Someone’s feelings are hurt. Probably ONE person.
So therefor the entire school must change to conform to that one person’s feeeeelings.
I would love to be an administrator who receives the ever anonymous complaint from that 'one parent' or the even more ambiguous 'people'.
My standard response would always be;
"Thank you for coming to see me with your concerns. I have spoken with my staff and your concerns have been documented and given consideration. At this time we would suggest that you go out to your peers in the community and gather signatures from like minded people. When the total amount of signatures you gather represent at least 51% of people affected by any decision we make....then we will give your suggestions a second look and may actually acquiesce to your demands. Until then, have a nice day."
As for Franklin High...which is the next town over from me...I believe the students have to pay for their cap and gown attire and thus should have the lion's share of input on what they look like.
Whatever colors are decided on,how about a large bright colored “P” on the uniform of the selected individuals. They seem to be seeking personal recognition,& this would give them that.
