Nothing too spectacular. A few minutes after class started the principal marched "on the classroom" with the SRO, our two ROTC officers in their fatigues, and all assistant principals. The students were a bit shocked, but seemed to grasp the joke from the beginning. They even kinda laughed when the principal cited the school board policies that had been broken and declared all with 12 days After School Detention.
He did give a chance to back out. We only had one Loyalist to break ranks, but the rest of the class did try to put it off on me. Blame the leader--the American way I guess. "He typed it." "It was an assignment, we didn't have a choice."
One thing is clear. The students will remember that the Declaration of Independence was not merely beautiful ideas on paper, but required the sacrifice of thousands, and indeed could have ended with the signers "all hanging together."
