OLATHE, Kan. (AP) - A high school student convicted of battery for vomiting on his Spanish teacher has been ordered to spend the next four months cleaning up after people who throw up in police cars.


A judge said he considered the boy's actions "an assault upon the dignity of all teachers." The teen, now 17, vomited on his teacher as he turned in his textbook on the last day of classes.

His attorney said the student vomited because he was nervous about his final exams.

But two other students testified that the teen said he threw up intentionally.

The teacher said the student, who was failing his class, made no effort to avoid throwing up on him.

Does anyone else think this is being handled too seriously?

Hah. it's funny

At the very least he could've made the effort to stop.

I mean generally, closing your mouth and turning away would be a good way.

Course I did that once and the throw up ended up coming out of my nose. My nose stung for the whole day. It was gross.

Of course, sometimes I realise it come completely unexpected. Heck, this one time..

You know what? I should shut up now.

I guess if you are a teenager with little respect for yourself or others one might get that impression. On the other hand it is probably very easy to say this is one of those rare occasions where the punishment actually fit the crime.

I'm used to yelling at my students for that :p

Common phrases around the classroom:

"Aw, that's so gay, Miss!"
"Man, you're gay!"

The implication that to call someone "gay" is insulting could be considered homophobic

If you use the word 'gay' to indicate that someone was stupid.. then that's homophobic.

Automatic connection gay people are stupid.

It's just like saying... You're so WHITE, when you really mean you're so stupid. Because then you're saying White people are stupid, and therefore you're racist.

No, I'd think I'd call that stupid liberal political correctness by people who take things too seriously. Secondly, gay also means happy. Does this mean gay people are always happy? (stereotypes aside) Please.

But that's enough offtopicness for me.

That idea is gay. However if you want to call people crackers, that is more amusing, because who the hell calls people crackers? Now white trash usually fits more..

I'm just saying how it could be viewed as homophobic.

Now if you don't want that issue to be brought up again, go ahead say things are 'gay.'

But type it as 'ghey' because then it'll be viewed as non-offensive.

It depends on the circumstances.
But, to some extent, YES.
I think that perhaps vomiting on the teacher was not his best idea, but cleaning vomit-filled police cars is a rather harsh punishment.

Bodily fluids can carry and transmit disease. I think this was handled appropriately.

You do realize this happened a month ago?

He puked on his teacher during Summer School, he was sued by the teacher and the teacher's reasoning was that he puked on him, the teacher, because he got an F on a test or something like that.

Its just a sign of idiocy.

Christ, oversensitve much? Reasoning like this is why all the people from GLAAD need to run, not walk, to the gun store and put themselves out of our misery. I recommend the ten gauge.

A person who uses "dumb" as a pejorative is afraid of mutes, "lame" for people who can't walk, "weak" for ectomorphs.

"White" is used as pejorative of sorts, "How white of you." It means that person has demonstraited certain provincial qualities. It does not mean that ther person saying it (who might well be white) believes all white people are stupid, nor does it indicate a belief in the supremacy of any race.

The misconception that you have any sort of reasonable point at all is nothing short of "retarded." And if you're going to go through the trouble, you could at least be original. Your nonsense came from someone else's pamphlet.

Wow I'm a multiple felon!

And, keeping with the tradition of thread hijacking, I always thought gay meant happy.
