Oh, you dumped human feces on your schoolmates and got kicked out of your prom? Well, we don't want your senior year messed up regardless of what you've done, so we will spend our own money to throw you one.

Please don't even get me started with this....I went to the school (GBN) that the tape is from and if you want my input (which you probably don't) you can read all about it in the Risk Managment thread.
Docet, I usually agree with what you have to say, but I'm begging you, please don't let the media sway you into turning this into a one sided issue. We're not all rich. Kids getting spoiled didn't lead to this sickening display- nothing could have caused it, IMHO, besides crappy parenting....personally I don't think that's the same as being spoiled. For some reason these 14 girls weren't raised with morals, weren't taught how to be HUMAN BEINGS and I think that's sick.
But you cannot say that it's just spoiled kids. Kids in down home farm towns get hazed. Teens in the ghetto beat the ever loving shit out of each other for gang initiation. It can happen anywhere.
Anyway I'm just tired of seeing it turned into a money issue. It's not a class issue, it's not a race issue. It's raising children to treat other people with respect, and for some reason our society in general just isn't about that anymore.
