"Public schools in Jackson, Miss., will no longer be allowed to
handcuff students to poles or other objects, under a settlement with
the Southern Poverty Law Center reached in U.S. District Court.

Jody Owens, director of the Mississippi office of the Southern Poverty
Law Center, said the Capital City Alternatives school in Mississippi's
largest district must immediately stop handcuffing students, a
practice used to punish even such things as dress-code violations.

"The focus should be education, not incarceration and it's tantamount
to child abuse when children are handcuffed to railings for something
as simple as not having the appropriate belt or inappropriate shoe
strings," Owens said.

Only seven months or so until I name the current years recipient.

What is the Golden Come-Along Award?

The Golden Come-Along Award is given to that individual who has been deemed to
have had his/her head stuck so far up their ass during the previous year that
it would require the assistance of a come-along to pull it out.

Do you wish to place "Truth Teller" into contention for the coveted Award?
