What. the. hell...? The school claimed that the "police were also advised"...about what?

....er.... O.o. Wow.

Good thing my husband and I are long out of HS. We meep, mrp, mew, mrr, eep, prr, growl, and roar at each other frequently. We'd be expelled from that school in a flash!

"Meep" is the way I would phonetically render our cat's meow.

Looks like the Road Runner would be expelled from that school.

What the *********!!!!! None of that made any sense. The school couldn't even fully explain why they "banned" the word. Even the kids were confused. That whole article could have been, "school overreacts to something some kid put on Facebook, tries to ban meaningless word, ends up wasting a lot of time and funding while looking completely ridiculous."

I can understand it IF students are using this word to cause mayhem and disrupt the school.

I like how they made Facebook sound like a cabal.

I can understand it IF students are using this word to cause mayhem and disrupt the school.

I could too, with the same accent on "if." Tried to wade through the explanation, however, and the word didn't seem particularly tied to the disruption. I think it's probably a case of the school having a situation, trying to react, and then just not doing the right thing.

Anybody else find it hilarious that the article about this witchhunt is posted in the Salem News?

Count Beaker on this one too. That's the most asinine thing I've heard of...banning the word "meep"?

kay so i understand if the kids are saying "meep" and interrupting teachers constantly...but since no-one has a decent explanation...that's just messed up

i was thinking the same thing

I'm wearing my Beaker "meep" button all month in protest.

On my FB page I'm currently arguing about this with the ex. He thinks that there was in fact going to be some sort of "disruptive action" (how disruptive could said action really be? My little gang in high school did worse).

Now, if the school at least offered up some sort of explanation I might give them points for trying...and then laugh hysterically at whatever it might be.
