I know this isn't "new" news, but I happened to Google my high school recently and this article popped up. I can't really say I'm surprised about the content since the atmosphere at my alma mater has always come straight from a John Hughes movie (think Pretty in Pink or Some Kind of Wonderful if you're of a certain age; if you're not, Google him )
I just wanted to get some opinions on whether you all think this was appropriately dealt with or not...
Fox Chapel High: Where it's OK to dress as an alien(ator)
by Joanna Bernstein
On the Friday morning before Halloween, 10 to 15 students, all of whom are residents of the Fox Chapel area’s most affluent neighborhoods (and home to Teresa Heinz Kerry), marched into school dressed as students from Sharpsburg, a less wealthy neighborhood from which a minority of Fox Chapel Area High School students live.
From the moment they entered the building, it was clear who this group of students were targeting. Instead of their usual Abercrombie and Fitch polo shirts and Steve Madden loafers, the "rich kids" donned generic brand athletic jerseys, ripped jeans, and dirty white high tops. Their costumes were no secret and no joke.
And it was tolerated by the administration.
