Semen-contaminated flutes might have been given to children, California school officials warn (archive)

Several school districts in Southern California warned parents this weekend that flutes and recorders given to children through a nonprofit music program may have been contaminated with bodily fluids. At least one district specified that those fluids could have been semen.

Local, state and federal agencies were investigating a male music teacher who visited schools in Southern California through a program called Flutes Across the World, according to updates from the Saugus Union School District, which serves the Santa Clarita area.

“The performer distributes a flutelike musical instrument made of PVC pipe or bamboo to students during a music lesson, and the allegation is that he contaminated some of these instruments with semen,” Saugus Union Superintendent Joan Lucid said in an email to parents on Saturday. “These allegations are deeply concerning, and I realize they raise many questions.”

The California Department of Justice and the U.S. Postal Service were among the agencies investigating the program, the district said. Lucid said children were never alone with the music specialist, who was not a district employee.

'Evie' now lives in fear in Jakarta slum - Obama's nanny

President Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Americans entering Cuba, until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. Some very bad things happened in Cuba. Very bad things. They did some bad things in Cuba. Things that made our diplomats very sick. I guarantee you there's a problem. I can't guarantee you'll be safe. If you go there, you might not be safe. I have friends that are Cubans. They are great people -- but they know we have a problem. We must be vigilant!

Tom Price resigned. I told him he could resign, or be FIRED! Because I'm here to drain the swamp, and he's a big, big part of it. I'm not happy about the way he RIPPED OFF my taxpayers! I'm not happy, OK? He's a very good man, a fine man. But he's a big, big part of the swamp, which is unacceptable. Screw him. Screw him like a bitch.

Chuwi Announces The LapBook Air: For Preorder Now

Don't sue!

Here we are, two days after The Morgatory Blizzander took exception to one of my submissions that was approved by another ed. Strange, because TMB is not even an ed, he is only a coder, from what I understand, so how could his objection overrule the decision of an editor? The result, as documented in my last journal, is that my submission has been deep sixed, marked as hidden, so that it is not in the queue, not in the pre-queue, not anywhere! I request, respectfully, that the eds cease this act of censorship. TMB's objections are no more valid than mine, and since I thought this particular article important enough to be a submission to SoylentNews, TMB's objections are noted, but now I think he may actually be a Nazi. Which, as a Native American, seems strange. But I do remember a scene in the movie "Under the Volcano", starring Albert Finney, where a Metis riding on a bus, and wearing a National Socialist Party Pin, harasses a full-blood Native American Mexican. And then it hit me! Not about racial purity at all, since the half-breeds could feel superior to the full bloods, as long as they were not of the "right" blood. TMB is a mongrel. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I am one, too! But to object to an investigative piece looking into the alt-right, because he is afraid, and I repeat, AFRAID, that I am calling him a Nazi? Methinks the Buzzard protests too much. Let my submission go, eds! Let it go.

It's been in read-only mode for 2 days now and lots of comments are truncated. Makes me think they had a serious database problem they haven't been able to recover from. Anyone know what's going on?

My National Security Council, who I love, turned 70 years old today! Terrific age! Terrific guys! Love the advice, very important right now. Great advice about Rocket Man and #NoKo!
