Rebellion, part II

The following was the response that I got back from my principal--and former US History teacher--which was sent to all administrators and the Student Resource Officers in the building--even and invitation to the deputy superintendent (what have i gotten myself into?:) The outcome of the rebellion will be posted in part III sometime on Tuesday afternoon.


"Daniel Thomas' first period Honors Civics class has declared themselves in rebellion. They have declared their independence from Crest High School and announced that they are not under my authority any more. (It's an absolutely wonderful lesson.) My attempts to peacefully address their grievances has been rejected. As of this date, I am declaring that room 107 is in a state of rebellion against the lawful authority of this school.

I am assembling an army to suppress this rebellion. Please assemble in the main office just after 8:00 AM on Tuesday. We will march on Mr. Thomas' class and reclaim the lost colony. These insurrectionist will pay for this disloyalty with their liberty.

Dr. Hartness, I don't know what is on your schedule, but do you want to play army with us?"
