US: Suspended for lightsabre battle

Post by Buzz Bumble »

It happened in America, but this was printed in the Sideswipe column in yesterday's NZ Herald (16 June, 2011, back page of Section A) ...
School empire strikes back
In Massachusetts, Westfield High School officials suspended Tom Costello and Ryan Angco, and barred them from their graduation after the duo performed a mock battle with a Star Wars theme in the school cafeteria. Principal Raymond Broderick said they could have hit someone with their toy lightsabres.
:roll:

Sideswipe often prints stories of "Politically Correct" idiocy like this. It's impossible to tell what is actually real and what is simply nonsense they copied off the Internet. There was one recently where a school banned swimming goggles because the kids might hurt themselves if the elastic headstrap pinged them.
