School Makes Kids Use Buckets for Toilets

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) - An elementary school principal trying to prevent student walkouts during immigration rallies introduced a lockdown so strict that children weren't allowed to go to the bathroom, and instead had to use buckets in the classroom.
Worthington Elementary School Principal Angie Marquez imposed the lockdown March 27 as nearly 40,000 students across Southern California left classes to attend immigrants' rights demonstrations.
Marquez apparently misread the district handbook and ordered a lockdown designed for nuclear attacks.
Tim Brown, the district's director of operations, confirmed some students used buckets but said the principal's order to impose the most severe type of lockdown was an "honest mistake."
"When there's a nuclear attack, that's when buckets are used," Brown told the Times. The principal "followed procedure. She made a decision to follow the handbook. She just misread it."
A message left by The Associated Press for the principal at the school before business hours Monday was not immediately returned, and Marquez did not return telephone calls from the Los Angeles Times.
Appalled parents have complained to the school board. Brown said the school district planned to update its emergency preparedness instructions to give more explicit directions........

I wonder what is going through that principal's head when doing something like that? total power trip
even though she has an hispanic surname, i'm certain it was KEEP THOSE 'WETBACKS' OUT OF MY COUNTRY
No wonder things like Columbine happen. I posted this over at home (with, of course, the obligatory plug). Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
California Uber Alles!
i'm fuming and this has NOTHING to do (well directly) with me. if i was a parent of one of these kids i don't even know what i'd do. can you imagine having to defecate in a bucket in a class room? what is this 1950s duck and cover?
why didn't he just remove the toilet paper?
And people ask why kids aren't learning. It's because this is the mentality of some of the teachers. Idiots can pop up anywhere. We have several in the white house.
rev, the principal was a SHE
p o p-yes we sure do
the director of operations (a title i once held i'll have you all know, BUT NOT for a school district) said the BUCKETS WERE FOR USE IN THE EVENT OF NUCLEAR ATTACK. yeah right. they'll be plenty of time to take a dump in a bucket when the big one hits
Rose when the big one hits, the dumps will be taken immediately and not in any damned buckets, more likely in panties.
oh my thoughts EXACTLY
