Our Horrible Children
How to get your high-school diploma withheld? Just raise your fist as you walk across the stage apparently. "Where do you draw the line between someone raising their hand, doing a high five, doing a cartwheel or hugging someone." Hear that? Hugging someone can get your diploma withheld. The kids family and friends were also escorted out of the building because they cheered while he walked across the stage. I smell a lawsuit.How to get a 2nd grader suspended? Have him point a chicken finger at another kid and say 'bang'. "There are gun rules. But this wasn't a gun. It was a chicken finger, something that you eat." Yes, but where do you draw the line betwen pointing the chicken finger and making the chicken finger do cartwheels on your table, or hugging the chicken finger. We just won't tolerate that kind of behavior.
Lindsay Brown, the honor student who was banned from her graduation because of a kitchen knife in her car - lost her last-minute appeal in federal court. The rest of her class participated in the ceremony despite their threats to boycott if she wasn't allowed. Chicken shits.
