Sensitivity courses? I can't believe they actually have such things. What a bunch of crap!
They're basically attempting to force her to change who she is. That's her decision, and no amount of classes is going to change that. And if she does make the decision to change, then she can damn well do it without some class. |

For my grad ceremonies (way, way back) a couple of guys showed up in their Cadet dress uniforms. I wonder what that anal bitch would have done if THAT had happened...

Well, if her intention was to limit what students wore, she should have been very specific about what was and was not allowed. For instance, did she specify no jackets for the boys? I'm sure we'll hear more.
But, wait wait wait, this school is called "academy of fine arts"? In my experience, the kind of kids who go to an "academy of fine arts" are going to have a tendency to be on the unconventional side when they have a chance to dress up. Oh, and any school administrator who told my son he looked like a pimp would never wake up in the morning again without regretting she or he said it. |

I don't think anyone would argue these days that there has to be some sort of rules for ceremonies like this. I recall a few years back a High School student here in Houston who upon receiving his diploma and giving the Principal a handshake deposted a used condom in her hand. As I recall she somehow rescinded him graduating and expelled him. I recall his parents complaining that he was only doing a childish prank and should not have been punished. With parents like that no wonder he did what he did.
But the authorities can go to far. We also had an episode at a HS for performing arts here in Houston where the principal had laid down the rules prior to graduation. No funny stuff on stage, period. Somewhere in the middle of the graduation ceremony a girl whose major was ballet did a pirrouette and the principal shut down the graduation leaving a hundred kids with no ceremony. At my own kids high school graduation a few years back someone in the graduate seating area let loose of 2 ducks who wandered out into the open while the principal was speaking. Always wondered how they kept them quiet under their robes as they marched in. When I graduated HS in 1974, I told the teacher in charge of the name list to please put "Esquire" after my name. She laughed and said, "yea, right!" Still, from what I see in the pictures, the kids didn't look to wild in those outfits, they could have been a whole lot worse. |

Yeah, they could have been dressed for the prom!
In my high school, if you had that much flesh exposed, you either had to wear your coat, or go home. (Nifty belly dancer's outfit though, wonder if she knows what it's for) Dags

From today's Fark comes this one. Tim Mains is the principal that shows how it's done: he told the math students that if they improved, they could duck tape him to the wall. And so they did.

The boy doesn't have nearly enough flashy gold jewelry to be a pimp.

I wonder what type of tape DUCK tape is, does it quack? or have feathers? i've never heard of DUCK tape.
I've heard of DUCT tape though. They should have used Gaffers tape much stronger, and stickeyer. |

I think this line's mostly filler.

Duck Tape
Duck Tape is a brand of duct tape. Seems to leave less residue than other brands.
Doesn't mean that it wasn't a typo, though.

Duck tape is actually the right term, and that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Mr. Mains didn't want no residue.
