What in the FUCK is happening in Chesterton? Have they lost their DAMN minds? Seriously? Expelling a kid because he ran across a football field in a thong?
And just so we understand why I'm so pissed - he could have beat the shit out of someone...which, by the way, is a CRIME called battery, and they would have suspended him for 3 days, but not expelled him.
And the choir members who HAZED other choir members with BODILY FLUIDS - they were suspended, not expelled. The fact that they only use the words bodily fluids when they talk about it tells me it wasn't saliva...they would have said saliva, I think, so I'm speculating it was urine or something worse. And that, too, is a CRIME called battery.
But this boy, who didn't hurt anyone, wasn't naked, committed NO crime, not even indecent exposure because he was covered with a thong, was expelled for the remainder of the school year. It's the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard.
If he had just run across the field, fully clothed, would they have even punished him? Probably not. So the issue isn't the running on the field, it's his state of dress. What if he had worn shorts? What then? It makes me want to organize a team of streakers for the next home game in various states of dress.
Idiots. I'm sorry, but when a kid pulling a stupid prank gets the same treatment as someone caught doing drugs in school? I think the administration needs to re-evaluate their punishment criteria. I'm embarrassed to be a Chesterton alum today.

I agree with you 100%
I read the article in the Post Tribune last week. 3 days is all he should have gotten. Leave the punishment up to the parents. Which the mother is making him do community service.
I agree it is rather harsh. The corp wants to send a message that behavior like this is unacceptable -- as if others are more acceptable. I think they'll (the corp) will back down to perhaps a semester expulsion rather than the whole year. Don't expect just suspension when they have initially come out so strong. Has something to do with saving face. Haven't hears any official scuttle-butt.
I can get that they want to send a message, but really? Have they had an onslaught of student streaking? Do they think that if they only suspend him that someone else will pull the same prank? And what message did they send the hazers from the choir...you can literally piss on someone (not that I know that that happened, I'm speculating) and all you get is a suspension, but show your ass and you're done.
Where was their message then?
The corporation needs to back down completely. They had their chance to save face during the expulsion hearing when this first hit the paper. They could have had the hearing and decided not to expel him.
Now they're a statewide joke.
Saving Face is BS. They are only hurting themselves. It's BS in the fact that let's make the parents responsible too. And this parent is. I understand that not all parents would hold their kid to the consequence that they need but I think being expelled even for just a semester is to much. Bodily fluids is disgusting. Choir bitches.
I was anonymous too, sorry. Accident.
Other news I saw my adorable nephew Chae yesterday!!!
I'm in on the organized streaking, just let me know when...
"good to see a school take a stand
this is way worse than fighting this forced everyone at that game including children to witness this idiot running basically naked....
maybe kids will wake up if consequences follow their stupid self-centered stunts"
Are You Kidding me? This is why Indiana is one of the most Ass-Backwards states in our whole union. And don't even get me started on the Conserva-Nazi, that typed the preceeding.
A call to arms.... Bust out the Bananna Hammicks and head to Cheese Town this Friday!!
My favorite phrase EVER used on this blog
"Bust out the banana hammocks and head to cheese town"
The brilliance of it is astounding.
I KNEW you'd be in for the streaking, Pea.
Laughing up my salad...
