So, will the kid who plays Bill Sykes in the school musical Oliver get suspended for portraying murder?

Of course not, he's portraying a guy abusing a woman....

I hope she doesn't kill herself over this.

If only she followed fark she would know that it is against facebook's ToS to give out her password.

I wonder why the film teacher didn't say or do anything during production of the film.

Unfortunately, this is how public schools have to operate nowadays. Scared. Over cautious. Too many a-holes suing over their snowflakes have ruinied it for everyone. Nobody wants to lose their career because your kid made a video. I wouldn't either. Can't say I blame them.

An apology should be accompanied by a free ride to college and the school administrators responsible for this executed bu public hanging.

What the heck is wrong with Long Island. I know we're a special kind of idiot out here, but lord does that take the cake.

Anyway, her suspension has been lifted. Bunch of people are still planning to go protest on May 31st outside the school board meeting (I was so lucky as to receive the FB invite to the event! -sarcasm- But perhaps some Warzy-journalism will occur.)

Being a school administrator must be the easiest job in the world, what with the no requirement to think and use common sense.
 
2012-05-24 12:00:39 PM
I can't wait for the time when we as a society start looking at the over reacting parents who caused this sort of knee jerk nonsense to "Kindly sit down and shut the fark up!" And that time is fast approaching.

It's one thing to ease kids into understanding what's out there in the world. But the "suicide" was just a text follow up at the end of the video. How could that harm anyone?

I have two nephews, one niece, and my wife and I are thinking about starting a family in the next year. I hope at some point by the time they've reached their teenage years someone has at least in a general sense explained to them that bad things happen and what those bad things are. How the hell are kids supposed to know right from wrong if you don't even tell them what the wrong things are? Or even exist?

You don't need to show kids/teens graphic photos but for the love of god can we stop pretending that sex and violence are not part of real life? What exactly are we preparing them for? How to live in Candy Land? When they teach about them about Revolutionary War do they explain it like it was a big game of flag football?

In the US, it's policy to hire narcissistic pin-wits as public school administrators. It's the only way to keep the incompetent employed!
 
2012-05-24 12:04:58 PM
Now, just a minute: I agree that suspending her was ridiculous, but I disagree with the people going "ZOMG WHO CALLED IT IN?! PANSY!".

I was under the impression the parent who 'called it in' thought they'd come across facebook posts of someone actually about to commit suicide, were concerned, and called the cops. I'm not sure why that's worthy of condemnation.

/The people who suspended this girl, though? They're farkwits.
 
2012-05-24 12:08:13 PM
These control freak school administrators that think that they can extend their reach beyond the school need to be busted back down to novice janitors.

Probably because those people who saw it on Facebook failed to read that it was a fictional character.

Fictional. Char-ac-ter.

"substantial disruption"

So this was like two guys kissing in the cafeteria or a well-developed young lady wearing a halter top. In other words, it both pleased and disturbed the school administrator greatly.
 
2012-05-24 12:11:56 PM
The superintendent of the Longwood school district said that his douchebag reaction to the video "created a substantial disruption to the school."

The part that made ME nervous is "School officials shut down the Facebook page, after Jessica was pressured to give up her password." Note: SHE did not shut it down, the school officials did.
So what's next?
"We heard you put a negative review of the school on Yelp, give us your password or worse than a suspension will happen to you."
"Someone told us you got the answers to the test in an email. Give us your email password."
"We think you have some illicit pictures on your phone. Give us your phone and the unlock code so we can search it."

I suppose the principal then let them ride their bicycles home?

/that will teach them

I faked suicide in a class project video on Sylvia Plath when I was in high school. No suspension, and got a pretty good grade on it too.

I am confused here. A how do you "fake a suicide" when making a movie. Isn't that is what is commonly know as acting? Are they also going to suspend the leads in the school production of Romeo & Juliet?
 
2012-05-24 12:21:41 PM
My next video would be account of a school admin staff who bullies its students and punishes them for doing good things who all awake to find themselves badly beaten and tied to the seat of a car that is on fire.

You know, a fictional story of what could happen to an asshole staff that pushes the kids too far. Purely hypothetical.

That was my first thought, too. Kinda shoots the whole "I was thinking about your safety" argument down in flames, huh?

She clearly stated twice in the vid, beginning and ending, that the suicide was fictional.

my son's the big bad wolf in "Into the Woods" tonight. Hopefully the student that kills the wolf isn't suspended. LOL

You know what's an even bigger disruption?

An actual suicide caused by actual bullying that nobody did anything to prevent because of people like this who had their heads too far up their ass to act rationally.
 
2012-05-24 01:10:54 PM
i actually got bullied in school. and i was "supposed" to commit suicide. because i "ruined my life".

i think living off the govt. and eating food stamps is more productive

screw u fark i got a fark acct

I am increasingly firmly of the opinion that prolonged contact with children--infants through teens--must make you stupid. There are too many parents and teachers in the news who have made just the dumbest possible actions and statements. This must be what they mean when they say that having children "changes you". No thanks, I'll pass.

I suggest you hire a lawyer now. Just to be on the safe side.

Sigh... Apparently, we can't let kids stand out or disrupt the process of turning America's children into neutered, complacent cogs in the mundane machine.

The sad part is that she didn't "fake a suicide" but simply had a caption at the end of the video stating that the character committed suicide. We're at the point where thought-crime is being punished by our schools.
 
2012-05-24 02:51:13 PM
Those who can't teach, those who can't teach become administrators.
 
2012-05-24 03:00:13 PM
Sounds like she did a kickass job and should have been commended not punished IMO.

Race to the bottom continues! how dare you pass in a creative and intelligent assignment!

Faked her own suicide? Not impressed:

I usually hate when people post lyric, but Parker and Stone do such a great job:

Lets all get together,
and make bullying kill itself.
Bullying is an ugly thing,
and lets shove its face in the dirt,
and make bullying kill itself.

We can make it stop,
we can stomp it out,
we can beat its ass, until it starts to cry,
lets gang up on it, and tell it it smells,
and beat its ass worse, if it ever tells.

Lets all join together,
to try to make bullying kill itself.
It'll be fun to see just how bad we can make it feel,
make bullying kill itself.
