Wow, all this should shock me, but I am sad to say that is does not even a little.  Sounds like Donna all over again. If these things are true, and sadly I believe them, then the school better straighten him out. For some reason no one is suing over how Donna behaved, but if Mr. Brist is putting his hands on kids, they will sue eventually.

| Quote (jimhanson @ Feb. 14 2004,12:01:pm) | Doesn't District #241 have a policy on swearing, cigarettes on school property or functions (by a minor), or alcohol? I don't think he "made" the cops subject kids to breathalizer tests--that's a judgement call for the cops.
I doubt he accosted the kids for no good reason--he must have heard the kid, or seen the cigarettes, or had reason to suspect alcohol in the soda. Sounds like he was enforcing the rules the District laid down--maybe THAT'S why he was nominated for teacher of the year. If you want swearing, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking little hellions WATCHING (they seem to rarely PARTICIPATE) in sports, have the District change the rules--but don't expect many people to watch the resulting "cage match". |
I agree completely. I think Mr. Brist is a good teacher, he might be more active than other's if he finds out someone is breaking the rules, but isn't that a good thing? I've seen him chase kids down the hall who had drugs they were about to flush, but I never saw him do anything out of line. I sat next to him & his wife at a banquet a few years ago, I may have flunked his class, & never turned in any of my assignments, but I still respected him.

Mr. Tarzan makes good point
This does look like another Donna all over again. It is starting to happen just like with the cheer leaders and Donna. She would do something wrong and the cheer leaders would tell someone about it and the district would do nothing about it. This is what is happening to Mr. Brist he has messed up several times. He has been reported to the administration and yet nothing has happened. One day he is going to blow up just like donna.
WAKE UP DIST. 241 OUR KIDS ARE IN THIS SCHOOL AND AT THESE GAMES DO YOU WANT A SHORT STUMPY MAN ATTACKING YOUR CHILD!!

Hey Irisheyes
HE MIGHT BE MORE ACTIVE WHEN SOMEONE IS BRAKING THE RULES!! HE JUST GRABBED A KID AND DRUG HIM 20 FEET WHEN HE WASN'T EVEN SURE IF THE KID WAS GUILTY. To me and most other people that is out of line. Ya maybe tell the kid to leave the game "if he actually knew that he did something wrong" He crossed the line this time and like was mentioned earlier i hope there is a lawsuit so Mr. Brist pays for stupidity

O yeah about the time where he reached into the pockets of a fan and pulled out cigs. I recall one student making the comment of sayin" you cant do that you dont have that authority" he quickly got on the case of this student by getting an inch away from his face and telling him to leave the arena. He never even remebered about the cigs. He was to wrapped up in trying to bully the student then somethin he inteneded to do. Come on Brist grow up will ya.

Give me a break. This has got to be the most gossip laden, rumor mill on the internet. It's amazing how people can read and respond to some of the trash on here and accept it as truth. "Dragged a kid 20 feet" - get serious! "He has no right to do this" (take cigarettes away) - read the law! "Do you want a short stumpy man attacking your child" - who's he ATTACKED?! One other thing. For those of you that like to encourage law suits (including a few in this topic) maybe you should also include some definitions in your posts - such as libel and defamation of character. Remember, this is a public forum and the laws of public speech apply (laws and penalties that is, criminal and civil). You may want to think twice before making slanderous comments without solid proof. The first amemdment does not guarantee protection against libelous (intentionally harmful for those of you who slept through English class) statements. And the internet is easily traced (just ask the people who were sued by the recording industry). Just a little food for thought!!

Take a deep breath in, let it out, pop a few Ritalin... feel better? Nobody here will ever take you seriously if you scream at them. If you want to get your point across you need to learn to converse diplomatically.
And "reader", in order to prove libel you'd have to show proof that the statement was both false AND meant to harm. I hardly think that repeating what was witnessed by others is libel. If someone started spreading rumors that Brist flew to Indonesia every month for romps with 10-year-old boys, THAT would be libel.

Not quite true Lisa. Finding the initial statement of someone who "witnessed" an incident is quite easy in an environment such as this. Many of the statements that are made here are rants that may have a small bit of truth and a lot of personal vendetta attached to them. Whatever the case, making a statement that is knowingly false that has the potential to harm is still libel. That original statement, if it causes "significant or irrepairable harm" to a person's reputation is subject to prosecution. I would say the person that can best make that judgement is the person who is being talked about. It makes no difference to me if people want to take their chances of who's right and wrong with this definition. Like I said before, a lot of people decided that the recording industry was wrong in their interpretation of the law also - fewer now though!!

ok mr. reader, you want some truth. I am the student that he did drag across the bleachers at the hockey game. he first grabbed my jacket and got 2 in. from my face to yell at me for nothing. then drug me down to the end of the belachers and continued to yell at me, when i told him to get his hands off me he replys, "what are you going to hit me." there is a pretty inteligent statement to make for being a supposed adult. Mr. brist might get lucky this time and nothing will happen to him but i assure you that if he ever does let anything even remotely close to this happen there will be more then one law suit.
