HAMILTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A teen's spirit week stunt has landed him in hot water.
Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School Senior Dan Depaolis, dressed in medieval garb, rode a horse into the school's parking lot as part of spirit week.
What he, and his parents, thought was a good-natured stunt, the school deemed dangerous. Depaolis was suspended from school for two days.
The vice principal allegedly suspended the 17-year-old even after the boys father explained that the horse was brought in on a trailer and that no one was in danger.
The father tells FOX25 the school compared the stunt to bringing a loaded firearm to school and that he and his wife were shocked to hear about the suspension, saying that the 1100-pound horse, named Pierre, would never hurt a fly.
The school would not comment, saying that they do not talk about any aspect of a student discipline.
The family says they plan to contest the suspension.
She was still asleep at the time, couldn’t think of anything “bad” she would want to do, and decided that if there were “no consequences”, then nobody would actually die, so it would be fun to try to commit the perfect murder spree if nobody got hurt by it.
Which is funny, because on Bones last week the forensic wiz was bragging about how she could get away with murder if she wanted, and frankly I would love to see if I could outwit the smartest minds in the world — if nobody got hurt. So it made perfect sense to me.
Gratuitous "Lady Godiva" by John Collier post.
That was a “trick” question, the answer they were looking for was “blow up the school, kill teachers,students etc.”
Maybe they would weed out some of those pesky,
“I’d vote republican if I could get away with it”
voters.
The horse’s joints look a little peculiar, as if the artist didn’t have an actual horse nearby. Maybe it wasn’t Spirit Week at his school.
How lame. I was expecting to read that he galloped up and down the hallways. Those so-called educators are little more than worms; manure-eating worms.
IT was “spirit week” so the kid did something positive for “school spirit”.
The school is obviously run by a bunch of A-holes.
They need to learn that having a little fun is not such a bad thing.
In our school, during Homecoming week one of the “theme days” is “Hick Day” where the kids dress as farmers and such. (Which is kind of funny because a good number of then ARE! LOL) Any-who: Parked in the parking lot on hick day you will always find a row of farm tractors that the kids drove to school.
It’s called having fun. That is why the liberal scumbags don’t like it.
Oh yes, I noticed that immediately. Yep.
Which still means that the horse is smarter than the children, because they haven’t learned how not to piss off a horse.
The original point, though, was the issue of whether horses are dumb. Have you ever owned a horse?
Want to hear about the historical errors in the harnessing?
So was I.
The horse had a thirty round magazine, bayonet lug, and a folding stock, I just know it!
Godiva couple of minutes alone with her?
OH yeah thanks for reminding me. :)
Those so-called educators are little more than worms; manure-eating worms.Worms contribute to the biosphere. Manure-eating worms contribute to the global ecology.
Those so-called educators don't contribute anything to anyone. They are parasites sucking it up at the taxpayer trough.
Please take back your slander against manure-eating worms.
The school would not comment, saying that they do not talk about any aspect of a student discipline.
So much for accountability and transparency in government.
It is high time to abolish government schoolsThat dump an army of shiftless vagabonds on the the welfare system. (But it would be worth it!)
“Please take back your slander against manure-eating worms.”
I’m sorry. It was a rash thing to say. :-(
