Board votes to expel all 31 students involved in hazing
So, exactly how are these kids being punished?? What's the lesson we're teaching our children? Oh, I get it- if you're going to commit criminal stupidity, do it late in your senior, eh?
GLENVIEW, Ill. -- The 31 high school seniors suspended as a result of a videotaped hazing incident in suburban Chicago have been expelled, but will be allowed to receive their diplomas on time, school officials said.
At a meeting late Sunday, the Glenbrook High School District 225 Board of Education also voted to uphold the suspensions of all of the students.
The students will be banned from the school grounds and all school activities, including the graduation ceremony, but the school will freeze their grades at previous levels instead of automatically flunking them, said Superintendent Dave Hales.
So, the message here is that if you're close enough to graduation it really doesn't matter what you do. You can degrade and debase your fellow students, even commit felony assault- but don't you worry. You'll still be able to participate in your graduation ceremony, and you'll still get your diploma. Oh, you might have to miss the last few days of class, but it's your senior year, so how much do you care about going to class anyway. Look at it as a vacation.
My hat is off to the Glenbrook Board of Education for setting an example for the rest of the students in the district. Accountability? Not here, because we know that y'all are trying to get into college.
Jackasses....
