We're Number One!

Finally, some relief from football, bibles and canned vegetable self-defense!

School employees in Alabama were accused or convicted of sex crimes with students more frequently than in any other state on a per capita basis in 2014, according to records compiled by a former chief of staff of the U.S. Department of Education.

To be sure...and, oh so reassuring...

Terry Abbott, who in 2001 served as chief of staff under Secretary of Education Rod Paige during George W. Bush's first term as president, spent 2014 tracking every available report of teacher-student sex nationwide.

Abbott is quick to admit that his methodology isn't perfect. Because there is no federal law that uniformly legislates the legality of this issue, a relationship that's illegal in Alabama may not be in Montana, and one that's OK in Alabama may be a felony in Michigan.

1. "School wants kids armed with canned goods against shooters"

In case you missed it:

"The procedure will be the same as we have done in the past with the addition of arming our students with a canned food item. We realize at first this may seem odd; however, it is a practice that would catch an intruder off-guard.

"The canned food item could stun the intruder or even knock him out until the police arrive. The canned food item will give the students a sense of empowerment to protect themselves and will make them feel secure in case an intruder enters the classroom."
