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.

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.
I’m very, very saddened by what’s been happening in the NBA and NFL. A few disloyal players -- Colin Kaepernick and Steph Curry are the worst -- have been disrespecting my Great American Flag (and Country). They refuse to stand for my national anthem. I'll tell you, if a player wants the privilege of making millions of dollars in the NFL or other leagues, he or she should not be allowed to disrespect our heritage that way. That’s a total disrespect of our heritage. That’s a total disrespect of everything that we stand for. Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects my flag, to say, "Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He’s fired. He’s FIRED! Find something else to do!" You know, some owner is going to do that. He’s going to say, "That guy that disrespects the flag, he’s fired." And that owner, they don’t know it, but I'll tell you, they’ll be the second most popular person in this country. When people like yourselves turn on television and you see those people taking the knee when they are playing my great national anthem -- the only thing you could do better is, if you see it, even it's one player, leave the stadium. I guarantee things will stop. NFL should change policy! Roger Goodell of NFL put out a statement trying to justify the total disrespect certain players show to our country. Tell them to stand! Believe me, drugs are a very, very big factor in what you're watching on television at night. In the sports and the reality TV. Senator Strange (from Alabama) and I are unified by the same great American values. We're proud of our country. I consulted with my generals and military experts. General John Kelly (COS) totally agrees with my stance on the NFL and its players disrespecting FLAG, ANTHEM, COUNTRY. #FakeNews .@CNN said he opposes. Total lie!
There's been a tremendous backlash against the NFL. Many people booed the players who kneeled yesterday (which was a small percentage of total). These are fans who demand respect for my Flag! If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting my Flag & Country, you will see change take place fast. Fire or suspend! NFL attendance and ratings are WAY DOWN. Boring games yes, but many stay away because they love our country. League should back U.S. The NFL ratings are down massively. Now the number 1 reason happens to be they like watching what’s happening with yours truly. They like what’s happening. You used to see these tackles and it was incredible to watch. Now tackle -- head-on-head tackle -- 15-yard penalty. Because you know today if you hit too hard: 15 yards! Throw him out of the game! They’re ruining the game! That’s what they want to do. They want to hit. They want to hit! These new, and very much softer, NFL rules are hurting the game. "Uh oh, got a little ding on the head? No, no, you can’t play for the rest of the season." We're going soft, just like the NFL, we're going soft. The issue of kneeling has nothing to do with race. It is about respect for my Country, Flag and National Anthem. NFL must respect this! The people who will suffer the most as a result of this softness and disloyalty are inner city players and fans. There is no compassion in tolerating this conduct. It's an attack on the poor and will never be accepted in a Trump administration, ever, ever.
Time to bring back the United States Football League and my New Jersey Generals, probably the best team in football, ever. With @DougFlutie and @HerschelWalker.
So proud of NASCAR and its supporters and fans. They won't put up with disrespecting our Country or my Flag - they said it loud and clear! #StandForMyAnthem
