1. Lewisville schools are taking on that whole free speech thing. The schools are trying to limit what teachers can say on their social network pages. Basically, they’re prohibiting them from saying anything bad about the schools. “Non-instructional social networking sites should not contain references by the staff member to any affiliation with LISD,” the schools say. “A staff member’s web presence must reflect positively upon the district, department, and/or school.” That seems fair. I mean when you don’t trust your employees to have common sense, then encroach on their free speech.
2. I feel like this story about motorcycle gangs buzzing and zooming around drivers is a wee bit dramatic. The source in the story is quoted as saying things such as, “They’d pass and then the next one and then the next cluster and the next cluster and the next cluster.” And, “I wonder how many of those motorcyclists have family on the road at that time and how they would feel about it if somebody they knew was made quadriplegic from this action?” In the source’s defense, driving is scary.
3. There are many creepy things going on in this story. A man was found in his ex-wife’s boyfriend’s house. He was installing cameras in the bedroom and had installed one in the living room. That’s all fine and dandy. But the part that really scares me about this story are these lines, “He was taken to a hospital and later released without police knowing. He was arrested again when an officer spotted him walking along a street, police said.”
