8 Parents Who Punished Their Own Bullying Kids The mother who shaved her daughter's head as punishment for "bullying a cancer patient" Bizarre footage has emerged of a mother appearing to shave her daughter's hair as a form of unusual and — some would argue — cruel punishment. The "scary shave" was one woman's reaction to her daughter bullying a bald cancer patient. In the disturbing video, the girl can be seen sitting in a bathtub, crying and screaming as large clumps of hair are shaved off. Her mother can also be seen speaking to her daughter calmly while she runs the razor through the girl's hair. The footage went viral on social media with the caption, “This girl bullied another girl at her school who has cancer, so her mom decided to shave her head.” (Source) The mom who punished her 8-year-old by making him hold a sign calling himself a bully An Oklahoma mom made her 8-year-old son stand holding a sign reading: “I picked a fight because I'm a bully."

Flag timeline Adoption of State Flag Desecration Statutes — By the late 1800's an organized flag protection movement was born in reaction to perceived commercial and political misuse of the flag. After supporters failed to obtain federal legislation, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota became the first States to adopt flag desecration statutes. By 1932, all of the States had adopted flag desecration laws. In general, these State laws outlawed: (i) placing any kind of marking on the flag, whether for commercial, political, or other purposes; (ii) using the flag in any form of advertising; and (iii) publicly mutilating, trampling, defacing, defiling, defying or casting contempt, either by words or by act, upon the flag. Donald Trump Can’t Shut Down New York Times Tax-Leak Showing He Lost Nearly $1 Billion in 1995 Trump’s lawyer pledged “prompt initiation of appropriate legal action” against the Times, saying the Oct. 1 story was “illegal” because Trump did not authorize the release of his confidential tax returns. What is the “appropriate” legal action? None. Even my journalism students in my entry-level media law class know that the First Amendment provides an absolute legal shield to journalists who are sued for publishing lawfully obtained documents that are a matter of public concern. The U.S. The internet is blowing up with stories saying that the Times could be prosecuted criminally under federal tax law 26 U.S. Watch: So Does Trump's Tax Maneuvering Make Him A Genius Or Irresponsible? Which takes us back to Bartnicki, where the Supreme Court ruled that the government could not punish a radio journalist for airing an illegally taped phone call because the journalist received the tape from a third-party and the tape was a matter of public concern. Thank You!

Government to protect Armed Forces from persistent legal claims in future overseas operations 4 October 2016 The Government will protect our Armed Forces from persistent legal claims by introducing a presumption to derogate from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) in future conflicts, the Prime Minister and the Defence Secretary have announced. Over the past decade a series of court judgments have extended the extra-territorial jurisdiction of the European Convention on Human Rights to the battlefield. Military advisers warn that this risks seriously undermining the operational effectiveness of the Armed Forces. The intention to derogate from the ECHR, if possible in the circumstances that exist at that time, will protect British troops serving in future conflicts from the kind of persistent legal claims that have followed recent operations in Iraq and Afghanistan on an industrial scale. Prime Minister Theresa May said: "Our Armed Forces are the best in the world and the men and women who serve make huge sacrifices to keep us safe." Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said:

Watch These Awkward Elevator Rides From an Old Episode of Candid Camera Elevator rides can be awkward. The tiny space forces passengers into close quarters as they slowly scale up and down buildings. In this clip from a '60s episode of the American hidden camera show Candid Camera, the first unsuspecting rider, a middle-aged man in a trench coat, gets an even more unusual elevator experience. As other passengers follow behind him the man finds all of them oddly facing the back wall. “You’ll see how this man in the trench coat tries to maintain his individuality,” says the host of the show, Allen Funt. The man in the trench coat rubs his face and nose in confusion at the other passengers. In the 1960s, social conformity experiments got all the laughs. Today, psychologists and researchers still turn to and Asch’s experiments, the famous Candid Camera clip popularly shown in psychology classes. Wosmek and colleagues at Bethany Lutheran College replicated the elevator experiment in 2011, and found similar awkward situations seen in the 1962 clip.
Famous cartoonist made donkey and elephant the symbols of political parties Thomas Nast’s cartoon shows a donkey in a lion’s skin scaring an elephant and other animals. (Library of Congress) Why is the elephant the symbol of the Republican Party and a donkey the symbol of the Democrats? A very famous political cartoonist named Thomas Nast is credited with making these animals the symbols of their parties during the 1870s. (The donkey was first associated with the Democrats during the election of 1828, but it wasn’t until Nast used it in 1870 that many people began to link the Democrats with the donkey.) In 1874, Nast drew the cartoon shown above with a donkey wearing a lion’s skin and scaring all the other animals in the forest. Bonus fun fact: Nast was the first person to draw Santa Claus as a fat, bearded elf.

The German Teens Who Rebelled Against Hitler These adolescents, aged between 12 and 17, hang around late in the evening with musical instruments and young females. Since this riff raff is in large part outside the Hitler Youth and adopts a hostile attitude towards the organization, they represent a danger to other young people.—Nazi Party Report, Dusseldorf, Germany, July 1943 From the time Adolf Hitler rose to power and prominence in his native Germany, his mission had been to indoctrinate the next generation of citizens to be fearless, cruel, and unwavering—all the qualities he needed to combat democracy. The Hitler Youth organization was developed to satisfy his goals. But not all of Germany’s adolescents were willing to be subordinates to Hitler’s cause. Regardless of social class, boys and girls under the age of 14 were expected to affiliate themselves with the German Youth Group. Owing to either fear or loyalty, it’s estimated that more than 90 percent of German children were enrolled in the groups.
