Teacher 'snips students' ears'
BBC News snip


A teacher in the northern Bangladeshi district of Bogra has been assaulted by angry relatives after he allegedly cut the ears of 17 students with scissors. Officials say the teacher defended his action as imposing class discipline.

Abdul Mazid Sardar, worked at an Islamic school, and was angry because his pupils failed to learn religious verses, officials say.

Parents and relatives say some of those cut by the scissors were aged between six and nine, and required stitches.


"As the students were creating chaos I just wanted to scare them by showing the scissors," Mr Sardar told local journalists. "Probably at the time an evil force mounted on me."

5. We had Sr. Mary Right Hook.
She could read minds and would slap you for what you were thinking.

Said 'yes ma'am' to her once and ended up on the floor.

7. FGM - I don't even think I'd broach that subject.
Do you think people are asking - what the hell is FGM?

I was present for the birth of both my kids and saw enough FGM to last a lifetime.

10. As a woman, I must say that

episiotomies performed by competent OB-GYNs under sterile conditions don't quite compare to clitorectomies performed al fresco with rusty razor blades by persons with no medical training.

15. FGM = female genital mutilation
The removal of certain "external female genital parts," namely the clitoris.

Usually performed because God says sex is only for procreation, so make it as un-fun as possible.

Question for "sex is only for procreation" fundies: when will glansectomies start to be performed?

17. "God says sex is only for procreation" - for women that is,
men can have up to four FMG'd wives....and all the clitoris-less fun in the world...

14. I loved the 'super duper hairy cooper.'
That's where the nun sidles up behind you and
claps her hands in an upward motion off the sides of
your head, similar to the motion of crashing a pair of hand held orchestra cymbals, but with your head in the middle. Very exciting.

18. Another guy with no accountability or responsibility...
Then again if the President of the United States can be that way then why not everybody else.
