Asaulted with Banana peel

[cbg]

I had an office directly outside that of the Chairman of the Board once. He threw staplers. And once a telephone. The desktop kind, not a cell phone.

All members under the age of 40 are scratching their heads wondering what chalk is...

I remember chalk boards...and having to clap the erasers together in a big cloud of chalk dust to clean them.

You worked with Sinatra?

Not that Chairman. Chairman of the Board of Directors for my then-employing company

Though you'd be surprised at some of the people I do work with.

Chalkboard.

Can't use that.
In Ireland Chalky is a derogatory word for blacks.

Sorry - this forum is for US law matters only.

Most of the boards we had in the schools I attended were green, not black, so perhaps green board would work. My apologies to any green people made sick by the use of that term.

I had green ones too but they were always called "blackboards".

When I was in elementary school, a teacher was removed for throwing all sorts of objects at the students. The parents of students in the class protested by taking their kids out of the classroom and they refused to let them return until the teacher was replaced.

The schools in our area have both chalkboards and whiteboards in the classrooms so chalk is still used.

As a whiskey drinking non-recovering alcoholic, who spends many mornings green around the gills, I find that offensive.

For the OP: If you feel you have been discriminated against in a college setting, you should make your complaint to the school's Title IX investigator. Since the OP said she made a complaint, I assume it was with the school's Title IX office. They will investigate and respond.

If the OP would like to engage in a serious discussion of her rights and potential responses - talk to a civil rights attorney or start with either the local ACLU or NAACP.

PS: Joking aside: the times have changed - whether or not there is a racial component, throwing a banana peel at someone is incredibly disrespectful, is most certainly a criminal act, and has no place in a setting of higher education.

Nobody has asked why the teacher threw the banana skin. Whenever a teacher lobbed a missile at me there was always a valid reason, they didn't just do it out of boredom.

Bangot apparently was talking in class.

Blue politely raises her hand to answer...

I asked OP. She was talking.
