QuoteA Maine high school senior says he was denied his diploma because he bowed during graduation and blew a kiss to his mother.
Justin Denney was about to receive his Bonny Eagle High School diploma on Friday when he pointed at friends and relatives.
Schools Superintendent Suzanne Lukas ordered him back to his seat. She told the Portland Press Herald newspaper she was enforcing behavior rules.

Just a wild guess based off of a Tarot reading and dice rolling... I surely haven't done anything else to get that info nor can I vouch for its accuracy
:lulz:
I work with this school. I can't remember if I've had any direct dealings with this superintendent or not. I'm guessing not because I'd probably remember as she seems to have quite the winning personality.
It's one thing to get mailings, containing the same content, from across the globe. It's quite another when flyers containing the same content, as the mailings, is taped to the door of your office.
There seems to be a "Fire Suzanne Lukas" group on Facebook.

I can't really attach my name to such a thing, but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea for others to sign up.
I'm in, if we're going to do mailing or emailings. What should we send?
I'd be more than happy to help.
I lost my job today. This is a perfect task for a malcontent out-of-work computer programmer thats been labelled an iconoclast and various similar terms his entire adult life.
Deer Suzanne Lukas.

Hell lukas
Canb any american doubt the truth you said>
they pretend that it isn't true because than they would haveto admitt it's true. we deserve nothing. we may work hard for it but a fire may come ansd burn it down anyway. you tell the truth. your hardwork means nothing. and what a person to tewach beacues if no teah he may have sawn that thing ashappen beyawd control.
Can you magine people think because they are in school that work means anything? no. all it is is clicks and people being pretend they better than are. and you show... no not better no special you. give me that you don't deserve. like he deserve. and he cries to his friends which is the reason he went to school everyday for anayways.
:lulz: Jesus.
did you send all those?
i chuckled :)
And more...
I just like the idea of flooding her with letters of support from the barely literate. And focusing on the "why try because the world sucks aspect" seemed the best way to go. It also seemed a lot easier to write these short messages than to write a well thought out letter that would wind up being TL;DR.
That's amazing.
It felt like my brain hit a speedbump.
If I ever have any conversations with her this year (like the one where I ask her if her school district can pay us for our services this year) I'll see if I can delicately bring up the subject and ask her about what kind of feedback she received.
