Ex-teacher sues over noisy chair
LINK BRISTOL, England (AP) -- A British teacher who says a noisy chair made classroom life a misery is suing her former employer for unfair dismissal. Sue Storer, 48, told an employment tribunal Tuesday she was subjected to sexist and bullying behavior while working as deputy head teacher at Bedminster Down Secondary School in Bristol, southwest England. Storer said the school failed to replace her chair, which made a "farting" noise whenever anyone sat on it, although other staff received new chairs. She said the chair was a source of embarrassment, especially at parent-teacher evenings. She also said male colleagues were favored over her and she was placed under an unfair amount of pressure. "I had a nervous breakdown because of the ordeal I went through. It's just not fair that people can treat you like that," said Storer, who resigned in September. She said she would never teach again. She is seeking a ruling that the school's behavior amounted to unfair dismissal and sexual discrimination, as well as compensation for lost earnings. The tribunal is expected to rule within the next two weeks.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 05:38 PM) Unfortunately, I agree with you about many (perhaps even most) Americans not giving a crap because it's not directly affecting them right this minute. I think that Bush could've made a stronger case to us if he would've more strongly-emphasized the "bigger picture." But, like you said, whether or not the American public would care is a another matter. Franly, I'm happy that Bush has dismissed the I-don't-care-it's-not-affecting-me attitude that permeates our society. It's the President's job to do what is right, not what is popular. I'm sure that an American invasion of Afghanistan after the failed al Qaeda attack on the WTC in '93 or the U.S.S. Cole or Khobar Towers bombings wouldn't have gone over well with voters here under the previous administration. And look what happened when the Clinton administration decided that al Qaeda "wasn't our problem." I'll take the President who does what he honestly thinks is right over the one who is preoccupied with what the voters think. heh.. you make me laugh.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 04:24 PM) The thing is, with the media hounding every time this guy takes a s***, it really does become more difficult to explain things to the "American People" as a whole. Well he is the President. Is the media supposed to sit at home and wait till he feels like talking? And if he were more forthright in the beginning it wouldn't be such an ordeal whenever he had to talk to the press.

Iraqi diplomat gave U.S. prewar WMD details
QUOTE(WCSox @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 01:30 PM) What about all of the Iraqis whose family members were murdered by Saddam? I don't think they see it as "meaningless." Now they're being murdered by fellow Iraqi's. Hooray! What a victory!

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 12:55 PM) Again, you are spouting nothing but opinions. And as for the death of a son, you might not want to be so quick to throw that out so cavalierly. Just saying. Turns out my opinions are now part of the overwhelming majority of American's opinions in this war. Just saying.
