SCHOOL BANS NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY RECOGNITION

Here we go again. Students at Plano Senior High School in Texas who earned the right to wear National Honor Society stoles at graduation were told by the school that they will not be allowed to wear the white satin stoles because the honor is not inclusive of all students. Garrett Frederick has been a National Honor Society member since his sophomore year. “I’m not just an honor student – I’m an NHS student. I worked hard. I put in the hours,” Frederick said, explaining that he also committed to 20 hours of community service every semester. Administrators say that they do not want to single any students out or cause any hurt feelings.
* Somebody get word to Obama that we’re not allowed to be exceptional anymore.
* “Plano High School, Where Every Kid Is Plain.”
* What does the school care? These kids are leaving. They’re society’s problem now.
* I think the backlash began with those insufferable “My Kid Is An Honor Student” bumper stickers.
* 20 hours of community service a semester? Sorry, but let’s not be too impressed with that.
* We’re definitely in the Age of the Participation Trophy now.
* Hello? The solution is simple: Make everyone a member of the National Honor Society.
* Sure, this is wrong, but we don’t want to reward these kids for their achievements, do we?
* Otherwise they could take our jobs.
