It's time for Donkey of the Day. I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did.

I'm not making these people do these things. I'm called Donkey of the Day and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Solomon, who got the Donkey of the Day today? Well, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, February 13th, Jess Hilarious' born day! Goes to a principal at Washington Elementary School named Nina Denton. Now, Nina has been put on a leave of absence, and rightfully so, because humans just be human, man. There is no doubt in my mind God looks at us sometimes as defective product. Because I just don't understand why folks be doing what they doing.

Now, Nina is the principal. The principal. Not a teacher. Not a guidance counselor. The principal of the whole damn school. The person with the highest authority in the whole damn school. And she was pretending to shoot kids and announcing they were dead during an active shooter lockdown drill. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to KTLA 5 for the report, please. Children and parents upset by what the school principal did during a lockdown drill. She proceeded to walk around the campus and pretend to shoot people she saw

using finger movements and banging on the window. From what I heard, one of the students was told, boom, you're dead. Children as young as four years old witnessed the ordeal, including Jennifer Chavez's first grade son. The one shocking, surprising thing he said as a six-year-old was, I'm just really glad none of my friends died. Now the principal at the school, Dr. Nina Denson, has been put on leave. The superintendent confirmed to KTLA that the drill did happen yesterday. And then staff members say the principal made an announcement that seven children were dead.

Oh my God, can you imagine the trauma these children potentially could go through of just thinking oh my god my friend was killed or i was shot and told i died it was very upsetting my god in an era when america is averaging like two mass shootings a day dr nina dinson thought this was a good idea uh i just you know try to hear things from both sides at certain points in my life uh and it's la so maybe nina denson is a method actor maybe she needs to get all the way in character even though it's just a lockdown drill maybe i don't know uh maybe she had her own personal 2b movie going on in her head so you know in a lot of 2b movies they can't afford prop guns so she was using her fingers

like beyonce does when she's in her country zone like people you know i just don't understand how brains work anymore okay you're the principal of a school nina if you had teachers in your school doing lesson plans in this way you would fire them all i repeat if you had teachers in your school doing lesson plans in this way you would fire them all imagine a chemistry teacher playing old jay-z records to teach kids how to mix chemicals. Okay, kids, when you are manually mixing flakes with the soda, what do you get? When Jeezy consumes drinks and smokes, what concentrated chemical does he mix with his arm and hammer? That just wouldn't work. That just wouldn't work.

It wouldn't work. No. That's like, to me, a teacher showing Stukiana OnlyFans page to teach them sex aid. Oh, okay. I like that. That's like referencing Kanye West to write up lesson plans around the Holocaust.

That's like you and Shannon Shaw teaching a speech class. What's your list? That was a good one. That was a good one. I like that one. What else you got, Jack? That's like Webby.

That's like Webby teaching kids how to be a health care professional. Oh, now that's a good one. Because remember when Webby was on Breakfast Club back in the day, and then we asked how he felt about health care in America? I don't really think nobody care, man. That's how the Obamacare works. Yes, because I asked him, what do you think about Obamacare works yes because i asked him what do you think about obamacare and he said that was his answer i don't think nobody i don't i don't really think nobody

care mike that's how the obamacare works honestly a fantastic answer because none of these elected officials truly care the moral of the story is you can save yourself a lot of embarrassment by simply thinking before you act. Is this too hard a concept for humans to grasp in 2024? Think before you act. Think twice before you speak. And if that's too difficult, then maybe, just maybe, the human experiment is a wrap. And it's time to let AI take over. At this rate, they're smarter than us anyway, so we really don't have a choice.

Please give Nina Denston the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones. You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. I think me and Shannon Sharp Would make a great Teachers for speech classes Say it again

You think y'all make a good Teachers for speech classes We should fake Hold on Students would really love our speech class We get paid to talk Yeah I understand not to spit on everybody There be some stinky kids leaving that kind of chat

Stinky kids you stupid Oh man What I have a question Oh my god When y'all did fire drills and drills at the school nobody ever took it serious right y'all just ran out the class nobody ever cared we was playing we was playing everything right yeah so now the principal makes it like i don't want to say like a game but like a game so

the kids really take it serious so they understand that if there's an active shooter what i'll tell you the problem with that the problem with that is that because nobody takes a five drill series everybody but now if you if you actually make it seem like there is an active shooter now the kids know what to look for what to see but here's the problem with that especially with it going on so much you're playing right you're playing and you're not bringing the kids in on the joke so your joke makes the trauma real because you're joking but to these kids it's real trauma because these kids really think there's an active shooter these kids really think their friends died you can't just remove that trauma from the kids once they find out it's not it was fake with a pointy finger gun it don't matter you told these kids that they were their friends were dead told me so somebody told you that somebody you love was dead right now and

let you hold on to that for 15 20 minutes that trauma that you would experience in that 15 20 minutes wouldn't be real and you think it's just gonna automatically go away and disappear after they tell you it's fake you'll be you'll be relieved but you still feel that trauma hey drill guys this is a drill yeah this is a drill we know drama is real the drill no he didn't hold on what are you saying now didn't they say it was a drill i get what drill means fake yes but I don't think These kids were in on it Cause he told the kids That they're friends with dad And they believed it

From the pointy finger gun Pow you're dead Pow you're dead Pow you're dead And then a little boy did say I'm just glad that none of my friends died Yeah cause they were really dead Yeah but

So what to his point He was saying That the fire alarm Like They didn't really die Like they're not really on die Like they're not really on They know they're not really on fire So we used to like

If this would have been a real A situation Seven kids would have died Yeah That's why you gotta take it serious Cause the fire drill I thought the kids weren't in on it I thought the kids weren't in on it

Maybe I'm confused here That's why I thought They had to be Did they When the teacher said pow Did they like Like did they You know

Do a fake A fake Yeah Cause you can pew pew I'm just saying During the drill When the teacher said pow, did they like, uh. Like, did they, you know, do a fake. people take them serious is to not tell them that it's a drill okay so when you hit a fire drill when you're in school nobody ever takes it serious ah fire drill all right hey what i just like nobody takes it serious they don't take it serious because they're being told because they usually know it's a fire drill like 11 25 today fire drill that's what i'm saying if you don't tell people it's a fire drill you don't tell them it's an active shooter drill that's the only way to make them take it serious yeah because that would that would actually be fun if it's a drill, that's the only way to make them take it serious. That would actually be fun if it's a drill and you know

that the principal is going to be wondering why. The only drill that's fun is a tip drill, bro. Oh my god. Who would you want to see do a tip drill? Your lips dry as hell. I know, man. What the hell going on? I need some more water. As much as I spit? That's what I'm saying. I don't know. People with lisp,

are they allowed to have dry lips? Not at all. Not as much as lisp. All right. Well, that is the donkey of the day.
