Quit Your Ballin!
A fourth grade teacher is in a pickle over a baseball error in his classroom. The New York elementary school teacher is a huge Red Socks fan. One of his 9-year old students came into class wearing a NY Yankee's tee shirt. The teacher said he was joking with the boy when he told him that he should turn his tee shirt inside out since everyone knows that teach is a huge Red Sock fan. On the way to recess, the boy turned the shirt inside out. On the playground, he claims that he was teased and made fun of. Of course, that night at home, he told his parents about the teasing. Parents called the principle complaining of the "abuse" caused by the teacher commenting on the boys shirt. They also said the boys First Amendment rights were violated. Now the Red Socked teacher is under investigation and I would not be surprised if he's called Out! by the Umpire. I wonder if he'll start wearing dark blue socks?
P.S. Linda just read this, and said I had to stop using so man run-on sentences and for using way, way, too many commas.
