You’re the principal of a high school on graduation day. Students are supposed to arrive at 5pm for the 6pm ceremony, and the rules say nobody will be admitted after 5:55. The senior class vice president shows up late and is turned away by the guards at the door. Somehow, she manages to get inside anyway to catch the end of the ceremony, although her parents are still stuck outside. What, if anything do you do about it?
Well, if you’re Principal Dwayne E. Evans of Thornton Fractional North High School in Calumet City, Illinois, you naturally have her arrested and hauled off in a police car.
[Update: Arg. I can’t believe I screwed up principle/principal. I’ve known that rule for over 20 years. Fixed it now.]
she was late
i graduated with her and it was stated be there at a certain time
So?
What great purpose is served by keeping her out if she’s late? What great purpose is served by having her arresteed? Just to stick it to her for, on her last day at school, breaking a stupid rule?
Fuck their rules.
