I once trusted the Birmingham Public Schools. I sent my children to school thinking they were safe and protected. I found out different.My 17-year old-daughter Gloria was sprayed in the face with pepper spray by a Birmingham police officer assigned to protect students in the school.She wasn’t being violent and she certainly wasn’t a threat to the officer. Gloria was upset because a boy had pushed her. While she was confronting the boy, the police officer grabbed her from behind, pulled out his canister of pepper spray, and sprayed her in the eyes, face, and mouth. My 15-year-old daughter Patrice saw her sister sprayed and ran to her side. As Patrice reached Gloria, the officer sprayed Gloria with a second burst of pepper spray. The second burst also hit Patrice in the face.When I saw Gloria, I couldn’t believe how red and swollen her face was. She was crying out to me to help her and I couldn’t do anything. She had red welts all over her face and her eyes were red. Days later the welts turned to black scabs that took two weeks to go away. Every time she washed her face, she cried again because water only made the pain worse. For weeks she refused to come out of her room and fell into a deep depression. It was a nightmare knowing my child suffered physical pain and depression because she reacted emotionally at school. She’s a teenage girl, not a criminal.After Gloria was sprayed, I was shocked to learn that this was not an isolated incident. Nearly 200 Birmingham high school students have been sprayed with pepper spray in just the last five years. The Southern Poverty Law Center hasn’t been able to find another school district that uses pepper spray on students for normal teenage behavior.The Birmingham Board of Education and Superintendent know about the routine use of pepper spray in schools and have done nothing to stop it. Birmingham Mayor William Bell knows about and authorizes the use of pepper spray against our children. Birmingham’s elected officials, who are supposed to represent the interests of parents and residents, know this is happening and have done nothing to stop it.
After a lawsuit was filed last year on behalf of eight high school students against the Birmingham Board of Education over the use of pepper spray against them at school, one attorney from the Southern Poverty Law Center has uncovered something shocking: they could not find a single school district in the country that uses pepper spray on students as much as Birmingham Schools,The Birmingham News reports."We have not ... learned of a single other school district in the country where Mace is used repeatedly and regularly the way it is in Birmingham," Maria Morris, managing attorney of the Montgomery SPLC office, said in a press conference, the report states.How regularly? SPLC officials say that the frequency had reached about 100 times over the last five years. They argue that the district is violating students' Fourth Amendment rights, WBRC reports.According to a separate report by The Birmingham News, two students included in the complaint are a 17-year-old girl who was four months pregnant when she was pepper-sprayed, and an 18-year-old girl with a heart murmur.
Yeah, gays cause hurricanes, tits cause earthquakes, and lack of prayer causes tornadoes. Learn to science, people.
Porn peddlers peddling pedal porn? My life is complete.

There are very few problems that cannot be solved with a good taint punching.
Considering AL is fundy-town, it was probably because she was dressing like a slut.
Sounds like Birmingham kids are a bunch of thugs. Dont act like a punk dont get the pepper. Sit down and shut up dont get the pepper. If your not physically threateninÂÂg the teacher then you will not get pepper sprayed. Its as simple as that. Kids are as out of control as ever. Parents cant be bothered with actually raising the brats they have they only want to blame society.
Holee SHIT!! This makes me happy that mace is ILLEGAL up here...WTF is wrong with those assholes?! They're children, not hardened criminals!
Just preparing them for prison . . . their next stop after school.
From international relations to religious rivalries, from marriage to athlete's foot, whatever the problem a fundy's first solution is usually violence.
Isn't pepper spray promoting illegal immigration?
