Third Grader Caught with Leaflets of Mass Disruption
Virginia - Third grader Bobby Walden told reporters today "I will go along with all requests by Mr. Thomas and Ms. Fitch to declare all leaflets, paper, and spit balls of mass disruption in accordance with the mandate set by Principal McKinney."
This comes on the heels of the Soos Creek elementary security staff requesting a detailed list of all personal property belonging to Bobby Walden that would fall into category C of Westminster School District's list of unacceptable classroom paraphernalia. This list includes: crudely drawn pictures of school staff engaging in acts of absurdity, crudely drawn pictures of classmates kissing in a tree and/or treehouse, "do you like me" notes, spitballs, comic books, Garbage Pail Kid trading cards, sports trading cards, origami, origami made into a crude truth/fortune mechanism, stickers not accompanied with an assignment with a grade of "B" or better, or any object that the supervising teacher finds disruptive.
Mr. Walden has been known to use leaflets of mass disruption throughout his education at Soos Creek. In second grade, Mr. Walden was presumed to have created a leaflet program that included first graders Kim Hallen, Joseph Bradely, and Danny "pigeon face" Simons. The leaflets entitled "Ms. Crabtree smells like poo" were circulated through eight separate classrooms creating what one teacher's assistant called a "disruption of mass scale."
Although, leaflet inspectors have been doing routine assessments of the contents of Mr. Walden's desk, they left the desk alone since second grade when it became clear that Mr. Walden was hiding the insulting paraphernalia in Joey Farmer's desk. When Mr. Farmer's desk was then inspected it became clear that the leaflets, origami, spitballs, so forth were moved back to Mr. Walden's desk during lunch.
Security guard Paul Hogan explained "You know, how can we do our job if Bobby is continuing to elude, confuse, and misrepresent. Look, we have a job to do, if Bobby is not interested in clearly defining the contents of his desk, then we have no choice but to take the desk apart piece by piece." In September, Bobby's desk was gutted by the security team in an effort to find any hidden stashes or "cubbies" that Mr. Walden might be using to hide paraphernalia.
"So far, the signs are not encouraging. I have no faith in Mr. Walden's word or his credibility." Said Principal McKinney. "A complete desk and locker search may be required, by all means necessary. We must be vigilant." Archives
