It was a funny prank for the Homecoming game. What's screwed up is the school has absolutely no sense of humor.

When I watched the story on the news a school spokesperson said the kids were disrupting a learning environment and someone could have been injured. Learning environment... at a football game? This zero tolerance crap has got to go.

I couldn't agree with ya more RPM. Some students put together a funny senior prank that does no damage and doesn't hurt anyone but are sent to jail.  How stupid is this.  Although i have to say it seems more like someone is on a power trip about punishing these students than a case of zero tolerance striking again.   I am curious if the the kids have a history with this school admin or if their parents do.

I hope the parents of those kids sue the toejam out of the school board. Punishing them for a halftime prank is beyond ludicrous.

Rent-a-cop, you mean.  Probably the most exciting thing he had to do since he failed out of the same high school.

According to the local PD, they recommended to the school that the kids go home with their parents, but the school decided to press charges.

UPDATE: Bananaboy and Monkeyboy (http://thesouth40.blogspot.com/2008/09/update-bananaboy-monkeyboy.html)
I say 16 hours jailtime served is more than punishment enough and you better pray I don't sue your blind.

This zero tolerance crap has got to go.

My Senior year the soon to be valadictorian (josh) was expelled from school with only 1 week left. The reason? The runner up for valadictorian (christina) stated that josh had a dangerous wepon hidden in the trunk of his car. The police came and rumaged through his trunk to find a box cutter and a small pocket knife in the first aid kit. He was expelled, he did not graduate with honors, he did not get to attend Cal Tech, he was not valadictorian. All because it is a zero tollerence policy for carrying a "wepon" on campus.

Zero tollerence can shove it

That is way over the top. That's lawsuit material right there.

On what grounds? The schools are the ultimate, final, word-from-the-mountain authority.

Hell we filled the water fountain in front of the school up with bubble bath at our home coming.. and had beach balls flaying all over during graduation. Would probably be labeled terrorists now days.

I will say a some of the college students from Emery Riddle got caught trying to steal a live alligator from one of the miniature golf places here on beach side a few months ago. I had a good laugh at that, trying to figure out what they planned to do with it.  :lol

Geez what a load of crap. Kids having fun, not hurting anything or anyone and they go to jail for the night?

My friends and I put our high school up for sale my senior year. Went all over town loading up on home for sale signs and putting them in my buddies truck. Had over 80 of them by the end of the night and spent almost an hour planting them in the lawn in front of the school. Made the front page of the local paper. Put a portable outhouse on the front steps one night as well.

I swear school administrators and parents have no sense of humor anymore. If I ever get to the point I can't laugh at some kid doing a stupid prank like that, I think I'd just shoot myself in the head. I never want to be an old fart like that.

Perhaps if the monkey was chasing the banana, the outcome would have been different....

Can't these kids nowadays get ANYTHING right?  :rolleyes:

Easy, we used to put them into apartment complex's swimming pools.  Great fun there!
