Saving the Banana Boys
by: Deborah Lambert, June 03, 2008
Some creative high-school seniors at Zion-Benton High school in Waukegan, Illinois recently thought up what they believed to be the perfect harmless prank. To inject some comic relief into the school day, one of them dressed up as a gorilla and chased his pals, dressed as giant bananas, through the school and out the back door.
Maybe they should have kept going.
The following day, they were all suspended, along with threats of further punishment that included being barred from attending their senior promand kept off the stage during graduation.
The Waukegan News Sun reported that according to school superintendent Deborah Clarke, this was all done in accordance with school policies for serious pranks.
The wayward seniors finally served out their suspension, but not before...

If that’s a “serious prank” I’d like to know what is a “gravely serious” prank....
Saying a prayer out loud in school.
I see this as evidence that values have disintegrated to the point that some people don’t know what constitutes a serious offense, not having a clue as to what values are in the first place.
"Keep repeating: It's only a prank! It's only a prank! It's only a prank!"
I don't think a male administrator would have been so harsh. Female administrators often seem to be much more politically correct in their actions.
Running on the gym floor in street shoes.
When I was a sophomore in high school, the brother of one of my friends (along with a pal of his) rode his motorcycle through the halls of the school at about 60 mph. Although both boys were wearing helmets, everyone figured out quickly who had done it. (Process of elimination; who is stupid enough, and reckless enough, to try this?) The driver was arressted and taken to jail (released into the custody of his parents, but he did eventually have to go to court over it).
The offense was having a sense of humor, and a smidgen of creativity. Government schools exist to stamp out such tendencies.
Funny, the Transgendered Club and the Junior Jihadists were not bothered.
I can't see how dressing up and running through the school can even remotely be called a serious prank. My guess us that the school wanted to discourage someone in next year's class from one-upping this group. But these punitive measures were WAY out of proportion to the stunt.
[... I don’t think a male administrator would have been

(Some) females will punish males at any cost. If this
prank were pulled by female students, all would have
laughed and had a wonderful time.
[... Government schools exist to stamp out such tendencies...]
Government schools exist to dehumanize, defame and
denegrate male students; unless of course that male
student happens to be gay, black, hispanic asian,
muslim or atheist.
Did I leave anyone out?
I just sent the following to CampusReporterOnline...
I’m sick of women who think their job in life is to ridicule,
dehumanize, defame and embarass men at any cost.
If this prank were pulled by female students, all would have
laughed and had a wonderful time. Where do women get
the idea that it’s OK to treat men worse than dogs? Then
woh to the man who protests.
I am married to a wonderful man and together we have a
son and a daughter. Both are equally precious.
American women have become mean, haughty, arrogant bullies.
I hope the feminists are proud of their work.

Methinks it should become the new class song.
If they had put condoms on the bananas, it would have been OK. | |
If they had put a burka on the gorilla it would have been OK |
