Two students attending Eagan and Apple Valley high schools were expelled last week after buying souvenir swords during a spring break choir trip in the United Kingdom.So--do you think the outraged parents will organize and oust the board members? Good luck--most are controlled by the teachers' unions, and most parents don't care enough to get involved.
This is the kind of stuff that should give us pause when pointing out how far places like the UK have degenerated. We have no shortage of control freaks and people who won't stand up to them here.

I once convinced a high school principal that he would be desperately in need of an ambulance if he expelled my son over something similar.
ReplyDeleteHe decided that he had the power to use his "best judgment".
Funny how that works, ain't it?
I am still that way, if someone trespasses mine I will exact payment.
