INGLEWOOD, Calif. - A principal trying to prevent walkouts during immigration rallies inadvertently introduced a lockdown so strict that children weren't allowed to go to the bathroom, and instead had to use buckets in the classroom, an official said.


Worthington Elementary School Principal Angie Marquez imposed the lockdown March 27 as nearly 40,000 students across Southern California left classes that morning to attend immigrants' rights demonstrations. The lockdown continued into the following morning.

Marquez apparently misread the district handbook and ordered a lockdown designed for nuclear attacks.

Tim Brown, the district's director of operations, confirmed some students used buckets but said the principal's order to impose the most severe type of lockdown was an "honest mistake."

"When there's a nuclear attack, that's when buckets are used," Brown told the Los Angeles Times. The principal "followed procedure. She made a decision to follow the handbook. She just misread it."

In some cases teachers escorted classmates to regular restroom facilities, students said.

A message left by The Associated Press for the principal at the school before business hours Monday was not immediately returned, and Marquez did not return telephone calls from the Times.

Appalled parents have complained to the school board. Brown said the school district planned to update its emergency preparedness instructions to give more explicit directions.

Parents and community activists asked the school board at its April 5 meeting to explain the principal's decision. They also sought promises that the lockdown wouldn't be repeated.

"There was no violence at the protests, so this was based on what?" activist Diane Sambrano asked. "It was unsanitary, unnecessary and absolutely unacceptable."

hahah what kind of idiot thinks forcing kids to pee in a bucket is an honest mistake.. as soon as kids were peeing in buckets , didnt someone say " hey kids are peeing in buckets that doesnt sound right "

Damn thats crazy


I would pee in the bucket though

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

When was that ????

hiroshima.. everyone peed in buckets because there was no bathrooms :)

How many ELEMENTARY age students were planning on walking out anyway? I would think that would be dangerous.

Aaaah.... the luxury problems in western world. Love it! :1orglaugh

Long text again :mad: :mad: :mad:

Nice school if the principal cant read!

wtf lol, you cant do that!

Great ---- Nukes are coming what are we supposed to do? Pee in buckets!

Yeah maybe it is time to update that emergency manual.

why would you pee in a bucket...its got to be dumped somewhere so just pee where they are going to dump it...down a sink? :)

you didnt read step #2


-----

STEP #2 throw pee buckets at enemy.. !!!!!

they prob just had that there so that kids wouldnt get seperated from the teacher in an emergency.. it does kind of make sense , but i think that would be "common sense " you wouldnt need a manual for..

Like if a gunman was in the school , and a kid "HAD" to go pee and insisted on going to the bathroom , you could say " no!! pee in a bucket " and not be violating the kids right to urinate..

yeah that makes sence

but what a horrible and traumatic situation that would have been for kids.. like if your a 12 year old girl. and the techer forces you to go in the corner and pee in a bucket while everyone watches... wtf were they thinking.. i would have pissed all over the teacher.. infact i remember a teacher when i was in school denying a kid the right to go to the bathroom so he said " im gonna pee right here " and the teacher said " go ahead " and he went for his fly, and the teacher was like "ok go to the bathroom , but be quick " lol

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh. it's the SAFE plan yo

I hven't had such bad experiences at school but you're right it is a traumatic situation.

Someone's getting fired.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

That's how wars are won :winkwink:

I think that in the event of a Nuke attack, there wont be much pee left. Most of it will be vaporized.

nice reporting Smokey....that amazes me....honest mistake...



PEEING IN BUCKETS!!!!!

give that woman a raise!

I bet she's a fan of pissing sites

Glad to see it was a Clifornia principal and not California principle. That would have been disturbing.

Besides, if you have ever been to Mexico you know that peeing in a bucket isn't that unusual down there.

reminds me of shit stirring duty in the Army.
standing out by a stinky ass latrine, stirring the shit.

I hope he provided adequate toilet paper

The best part is that the... "The principal "followed procedure. She made a decision to follow the handbook. She just misread it."

Yeah like that's someone who you want to be the "principal" of a learning facility....LOL

Nobody is talking about that Worthington Elementary is next to a High School that had hundreds of Mexican kids going crazy protesting that day. It also is in a very bad part of LA County "Inglewood". The blacks and the Mexicans in that area have been having a gang war and drive by shootings are an every day thing.
