It’s about time. 25 students at the Calumet middle school in Chicago were arrested for a food fight. “You can take someone’s eye out with pudding, you know,” I muttered to no one in particular.
“My children have to appear in court,” Erica Russell, the mother of two eighth-grade girls who spent eight hours in jail, said Tuesday. “They were handcuffed, slammed in a wagon, had their mug shots taken and treated like real criminals.”
Some mother you turned out to be, Erica. No remorse at all for the clothing that will need to be washed, the floors the will need to be scrubbed. Is this the lesson you’ve taught your delinquent girls, to wield slices of white bread like ninja stars? Maybe their stint in a holding cell will be just the ticket to teach them who’s in charge, and prevent a future of shooting heroin and wearing fishnet stockings. It starts with a food fight, but ends up with bank robberies. Are you raising bank robbers, Erica?
But the compelling need to squash violence in the cafeteria is one thing. Silencing a conspiracy of students is another. Via Turley,

[Principal Thomas] Murray stumbled on a conspiracy on Facebook where he learned that kids in the Danvers High School in Massachusetts intended to say “Meep!” in school — mimicking the lab assistant to Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Beaker, of “The Muppet Show.”
As if Murray was going to stand by and allow the students to take over and “meep” in his school! Not during his watch they won’t. No way, baby.
So naturally, some do-gooder anti-establishment Bill Kunstler wannabe lawyer, Theodora Michaels, decided to undermine the authority of Principal Murray with a snarky internet letter.
Murray, however, did not want it in his school and banned it — sending an automated call to parents warning that any student using “Meep!” could be suspended. His minions had uncovered a plot for students to do a “mass meep” in one part of the school.The disruption that a “mass meep” would cause to the educational process is more than any professional educator could stand. This must be stopped. This must be silenced. This cannot be allowed to happen or the next thing you know, there will be a food fight.

An open letter to Principal Murray of Danvers High School (MA):
Meep.
Sincerely,
Theodora Michaels
Very nice. It’s not hard enough to teach children to behave with respect and submission to authority, so we need some wise-guy entertainment lawyer to lob grenades into the delicate balance of respecting authority and being obsequious.
Fortunately, Principal Murray demonstrated no fear in confronting Michaels’ outrageous affront to education.
Meep?

She says that the response was fast and furious: “Yesterday I received a reply email from Assistant Principal Mark Strout, which said (in full) “Your E-mail has been forwarded to the Danvers Police Department.”That will teach Theodora a lesson or two. We can only hope there’s still room in the holding cell after they’ve rounded up all the scoundrel food-fighters. What do you have to say now, Michaels?
Meep?

A lot of liberal parents make the mistake of thinking it’s okay to let their children say “Meep!” It seems harmless enough, and they probably experimented with it themselves when they were that age. But if you don’t stop your children at “meep,” pretty soon they will be saying “yup, yup, yup” and then “bork, bork, bork” and then it’s only a matter of time until they’re hanging out on street corners at night saying “menomenop” to total strangers.
You obviously understand the threat meep poses to our way of life. You are 110% American. I salute you.
Meep.
Commie.
I think it would really be “overselfindulgent” for me to “meep” at this point (both words are equally repugnant). Thus, you finally get the adminitration’s point…a life of overselfindulgencification by use of meepages in an educational setting will only end in adult meepation (a condition known to always end in obesity). Everyone knows that childhood meeping=food fighting=adult meepage=food abuse=obesity.
So you see, they ARE imprisoning that mother-meekers for their own good…it IS all for the children.
Ms. Michaels should be glad that her communication was not intercepted as part of a Title III wiretap investigation, in which case “meep,” according to the expert testimony of a “special” agent would certainly be a code word meaning “crack cocaine”
This is the city: Danvers, Massachusetts. Famous for its association the the Witch Hunts in 1692, they tell me. These days, you can dress up in a pointy hat and fly around with a broom up your butt, for all I care.
But no meeping. My name’s Friday; I carry a badge.
I was working the Meep desk out of Robbery homicide when the call came in …
Friday: Friday.
Strout: No, it’s Thursday.
Friday: My name’s Friday, and I’ve heard that one before, Mister. Just the facts.
Strout: I just got meeped.
Friday: that’s what we’re here for. What creep meeped you?
Strout: Said she was a lawyer, but it was that actress, from Sophie’s Choice, I think.
Friday: so you’re saying that you got meeped by that creep Streep?
Strout: Yeah. Is she in trouble?
Friday: well, you know what they say. As you sow, so will you . . .
Thank you I was wonder how the police responded to a Looney Tunes request for service.
The answer is . . . promptly.
You left out one of the most dangerous and vile habits performed by those who love to count, ha, ha, ha…
Dang it, Scott! I don’t need you encouraging people to call in with “meep” complaints.
And I’ll bet ya’ll think I’m joking.
This is brilliant and hilarious – thanks Jdog, nice to laugh between the tears of what passes for ‘justice’ these days ….
I’m seriously considering putting your phone number in here so that they can reach you day or night. You can’t be too careful when it comes to a meep.
Fuck me America, I mean Fuck.
Your kids think they can say “M**p” with impunity?
Fuck
And we trust you guys to build nations in Afghanistan and Iraq?
Get your house in order people or you will find yourselves very much alone on the world stage!
