Having shirts made, and paying some sort of fee indicates organization of some sort. I'm making a parallel argument - how many times have a group of individuals wearing GLO letters gotten in trouble, that leads to the chapter itself under investigation? It's "guilt by extension" I guess.
Besides, with all the PR whirlwind this is generating, I can't see how the school CAN'T get involved in one way or the other with this incident...the public outrage can't be ignored - hopefully that's the silver lining to put a stop to this nonsense.
This really only happened LAST WEEK?
Think about that - these juniors wanted to be "accepted" by the seniors - who, if Chicago schools are anything like here in northern Colorado, are already holding commencements!
To go through all that for a few WEEKS of acceptance is absolutely mind-boggling!
My philosophy - if you force me to do disgusting things for acceptance, I prefer to be an outcast.
