Even classic high school pranks aren't safe from the unthinking school administrators anymore. Cheerleaders receive detention for toilet papering some football players houses and cars. Couple of interesting things about this case. First, the 'hazing' (yes, thats what they are calling it) was done after school hours and off school property - I wonder why the school thinks it has jurisdiction over this. Second is that the cheerleaders were given a Saturday detention and were banned from the next two athletic events they were supposed to perform at.

Saturday detention? Anybody heard of this before? I'm supposed to go to school on a non-school day to sit in detention for something I did after school hours off of school property. You give me that juris-my-diction crap, you can shove it up your ass. - The Matrix

But it gets even better. The football team's head coach, Biz Keeny, said rolling was all right in the past but in today's world it could get out of hand. Just imagine, he said, an angry parent coming out of a house with a shotgun. Ah yes, crack down on those pesky kids in case one of the parents decides to go on a killin' spree. And, seeing as the parents in this case would be parents of football players, and the football coach is the one coming up with this bright idea ... well, it makes me wonder if he doesn't know a little something more about these parents than he's letting on.
