The prank I played at my highschool almost got me expelled actually (and I never got into trouble in school until it). I noticed when I drove past the school that the junior prom was going on--I was a senior at the time. So I came up with this plan to mess with the juniors. My friend and I bought poster board, a basket and some condoms and wrote "Free Condoms Please Have Safe Sex" on the poster board. Little did I know that the theme of the prom was the red carpet. So the couples would walk down the carpet into the building and their parents were outside of it taking pictures of them. That didn't go as planned. That didn't go as planned at all.
How could they expel you for that? What was even the point of contention?
The parents were so distraught over me ASSUMING their kids were having sex after prom that they basically tried to get me expelled
Random people asking for you to be expelled and being at risk of being expelled are not the same thing. Red Hat asked a Wall St. bank to fire me, doesn't mean I was in any way at risk of losing my job. Just a random third party with their own interests.
But a school will fold to public pressure far more easily than a Wall St. company. If a few parents made a commotion about it, there was a chance of expulsion. I come from one of those shitty towns where that could happen.

The principle told me I was going to be expelled but I guess he couldn't actually do it. It was a lot closer than just people asking for it
Did they ever give you a reason? Or just make idle threats? Public schools can't legally just randomly expel people, principles don't have that power. You have to break rules and have a precedent for the level of punishment.

Their reasoning was "you aren't certified to do that" and I was like you need to be certified to promote safe sex? They hated me after this happened. I couldn't believe the backlash

Did the banner say something like "Practice safe sex, anal or oral = not pregnant". . . Come on...

What's up with going to TX on a moments notice?

You have to understand there was a lot of teachers that didn't like me because I would never do my homework and generally didn't care but still got good grades. The resentment just built over time until this happened and I guess they felt like they could finally let loose. Like I said, super uptight

It literally said Please Have Safe Sex. It wasn't anything graphic at all. I wish I still had the picture of it

Ah so the problem was you were asking people to have sex. (safe or not) which pissed off the teachers / parents.

Wow we went to very different highschools lol - they gave out condoms freely at mine
Even the cool teachers were pissed off at me for the rest of the year. I didn't get it
Not very cool teachers, maybe they lost bets on who would get pregnant because of you.
The east coast is super uptight. Maybe that's why I just stay inside /shrug
It is? I live in a rural (oddly religious) area of the north east. Even here sexual education and prophylactic were very important in highschool. Probably because we had a bizarre number of teenage pregnancies.

Nah, they mad I assumed that their kids were having sex (which they were). I heard everything that the parents had to say. It was lunacy

That's not a reason. Lying to you like that would be more protection against expulsion. A court would have a field day with that.

I told them they have no grounds for it. Prove that I wasn't looking out for my peers essentially.

Their issue is that the banner and material weren't sanctioned. Distribution of condoms is something that needs (sadly) approval. And was probably the kind of thing that pissed of many religious people.
As contraception was / is something the church said to not use for a very long time.

25% could have been 1/4 girls or 1/4 students (1/2 girls.) Hence the specificity.

The prank I played at my highschool almost got me expelled actually (and I never got into trouble in school until it). I noticed when I drove past the school that the junior prom was going on--I was a senior at the time. So I came up with this plan to mess with the juniors. My friend and I bought poster board, a basket and some condoms and wrote "Free Condoms Please Have Safe Sex" on the poster board. Little did I know that the theme of the prom was the red carpet. So the couples would walk down the carpet into the building and their parents were outside of it taking pictures of them. That didn't go as planned. That didn't go as planned at all.
How could they expel you for that? What was even the point of contention?
The parents were so distraught over me ASSUMING their kids were having sex after prom that they basically tried to get me expelled
Random people asking for you to be expelled and being at risk of being expelled are not the same thing. Red Hat asked a Wall St. bank to fire me, doesn't mean I was in any way at risk of losing my job. Just a random third party with their own interests.
The principle told me I was going to be expelled but I guess he couldn't actually do it. It was a lot closer than just people asking for it
Did they ever give you a reason? Or just make idle threats? Public schools can't legally just randomly expel people, principles don't have that power. You have to break rules and have a precedent for the level of punishment.
Their reasoning was "you aren't certified to do that" and I was like you need to be certified to promote safe sex? They hated me after this happened. I couldn't believe the backlash
That's not a reason. Lying to you like that would be more protection against expulsion. A court would have a field day with that.
I told them they have no grounds for it. Prove that I wasn't looking out for my peers essentially.
Their issue is that the banner and material weren't sanctioned. Distribution of condoms is something that needs (sadly) approval. And was probably the kind of thing that pissed of many religious people.
As contraception was / is something the church said to not use for a very long time.
Was there a law saying that approval was needed? Unless the school had a rule about it already approved, it didn't need approval. They can't make it up after the fact.

@scottalanmiller Never mind the joke went over your head.
Think male seahorses.
