The principal makes an arbitrary decision based on very little research and gets slammed for it. Hot dog!!
Earning a grade point average above 4.0?
That’s just 110% wrong!
I think what she means is that next year, everyone will be wearing white.
WHAT?!? PC is going to be the death of us all.
Diane, you over-educated but still ignorant tw@t!
God forbid we publically recognize the students that went above and beyond. Doing so would only make the dregs and ne’er do wells loathe themselves even more.
Well then, Diane Honey, you should just be called TEACHER DIANE instead of PRINCIPAL DIANE!! You EARNED the PRINCIPAL TITLE and yet you DENY the Title of VALEDICTORIAN and SALUTATORIAN to others who EARNED those TITLES.
TEACHER DIANE......how does that feel??
I know, why do otherwise intelligent people talk this way? They all sound like that guy, Professor Irwin Corey? mocking edu-bable. If they think this sounds coherent maybe they are stupid.
Did I read that right? Taking a “Global approach” to a HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION?
I may puke.
We use to have the girls wear white and the boys wore green.
Because of lawsuits and threats of them (not at our school, but around the country) we changed it so that everyone wears green now.
"All citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check."
BINGO! Check please.
If everyone is singled out for honor, then no one is really honored.
The ones who really tried are already getting their public acknowledgement, it’s called THE GRADUATION CEREMONY.
If you strive to achieve and do well, be warned you will be punished. How dare you think you can do better than anyone else!
But if they've traditionally had the right to expect this special acknowledgement and she proposes to take it away, isn't she "diminishing the accomplishment and hard work" of THESE grads? So, what is she saying? That it's okay to diminish people's accomplishments, as long as those people are the ones who've accomplished the most? Do we want this twit teaching the next generation to think?
Translation (from PC Commie speak):
You won the battle this time, but I'm going to win the war...
What a trucking itch. ( yes it rymes...)
Are these the same morons who promote athletic awards (most yards rushed, etc.) and allow the stupidity of Homecoming (students more popular than others)?
They have no problem recognizing achievements in other areas (and I use that term loosely re: Homecoming). It's that they don't like achievements related to intelligences.
"Yeah," Lashitsky continued, "Jorge and Javon worked just as hard to get their 1.4 GPA as them's who got a 4.0 GPA. Therefore, they should have the same right to wear the white robes, because they worked hard. Besides, white is a racist color, so nobody should be wearing that. We don't want nobody to feeeeeeel like they be inferior, or nothing. Everyone should be able to feeeeeel that they done did what they could. Besides, even if they didn't, and they were lazy, no good crackheads, they deserve the same as those whitey smart asses who think they be so smart.
Lashinsky said she was initially told the white-robe tradition was only three years old, not seven as she later learned. Durango High adopted white graduation robes seven years ago when the school stopped naming a valedictorian and salutatorian for each graduating class.
"That makes it a much bigger issue," Lashinsky said. "Had I known, I would have dug deeper into the history, and my initial decision may have turned out differently."
Lashitsky prattled on, "So if I'd just known enough to pull my head out of my ass and actually learn about the school that I am in charge of, I wouldn't have done this quite the way I did. Next year, things am gonna change, believe me, history or no history. I'm in charge here and nobody's gonna diss me by not doin' what I say."
