Ha ha. I just spoke to the principal. btw, the area code for the
principal is wrong, it's 608 like the rest, not 508.
Basically, the town is a small town (about 5,000 people), but it's
in a fairly rural part of Wisconsin. The school audotorium was the
only place big enough to hold the rally, so that's where it was
held. It was a ticketed event, but students were allowed to go
without a ticket, because the principal wanted to give everyone the
opportunity to see the president of the U.S. He said that there was
a rule that students who were wearing pro-Kerry stuff would not be
allowed in the rally, but there was nothing that stated they would
be expelled from the school. He said they didn't want protestors or
picketing. He also said students were allowed to wear whatever they
wanted before and after the event, but if they wanted to go into
the audotorium during President Bushie's speech, they'd have to
take off pro-Kerry stuff.
I asked, "So, there was nothing stating that they would be expelled
if they wore pro-Kerry paraphenilia?", and he said "No, there was
not. That would be illegal, and we wouldn't stand for that".
There ya go.
