It is a sad state of affairs when a school tries to discourage those qualities!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11887973.post-1138306218639059102006-01-26T15:10:00.000-05:002006-01-26T15:10:00.000-05:00I almost forgot to mention that it is weird readin...I almost forgot to mention that it is weird reading area conservative blogs crying "Free Speech!" and liberal blogs saying "We must maintain order."Robert Endershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592475828737641009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11887973.post-1138289292481946092006-01-26T10:28:00.000-05:002006-01-26T10:28:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11887973.post-1138288891439932032006-01-26T10:21:00.000-05:002006-01-26T10:21:00.000-05:00Ha!

Its also insensitive, offensive, and has no place on high school property. Mr Frazer should only have shared this matierial with his friends away from school.<BR/><BR/>His punishment was too harsh, however. To illistrate how South Side High School would have handled a similiar problem, I will point out the case in which an offensive satire made it into the final published copy of the South Side Times in the fall of 1994.<BR/>The satire was a fictitious survey. One of the question asked students what their favorite summer camp is. The answers were multiple choice, and instead of being able to choose from answers like Chain o' Lakes State Park or Fox Island, the choices were names of infamous concentration camps.<BR/><BR/>The advisor to the school paper did not spot this until the paper went to press. The morning that the papers were to be delivered, he had all the students in first period journalism class, including me, rip the page with the offending article out of each copy of the school paper. Of course I kept a copy for myself, and I imagine that quite a few uneditied copies left the room and were distributed to students.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what the students' (there were several students involed) punishment was, but they could not have been suspended since they all continued to attend class regularly after the incident.Robert Endershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592475828737641009noreply@blogger.com
