Well you see this isn't fair. If everybody's folks don't scream out then somebody's feelings might get hurt at the graduation which would be construed as some type of bullying behavior. Can't have bullies. I hope she doesn't go on facebook and post pictures of her daughters graduation as that would probably get her twenty years in jail.
Then next year everyone boycott the school's graduation ceremony. You don't need a ceremony to graduate. If the school wishes to be so anal then give them a VERY quiet and empty graduation. Parents would be happy to not have to buy graduation supplies.
Zero Tolerance has been taken to the extreme, and leads to ridiculous outcomes like these:
[quote] #1 At one public school down in Texas, a 12-year-old girl named Sarah Bustamantes was recently arrested for spraying herself with perfume.
#2 A 13-year-old student at a school in Albuquerque, New Mexico was recently arrested by police for burping in class.
#3 Another student down in Albuquerque was forced to strip down to his underwear while five adults watched because he had $200 in his pocket. The student was never formally charged with doing anything wrong.
#4 A security guard at one school in California broke the arm of a 16-year-old girl because she left some crumbs on the floor after cleaning up some cake that she had spilled.
#5 One teenage couple down in Houston poured milk on each other during a squabble while they were breaking up. Instead of being sent to see the principal, they were arrested and sent to court/]
Parents demanded zero-tolerance policies.
People need to think about what they're doing and the possible reprecussions before they demand stupid rules.
Guess I'll be arrested next come next Friday. My oldest is graduating and I have one hell of a cab call whistle.
