$2 Million Settlement Reached In ‘Chubby Bunny’ Case

Jeepers, it’s interesting to know how many times I risked life and limb to make people laugh. For a while, we played this game after just about every halftime at ComedySportz-Chapel Hill.

I think it’s important to know that the fact that the child was playing a food-based game was not the most disturbing thing about the article. It’s that the teacher was gone from the classroom long enough for this to happen (or, for the game to begin, for that matter). Schools that leave children, even high achievers or “good, responsible kids,” unsupervised have got a serious liability problem, and $2 million would not even come close to placating me if I lost a child due to a school’s negligence.

The teacher is now a principal. Part of me twinges a little bit, but I will bet this guy will be extraordinarily vigilant in every aspect of his professional life from here on in.
