ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM. Do you know how bad David Johnson would whip your tail if your **** apple redneck *** decided to say that to his face haha. State Champion Wrestler, Ultra marathoner, stout sob. I am not sure if he is still there or over at North now, but I love how fat boys sit behind the computer and make snide remarks.

Prank day, really is Senior day...or the start of it.

This is the only thing that has went on at the school. These kids are simply abiding by the rules put in place for them. A lot of them have a lot to lose if they get in trouble for a prank day. Last night, they (as a class) received over a million dollars in scholarship funds, and many are joining the Armed Forces. They have worked too hard to lose any of those opportunities just to prank their school.

I'm proud of them for acting like adults, and having a day of good clean fun, where no one is arrested or expelled from school 2 weeks out from graduation.

Ha ha, yeah, that's not exactly what I would call a prank. They were giving out cotton candy and snow cones? That's just a Senior day. So I don't know if that's the same thing I heard about

What I heard was that there was something racist, and the school was considering withholding diplomas from some of the kids because of it

I imagine the real freaks were genuinely offended.

Otherwise parents complain that tax money is being used to clean up the mess of other students.

It is better than destroying your high school rivals sign over and over again causing thousands of dollars worth of damage.

Approved pranks? Really? Are we conditioning the next generation to get approval for everything and never take chances? Never think for themselves?

The last time I looked I think West's principal was a short red-headed gal. She must be smart to keep the seniors from doing things like tearing up the place. She majored in Math if that tells you anything.

Somebody gave the principal 6 inch heels, so he could look the seniors in the eye when they receive their diplomas.

An approved prank? How embarrassing.

no big deal

It was an approved Sr. prank (yes, they have to have approval prior to any prank event, with details listed to the Principal...also teachers are on-site late at night while the decorating is going on) There was no racist content - just Circus decor with cotton candy and snow cones for the Seniors.

And the responsible Seniors had to clean up the mess when it was all done.

Just a harmless day for the Senior class. No one is talking about it, cause there was 0 drama and nothing to talk about.

Kinda like the spirit of ticker tape parades in New York City for a lot of people, that in and of itself is nothing to get excited about.

erSpaniel has a point. I just checked that twitter account and he is right! Dang. How obvious can you be. Come on JP we know your in bed with West but do you have to actually rub it in our faces. Geez. I guess they don't even care they show they take sides anymore. Man what a county we live in. You would think they could at least be fair to the kids. But nope guess not.

You guessed it. The conspiracy starts with the photo on top of a twitter page.

Some of you should get out more.

West is catered to by the county as well as the local paper. Just look at the JP sports twitter header photo it is west high. The county and paper is supposed to be unbiased and treat all schools equally and fairly which apparent isn’t happening. Where is the ACLU when you need them?
