The Butthead is Back!

 Toby Price got his job back.  The Hinds County School Board fired the Gary Road Intermediate School principal in 2022 after he read a book, I Need a New Butt, to his students.   He sued, lost, and appealed. WAPT reported: 




Note: Given the subject of the post, just could not resist.

Turn my children over to the State for eight hours a day? Sure! Keeps my electric bill low with the televisions turned off during school hours.

How much did the school district spend fighting their stupid decision?

Complain about MS public schools all you want, but at least the kids aren’t reading Chop of My Willy and Call Me Suzie. The vast majority of MS classrooms are still a safe environment for children. Can’t say the same for blue states.

Thanks to our cancel culture. The book does its job. Keeps the kid's attention. Perhaps it was not in the best taste, but it is not vulgar and there is no language that the children do not already use. Perhaps a new position outside of the haters, is better anyway.

I read every word of the posted proceedings and agree with the court. The decision is well based and laid out. My wife taught kindergarten and first grade for a number of years and it was not unusual for her to be referred to as MF (I've abbreviated it) in those classrooms as well as by the offenders' parents.

The book in question is silly, as the teacher says and 7-8 year olds are probably not embarrassed by the word butt. I do not think a book discussing sexual body parts or activities would be appropriate in a second grade classroom.

Seventy years ago it was: Fatty Fatty two by four, can't get out the bathroom door.

Does this mean he returns to the same job at the same location?

Why should it not apply? Any wrongful termination should have a remedy. I hope he *does* retire and, if he has an opportunity, moons the school board.

Before banning a book, maybe you should read it. Thank goodness my parents wanted me to read! I read banned in Boston books and got great grades all the way through graduate school. I was invited to join every social club and volunteer group everywhere I lived. I was a virgin bride and have been happily married for 57 years. Our children graduated college and have successful careers and my grands got full academic scholarships to college and play a sport at their universities. They will also be financially secure as are we. Yeah, reading books that were banned in Boston really wrecked my life. Some preachers really don't want you to read ALL the Bible which I've done several times and took a course in the history of religion.
If someone is holier than thou...avoid them!

I hear the young elementary kids these days have started telling fart and poop jokes! What is the world coming to?

As I see in the comments, the Baptists are still running Mississippi.

"Butt" is short for buttocks. However, the word "fart" in the book is still considered vulgar in many contexts. I was taught that it was vulgar growing up "back in the day."

Has the book Everyone Poops been banned yet?

That's the kind of pointyhead science edumacation we don't need much of!

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
