate crime
At Lewiston, ME Middle School, placing pork in the mere presence of
Muslims is currently being called a hate crime.
.. incident of "Muslim outrage" involves a middle-school student purportedly placing a ham sandwich wrapped in a baggie on a lunch table where Somali Muslim students sit. One 14 year-old unnamed Somali student is reported to have said: "At the school the next day, I didn't feel safe. I felt like everybody was against me. Before I felt like I fit in, and everything was normal." The ham-placing "offending student" has been suspended, the Maine middle school is calling the placing of the ham sandwich a "hate crime" and the local police are investigating the child. More charges against the child may be forthcoming. School Superintendent Leon Levesque said: "The school incident is being treated seriously as a hate incident!" Then, in the true and remarkable spirit of the Kumbaya-for-Islam set, Levesque added: "We've got some work to do to turn this around and bring the school community back together again."
"the incident does not reflect the moral values of the school staff and students. We need to take a look at this and review how a careless act is degrading and causes hurt to other people. All our students should feel welcome in our schools, knowing that they are safe from attacks with ham, bacon, porkchops, or any other delicious meat that comes from pigs."
Note:
Jews also believe pork is unclean but, there has never been any effort
by the public school system to remove pork, in order to honor their
religious beliefs. That is reserved solely for Muslims.
That's crazy, what's the country coming to. People really need to get a grip on reality. It's all about the spin and the 15mins of fame. Offer a Hindu a hamburger and get 30yrs, have your 5yr old labled a "sexual predator" for touching his teachers breast. I blame Jesse Jackson, Faracon, and the rest of those "race card" media ******. It's time people stand up and say STOP, just becouse your ________ it does not entitle you to blame everything on someone else. It's time for people too look a little further and understand "stuff" happens unrelated to your race,religion,gender,sexual prefrence,ect,ect. (/rant)
If I did some of the stuff today that I did when I was in middle school, I would never have made it to high school. I'd probably still be in jail. What a sad state of affairs.
IMO the hate crime would have been if the kid made him eat the sandwich. Or had written on the table something derogatory about muslims, similar to writing **** symbols on a Jewish temple.
I am against hate crimes (as I know them). I guess now a hate crime needs to be defined. I'm sure one of our members will have the ability to check that out for us.
