A Freeper pat on the back to Superintendent Mike Harper for having the guts to tell the truth:
" . . . one of the greatest gifts we give to immigrants and their families is a free public education, and it shows extraordinarily poor judgment for those who have received that gift to walk out on it."

If you think missing the prom is bad, you should have seen what they did to the pro America students waving the US flag.....

Congratulations to Superintendant Harper. This will be a good lesson in taking responsibility for ones actions.

I am shocked! Congrats to the Supt. and district for standing up. Now if they could only order water cannons for any protesters who show up at prom...
If anybody later posts an e-mail address, I'll also pass along my thanks.

Great quote from Superintendent Harper...
It should be quoted by ALL of the Superintendents and Principals in the nation.
Oh...and how classy of the students to protest AT the prom...so they can attempt to ruin the dance for the rest of the school.

Excellent!
If they didn't realize it already, these students have learned that actions have consequences.

Since they won't be able to get back we won't have to finance their "education" any more.

"We shouldn't get suspended—and especially not from prom—just because he thinks we shouldn't protest over something we believe is right," Aracely said.
You are learning a valuable lesson, not often taught in public school, called "Actions have consequences".

"We shouldn't get suspended—and especially not from prom—just because he thinks we shouldn't protest over something we believe is right," Aracely said.Hmm. I guess it wasn't as important as you think, if it wasn't important enough for you to give up your prom. If the thing that you were protesting over is such a strong belief of yours, you should be more than ready to say "adios" to the prom.

Compare and contrast; who would you prefer to be in charge of your kids? (Man vs. mouse)

The district suspended Aracely Garcia, even though her mother excused her from school for the demonstration/ Along with the suspensions the parents should be fined for what it costs to educate their little darlings for one day. Let the parents demonstrate some financial responsibilities for their children's demonstration
