How absolutely messed up is this? The principal of this school is an ignorant jackass. So is anybody else who signed on to this. Local police? Do you have fun jailing kids in costumes? Halloween’s going to be a blast!
Here’s what happened.
One kid put on a banana suit. The other kid put on a gorilla suit.
They ran across a football field during their school’s homecoming game.
School officials had them arrested for TRESPASSING.
The kids the night in jail.
They have now been suspended for two weeks.
For my overseas readers, suspension from high school can be a serious issue – it can keep you from getting into a good college, no matter what the cause. That’s because some college administrators apply rules as draconian as some high school administrators.
This happened at Flower Mound High School, near Fort Worth, Texas.
Proving that you don’t mess with Texas, that football is more important than fun or creativity AND especially more than reasonable, rational thought.
Or justice.
Here’s a story from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Here’s a Facebook support group for the kids, who are named Curtis Patton (age 17) and Sean Kight (18).
By the way, this isn’t the first time in a year when students got punished for wearing silly costumes.
