    Exclamation TN - HS gym coach put on leave after saying girls 'pretty much ruin everything'

    Tennessee high school AD put on leave after saying girls 'pretty much ruin everything'

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mor...cid=spartanntp

    Jared Hensley, the athletic director and assistant principal at Soddy-Daisy High near Chattanooga, was placed on administrative leave Wednesday afternoon, soon after he said girls "pretty much ruin everything' in a video he had made for the student body.

    In a Wednesday morning video address to students called "A Helping of Hensley," he announces a ban on wearing athletic shorts. He acknowledges that boys will be unhappy about it, but he says he had made the rule.

    "If you really want someone to blame, blame the girls, because they pretty much ruin everything," he adds.

    "Ask Adam, look at Eve - you can really go back to the beginning of time."

    In the video, which was posted to YouTube and then taken down, but then uploaded by the Chattanooga Times Free Press, Hensley continues: "It'll be like that the rest of your life, keep your mouth shut, suck it up and follow the rules."

    His message prompted a sharp backlash on social media, with users calling his comments unacceptable and misogynistic and asking followers to contact Hamilton County Schools to express their displeasure.

    Maria E. Vives-Rodriguez, whose Twitter bio says she is an "early childhood consultant" in Chattanooga, posted, "These sort of misogynistic comments are inappropriate and that you want this administrator to be held accountable."

    And the Chattanooga-based @Momsforsocialjustice said on Twitter, "We will NOT stand for this language and sentiment from a school official here in Hamilton County."

    Wednesday afternoon, Hamilton County Superintendent Bryan Johnson announced that Hensley had been put on leave.

    "We have reviewed the video content," Johnson said in a statement. "We find the comments about young women in this video inexcusable, as the sentiments expressed do not align with the values of Hamilton County Schools. The situation is under investigation, and this employee has been placed on administrative leave effective immediately."

    What was the relationship between Prohibition and Women's Suffrage in US history?



    Many American women were frustrated with male drunkenness. When their husbands or prospective husbands were drunk, they couldn’t work to support a family, and at worst they became abusive. So women were a very large part of the Prohibition movement.
    It didn’t take a lot of imagination to come up with the idea that a way to fight drunkenness was to ban alcohol, or at least put strict limits on it. And that required passing laws. And influencing the laws required being able to vote. So plenty of women figured out that if they wanted to get alcohol banned, an obvious route to that was to get the right to vote.
    To put it another way, for much of history, women who lived in democracies didn’t see any great need to vote because they believed their husbands represented their interests at the voting booth. If something would improve her family’s financial condition, for example, her husband would be just as much for it as she would be. If something threatened her, her husband would be just as anxious to protect her as she would be to protect herself. So, for the most part, she didn’t need to vote as long as her husband could vote. They would usually have voted the same anyway. Not always, of course, but often enough that it wasn’t a big deal. It wasn’t worth fighting over.
    But with prohibition, suddenly wives found themselves on the opposite side of the political fence from their husbands. The husbands wanted easy access to alcohol; the wives wanted them to sober up.

    The second directly led to the first.
    When women obtained the vote, the first issue they addressed was the production and sale of alcohol. The “Temperance Leagues” were well organized and politically powerful. Most members of congress and local legislators were told straight out that the Leagues had tremendous grass roots power and could turn most of the women and some of the men against them in a contested election. Both parties ran on pro-temperance platforms as a result.

    Women were a key component in the coalition supporting Prohibition. The husband who squandered pay on liquor, then ignored or abused their family was good reason to favor limiting their access to booze. Prohibition and the Women’s Movement drew organizational strength from each other.

    To a large degree, the two were intertwined. Many suffragists were prohibitionists and saw alcohol, and, by extension, saloons as the biggest threat to the well being of women and families.

    Prohibition helped to open the eyes toward many of the challenges our country was facing. Women had been actively involved in govt long before their gaining the right to vote. Although prohibition was an added benefit for women gaining the right to vote, I feel their assistance in helping African-Americans gain the right to vote was more influential. The common racist belief of the day of the un-educated black man being able to gain the right to vote positioned women to get the attention to their rights bringing them more in alignment to equality with white men. They could make the argument that their husbands would allow the black man to vote yet white women not being equal in the same rights. And it was women like Susan B Anthony who fought so hard for the black right to vote. This helped them stair step to equality helping the suffragist movement

    Yes, they got the Vote, men coming back from Europe couldn't have a drink. Fortunately the women fired up the Bootleggers, the Rum Runners, the Kennedy's, the Mob, Gambling, Prostitution, Las Vegas and a whole new sub culture. So, nice work gals.

    Men wouldn’t let the women vote,
    so the women waited till the men
    were all over in Europe fighting WW1,
    then they passed prohibition so
    men couldn’t drink. (?)

    Funny, because history is the exact opposite. The Progressives were the ones wanting to create laws aimed at limiting the ability of immigrants, minorities, and women to equally compete in the workplace. Minimum wages, for example, were designed specifically to favor the hiring of white men over women, immigrants, and blacks, all of who faced a society that had a heavy preference for employing native born men. The one thing they had to negotiate with was their willingness to be paid less or work longer. As such their labor was becoming more and more common as businesses hired them. So minimum wages were concocted as a way to get around the way that free markets directed capital towards blacks, women, and immigrants by arbitrarily making labor more expensive and providing a monetary incentive to hire based on social prejudice- if you have to pay someone more money you might as well hire white native born men.

    And that is but one way the Progressives were the exact opposite of your claim. You can read about this in more detail here with this paper by historian Dr. Thomas C. Leonard of Princeton. https://www.princeton.edu/~tleonard/...ospectives.pdf

    The really deep irony is that the Progressives were anti-immigrant and anti-women. In other words, in all your fearmongering about immigrants and whining about "woemen" you reveal yourself to align naturally with the Progressives of the Progressive Era, not to mention their unconstitutional big government solutions.

    School: Some girls wore shorts too short so now all shorts including athletic shorts are banned.
    Coach: Sorry guys, thanks to the girls you can't wear athletic shorts, "they pretty much ruin everything" [in joking manner - see video]
    Girls: OMG. Coach is misogynist. Suspend him.
    School: Coach, you're suspended immediately! - [hence confirming what the coach joked about]

    He said nothing negative about about anybody specifically.

    The goalposts move constantly, so there is no way a rational and reasonable person can keep track of them, just like no rational person can possibly know and comply with every rule, law, fatwa, edict, mandate, ordinance, rule and statute on the government's books.

    Correct me if I was wrong but didnt he say girls pretty much ruin everything? I bet you would be singing a diff tune had a black AD had said white boys pretty much ruin everything.

    Exactly, he wouldnt have been complaining that this person who slighted his white male students was suspended.

    Btw I read another article on USAtoday about the story and it seems like it was a bad joke on his part. He didnt really mean it and as it turns out, there is a good number of students and parents who want him back. Lucky for him cos this looked like an easy firing
