OK, no clue how long we’ll get to see it, but does anyone want guess why I posted this? I really have no idea what it’s about, I read something after doing a search (guess what it was), and thought it was funny. No need to read the whole thing, only the relevant parts. I hate the fact one can’t comment without being a member, it’s why I like Ookee.

Obviously you’ve got something against the Dougs of the world.
I understand if the Doug in your life is stupid. I am and it’s contagious.

After reading the post again … I really hope the teacher either got fired or severely reprimanded … even I think the teacher went overboard. you don’t single kids out like that and be serious about it. I’m aware of teachers who have singled kids out like that (perhaps not this obviously), but they weren’t 4th graders and usually understood it was all in good fun. After all, different is bad.

I have to say, I don’t think I’d have taken this the way I’ve taken similar things . . . 4th grade or no. There’s a difference between lightheartedly pointing out the fact that different is bad and seriously demanding a per-made list of flaws in someone. I don’t know anyone that’d thake this well, 4th grade or today.

I had a teacher in third grade who did something similar. There was some canned food drive thing going on, and my Mom forgot to give me any canned food when I left home. So the teacher hauled me up in front of an assembly and told them all what a selfish brat I was.
She did a lot of things like that to me. So did almost every other teacher I had until sixth grade. Ah the joys of public education.
And people wonder why I turned out a curmudgeon.

Indeed, we Dougs are dicks, but that’s just because we are so much better than the bulk of humanity. Most people are jealous of our advanced intellect, good looks, skill with women in and out of bed, and general superiority.
The teacher in the story was simply jealous of Doug and took it out in the only way she knew how: persecution. We Dougs have suffered a long history of this. It’s sad, but until everyone else catches up we will probably continue to be despised, reviled, targetted and attacked.
It’s not easy being the best in the world, but at least we don’t lord it over everyone. In fact we usually supress it just so people feel like they fit into our world.

So who do we blame for Doug Henning?

No one in particular. It was the 70s and everyone in the entertainment industry was *really* high (not that they aren’t still high, but ‘ludes were legal back then).
