Reason 368 to HomeSchool: Special Ed Teacher Won’t Bang Your Special Needs Son and Let Him Drive Without a License

There seems no end of predatory behavior by school teachers. The latest story is about a homely special education teacher by the name of Christina Butler who was having sex with a ninth grader. And after a romp in the hay, she would let him run around in her Jeep, without a license, giving all of his special friends a ride.


Tina Butler is a Special Education Teacher who admitted to giving one student an “extra special education.”

From Local10.com here:

A 33-year-old high-school teacher was arrested after admitting that she had sex with a 16-year-old student.

Christina Butler, a ninth-grade teacher at Middleton High School, admitted to the relationship with the boy after a series of events Tuesday that began with a police stakeout targeting street crime at an apartment complex, police said.

Officers first followed a group of six boys who left the apartment complex on bicycles, the report said. Later, the same group was pulled over driving erratically in Butler’s Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The 16-year-old driver, who did not have a license, told police that his friend Butler let him use the vehicle. Another boy told an officer that the driver was involved in a relationship with the teacher.

Butler was called to the scene and questioned by officers who said she eventually admitted having sex with the student, whom she taught in one of her classes.

Charged with lewd or lascivious battery, she was released early Wednesday after posting $7,500 bail.

She was suspended with pay from her $35,000-a-year job until the school board can address the situation. Butler is a new teacher at Middleton High, having just started there in August. She teaches special education.

Update!
It turns out that the school was warned previously about Butler having sex with the retarded child. But instead of investigating Butler, they suspended the student who reported her for spreading rumors!

From Tampabay.com here:

About two weeks ago, a girl started talking at Middleton High, telling people that a special education teacher for the mentally disabled was sleeping with one of her students.

Middleton principal Carl Green talked with the teacher, Christina Butler, 33, and the 16-year-old boy. Both denied it, said Hillsborough school spokesman Stephen Hegarty. The girl continued to talk, though, saying the teacher should be fired. Administrators suspended the girl, “pending conference,” which means until she and a parent or guardian sat down with an administrator to talk.

TJMaxx Announces They Are Not Finished Screwing Their Customers

The breach of TJMaxx customer data, which I initially wrote about here, has been updated. Brian Krebs at the WaPo says that data loss could have affected as many as 94 Million accounts.

The cost of doing business when you can’t keep your data secured? How about One Billion Dollars, Dr. Evil.

From the WaPo here:

TJX Breach Was Twice as Bad as First Reported
The largest digital data theft ever recorded was bigger than originally thought. TJX, the Massachusetts retail giant that earlier this year disclosed that a series of network and computer intrusions had compromised more than 45 million credit- and debit-card numbers, may have lost more than twice that number.

A group of banks suing TJX over the compromises now claim that more than 94 million accounts were affected in the break-ins, according to The Boston Globe. The thefts included about 65 million Visa account numbers and roughly 29 million MasterCard credentials.

Several analysts have estimated that the total costs to TJX could run as high as $1 billion, including legal settlements and lost sales. To date, though, sales figures reported by TJX suggest that shoppers have not been put off by the breach.

TJX believes intruders stole the data via insecure wireless networks at two Marshalls stores in Miami.

An insecure wireless network. But not only that, such a network would have to be directly connected to internal databases that were also unfirewalled and weakly protected. Most security should have layers of protection, but it sounds like TJX had none of that.

Safest City for Zombie Outbreak? Lansing, Michigan


Now this is what I call specialized training.

Lansing Michigan, in addition to normal training for fires, crime waves, mass protests and even terror attacks, also practices how to repel a zombie invasion! You just never know, says the mayor.

From the Lansing State Journal here:

Imagine waking up tomorrow, switching on the news and hearing the anchor say that Lansing — or even the world — is being overrun with brain-eating zombies. No, we’re not talking about the Halloween variety. The real deal.

That means you won’t be stopping at QD for that doughnut on the way to work. In fact, you probably won’t be going to work ever again – well, unless your current job involves splitting zombie skulls.

Forget filling out reports, you’re probably going to spend your days either running away like a wuss or going toe-to-toe with reanimated mounds of flesh.

Do you know where your crowbar is?

If your best buddy, your neighbor or your mail carrier came lurching toward you with a soulless look in their eyes, would you have what it takes to ice them?

If the zombies attacked today, would you be ready? Would Lansing?

Prepared for an invasion

Lansing police and fire crews say they’re ready for any attack on our fine city. Officials said Lansing wouldn’t be taken by surprise and in a few hours could be armed to the teeth.

“We have been doing mock disasters and cross training for several years,” said Lansing Police Lt. Bruce Ferguson.

People can feel confident, if zombies start invading, we’ll know how to close the streets. We can get chainsaws too.

“If a swarm comes in on I-496 westbound, we’ll block off the exits so they miss the city.”

You know, large natural disasters such as the California wildfires may actually be a government coverup for a huge zombie outbreak. The fires may be a result of burning piles of infected undead corpses or even the use of flamethrowers by the military. Once the smoke clears and bodies turn up, people should check the corpse’s heads. If they have head wounds, that is clear evidence that there was a battle and the zombies lost.

At least one city is prepared.
