Parents Put Teen On Street Corner After Suspension
Parents Put Teen On Street Corner After Suspension

POSTED: 4:17 pm EST February 24, 2006

PORTAGE, Ind. -- It's a sign of the times for 16-year-old Jamal Wooten -- very bad times.

He was suspended from school for using foul language. But that wasn't punishment enough to Jamal's family.

They made the teenager stand on a street corner with a sign telling the world about his dirty mouth. After standing on a corner in Portage for four hours, Jamal said he's learned his lesson.

Can we do this with bush? If not let's get a cardboard cut out of him holding a sign...

As much as we'd all like to see the REAL THING, I don't think that's gonna happen.

But the cardboard cut-out idea is BRILLIANT! Of course, the sign he's holding will have to be removable, to make way for the next day's sins ...

3. Would like to place these in some areas of Ohio :)
Holding signs like "I lied, your kids died"
"I sent your kids to die in Iraq and all's I got was this cash and oil"

I am sure we have a lot more we could add :)

2. When I was in 2nd grade
our teacher made the whole class write out on notebook paper "I have been very disobedient today" and tape them on our shirt/blouse and walk to our dorms. I told the other kids, "Let's throw them away". I think I balled my up and littered. When I got to our dorm one on the girls squealed on me and I got a whuppin. Swell. Bet 9 to 1 his parents are neocon freepers.
