"Rat Day" scurries away
Fox Chapel Area High School admits condoning classism.
Last month, the school instituted a Student Government Constitution hoping it will promote a positive school climate and in shaping the future of the school.
The new charter is a direct result of a senior who exposed herself to ugly personal attacks at the expense of exposing an ugly school tradition.
The constitution begins: All students and staff, regardless of gender, religion, color, socioeconomic status or creed should have the opportunity to be involved in the Student Government....
Bernstein asked a teacher if the new policy had anything to do with her article.
"It has everything to do with it, the teacher told Bernstein.
I'm confused by the new constitution though. Is it just me or does it really not address what the problem was? It says that everyone can get involved in the student government. Granted the whole document isn't there, so I could be missing something.
