Revenge of the Nerds


iconIn one California school district, students could face expulsion for making others feel left out.

A California school district is considering adopting a new policy that could cause students to be expelled for "rejecting" each other, for sharing "unpleasant stories" about each other - even if true - or for associating with like-minded peers in groups if others feel "left out." [...]

The center says national race-based organizations came to the district to propose language for the policy, which prevents students from forming or openly participating in groups that tend to exclude, or create the impression of the exclusion of, other students. [...]

Under the policy, Ackerman says, no group would be allowed to engage in any behavior that makes others "feel left out."

The school board is scheduled to vote on the proposal tomorrow.

Welcome to Fantasyland High School, where nerds and jocks hold hands with each other and sing Kumbaya.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. This is going to work out just fine.
