you have a high-school aged daughter in a business and communications class. a video assignment "to create a persuasive promo or advertisement" is given and she chooses to create an anti-bullying message.

This is the school district next to mine. Oh Long Island, what has become of you?

my first phone call would be to the local media to embarrass the shit out of this ignorant principal so his dumb ass will realize my kid just did him a huge favor

that's already being done nationally, which is a good thing.

Yep.

setting aside for a moment that in my school district a principal is not allowed to summarily suspend a student for a first "offense" based solely on a parent's complaint, that principal would be really sorry for treating my child like that. there are entirely too many educators and lawyers in my family for us to let the school get away with that.

I'm sorry, but "persuasive" and "controversial" go hand-in-hand. don't want controversy, don't assign persuasive argument assignments.

[lady_borg]

Agreed.

[collide]

Agreed.

Seriously. You'll probably need to suspend history classes and science classes as well, plus your English curriculum will be really limited.

Point out to the school that maybe they should do something about the bullying if they were so moved and take her to a new school. Their idiocy and not being able to read that it's fiction is not her fault.
