We've got spirit how about ...U-tah

We’ve got spirit, how about…U-Tah?

The Canyons School District (Draper, Utah) decided to veto their student’s top choice for school mascot, the cougar, because it is disrespectful to women. Thank you for teaching these kids an important lesson…when it comes to decision making, majority vote doesn’t really count for much. The board of education will probably let these high schoolers decide what color crepe paper may be used for homecoming, or even go out on a limb and let them choose Coke or Pepsi. But when it comes to a school mascot, how could they possibly be trusted with such a life altering judgment? And, did anyone poll the cougar population ( I mean the four legged ones)? My bet is that they would be opposed to an affiliation with such tight-minded, anti-democratic folks. So much for the graduation address from Courtney Cox or Joan Collins.

High school busted on trademark infringement

Story: Seminole school dodges trademark infringement bullet

When the school decided to develop a new logo for their mascot, the entire town must have been oblivious to the fact that they completely ripped off Dodge's Ram. Don't they teach about plagiarism in high school? Being so close to Orlando, I'm actually surprised they didn't just try to get away with being the Mickey Mouses.

'Hoodlum' or 'hood rat': Vernon cheer coach to be evaluated yearly

Story: 'Hoodlum' or 'hood rat': Vernon cheer coach to be evaluated yearly

While breaking up a cat fight between some cheerleaders, the coach may or may not have referred to the girls as either hoodlum or hood rats. Her disciplinary action is awaiting the a verdict of which term was used. It's a shame some schools banned dictionaries, otherwise we could look up the difference between the two.

Teen suspended for wearing S.C. Gamecocks T-shirt

Story: Teen suspended for wearing S.C. Gamecocks T-shirt

I can't understand why school staff would be offended at a t-shirt that says "Go Cocks" on it. It sounds to me like this young scholar is simply dreaming of heading off to a nice university one day and wants to show a little college pride to inspire herself. By the way, South Carolina hit the jackpot with merchandising, but isn't it safe to say that something was overlooked when deciding on a school mascot?

Georgia High School Bans Religious Banners at Football Games

Story: Georgia High School Bars Religious Banners at Football Games

The players have a tradition of crashing through a big banner with slogans from the Bible such as "In God I have put my trust. I shall not be afraid." After realizing that this is not a private Catholic school, a parent suggested ditching the idea because it endorses religion. We are still waiting to hear if the school plans to continue accepting dollar bills that say "In God we trust."

Band shirts hit wrong note with parents

Story: Band shirts hit wrong note with parents

The high school's marching band all had shirts with an evolution image similar to above, but each of the species was carrying a brass instrument. Some parents immediately threw a fit because the shirts depicted evolution. We can only assume that these parents believe that music was conceived through the eye's of God, and did not evolve over time.

ALL students will be required to wear clothing that depicts the school name or mascot.

This is great! Senior prank season is one of our favorite times of the year at DetentionSlip.

Mark this day in history- A senior prank that doesn't result in suspensions or the threat of withholding a diploma. The boys welded an old Eagle around a flagpole, and the principal was cool with it. In fact, he was impressed they did it without damaging anything. Hats off young lads, hats off.

Florida Parents Sue School Over Religious Song

Two parents weren't happy that a song mentioned "In God We Trust." It wasn't enough that the school removed the song from their program, but these parents feel they are entitled to damages pay because their kids were exposed to this.

Principal Bans Students From Hockey Game

Story: Needham Principal Bans Students From Hockey Game


After too many complaints that students shouted to the other teams, "You suck!" and "Put away your clipboards!" the principal had enough. Even though this team is a defending national champion, and their opponents probably do suck, such suggestions could not be made by rowdy fans. Obviously, this principal is preparing his students for college and the real world, where fans are mild tempered and well-behaved.

Cheerleaders' parents sue in nude photos incident

Story: Cheerleaders' parents sue in nude photos incident

I am not sure how the parents are going to approach this one. At some point they'll have to come to terms with the fact that their 16-year old daughters took naked pictures of themselves, sent them to friends over the phone, and in short time the pics spread like wild-fire around the school. Last I checked that is still classified as distribution of underage porn. It must have been a lot easier years ago when all a principal had to do was raid a football players locker to find stacks of Hustler.
