Normally, a story like this wouldn't catch my eye, but there is something about the sheer arrogance of that Principal's actions, as well as her 'non-apology-apology' about it. (buzzwords like 'Learning Expierience' and 'Teachable Moment'), that just stuck in my craw. It also makes me remember back to my own not-too-long-ago school years, when the socialist social-engineers such as this principal were already starting to pop up like pus-filled pimples in the Canadian public school system... That's when I first started hearing the idea of 'non-competitive sports' and 'participation ribbons'. UGH.

I'm willing to bet that this particular principal sees achievement trophies as élitist and offensive...

You can’t have visitors come to the school without seeing the proof that they were District Curling Champs in 1962 now. can you?

[MeganC]

How hateful.

Not sure I’m buying what Big Media is excreting here.

We had a school that did the same thing, but it was because they contained the name of their suddenly declared racist mascot.

These are the Advocate District High School COYOTES, wondering if they’re planning some changes.

Umm, this is what happens to them

You keep like the past 8-10 years, nobody cares who won a football game back in 1984.

I don’t see how this is any different than any other school

They could have offered them for sale or as raffle prizes to alumni.

People research what Plumber they are going to Hire, what Contractor they are going to Hire and what Doctor they choose to treat their Family, yet they fail to research the People who have the Responsibility of Teaching their Children and who have Custody of them for 40 Hours every week.

Judging by her non-apology message, she can’t write English very well, either. Maybe the French version is better?

I am certain the same has happened at my old school to sports trophies dating back 70+ years and likely the plaque I earned for a US Navy science fair award some 50 years ago as well. Quite frankly no one really cares after that much time. Those for whom some of these old trophies might have been significant may well be deceased, no longer live in the community or even are a distant memory for anyone. At an all school reunion I attended a few years ago, the cheer leading squad who won a state championship decades before lead a school cheer... kind of sad to see middle aged women trying to do their old cheer leading moves as if this state title was the most significant thing they had accomplished in their lives.

Obviously, none of those were participation trophies.

[CharlesWayneCT]

What do you do with decades of crappy plastic pieces?

i pulled the faceplates off ours, and kept that and threw out the silly trophies, but kept the wood bases because it was nice wood.

Storing these trophy things is a pain.

[Sans-Culotte]

Principal is probably a mannish dyke/trans type.

[US_MilitaryRules]

Better send Al Bundy to the school to teach them how important trophy’s are!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

“Dickinson ( the principal has been working with the school advisory council to discuss how to repair the harm done.”

How about get her butt away from the school to somewhere awful like Calgary for good.

[Deplorable American1776]

Amazing... arrogant bitch...

Toss out the past and embrace the socialist utopian collectivist future!
