Kinkaid Principal and Headmaster asked to resign over canceled Pep Rally

Iverson :grin:

 

Iverson.

Hey, someone was going to do it anyway.

EDIT: told you so.

 

As for the letter, if moms are going to sit down and write a FIVE PAGE letter and mail it out, then they got more issues (i.e. mental) at hand than a cancelled pep rally.

 

"Not an IB class or a Kaplan SAT Prep test, like I go out there and study every lecture note and vocabulary term like it's my whole Dartmouth application, we talkin' bout pep rallies."

Yeah, this is why yankees invented boarding schools. Underage drug use and group sex in the Massachuesetts countryside vs. overbearing parents. What the heck kind of country club hayseed spends $10/20 grand a year only to b**** about pep rallies? Would they like more shop and home ec classes too? Maybe an HCC or San Jac booth on college night?

 

Just wondering, what's your name?

 

Pimphand.

 

conservatives attacking the liberals. And round and round and round it goes, it won't ever stop, everybody knows.

 

Iverson.

 

Isn't that pretty much what this group is trying to do themselves?

 

He can't give rep points. He's not a contributing member.

 

hey i graduated from Kinkaid....Class of 08. I really don't get what all is going on and why their making such a big deal out of a canceled pep rally.

 

What was the school's reason for canceling the pep rally?

 

As a member of the school right now:

The principle OK'd the pep rally in the beginning of the week, including the skit in question. However, a little bit before the pep rally, a few students and maybe a teacher or two (Nobody knows who) apparently made a strong enough case against the pep rally for the principle to feel strongly enough to cancel it. The skit was supposed to be about a 'gay' kid, and all the football players dressed up as women. Apparently, the principle thought it was offensive to women. He acted on what he thought was best to the community.

Once he realized the fiasco he had created, the principle came to all the advisories and apologized personally. This was not the headmaster's decision. I don't understand why the parents are mad at him over the pep rally. He himself has stated he does not agree with the principle's decision to cancel the pep rally. Obviously the problem is more deep-rooted as some feel the school is putting pressure on those that are not minorities by promoting 'too much diversity' (Some even want clubs like Chinese Club, Greek Club shut down).

We've been having optional meetings after school where a LOT of students have showed up and voiced their opinions about the whole situation. Everything should be under control about now if this were a different school, but this is Kinkaid, and it won't blow over until 'something gets done'.

 

Iverson.

 

Stupid principal. Doesn't he know that high school determines who you are and what you do in life.

 

I thought a pep rally was when the football players got in front of the school and gave speeches like "We're playin' good but we can play gooder if ya'll come out and support us." What is this ***** about a sketch about a gay kid? Also, nobody who organizes a pep rally has any business trying to write a sketch or a comedy routine.

The funniest people in school are the ones who sit in the back of the pep rally and do the snarky dismissive hand wank every time a football player or a cheerleader speaks: <a href="http://tinypic.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i45.tinypic.com/4ucead.gif" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a>

The principal and headmaster should have their asses kissed for sparing everybody from what was most likely a horribly unfunny "sketch."
