Where will it end?

There appears to be an axe to grind, and they are looking.

This is probably the members of a very large church located in SOWAL, not saying where, that home school all of the children. But since their base school is SWHS, they more or less spy on everything that goes on.

There appears to be an axe to grind, and they are looking. It has been mentioned by several people that Walton County ending Christian prayer before sports events may have been the catalyst. Never mind that the surrounding counties made this move 10 years ago, so the story goes. :roll:

This whole thing makes me sick! I hope you can get some satisfaction! Poor kids that worked so hard on this play! I applaud them and their efforts...I hope they grow up to make this sort of thing oboslete!!!!! What are we?? Living in the dark ages?? This sounds like the crusades!!!

I don't have children in school, but can't parents who do file a similar complaint? Why should only one side be heard and responded to....

Good point....

Guess this high school didn't have a problem doing Any Number Can Die....

"The award winning drama department of Shorecrest High School is pleased to present their latest production, a hilarious take-off on mystery plays popular in the late 1920?s.
Murder, mystery, and mayhem, in the marvelous tradition of the 1920?s thrillers, combine to create an evening of entertainment sure to delight any audience. Guests trapped by a severe storm in a Victorian mansion and terrorized by a masked murderer, who inhabits a maze of secret passageways, is situation enough to raise havoc with the characters?and the audience?both frantically trying to figure out ?Who?s next?? and ?Who done it?? Written by Fred Carmichael, this hilarious comedy playfully pokes fun at all aspects of the corny thrillers of the Roaring Twenties."

Wow- sounds evil and dangerous to me.:roll:

I know that the principal and drama teacher are handling this one properly. Remember, these complaints/appeals have guildlines to be followed. Due process...

You can object to ANY play if you get out the magnifying glass. Don't get me started on that crazy pervert and dissident Shakespeare :roll:.

IMO people who don't even have kids in the school preventing a play is them just being a killjoy - they're allowed to have an opinion, but since it doesn't apply to them or their kids, it shouldn't carry much weight.

BUT, it's their tax dollars.

Everything is technically your tax dollars.

Your tax dollars maintain the roads people use to drive to church, doesn't mean you get to kibbitz on their sermon's content!

Meanwhile, there are parents complaining (see week-before-last Walton Sun) about the "Meet You At The Pole" Christian fellowship that was held at all Walton County schools at 7:00 a.m., well before first bell.

If this were elementary school, I can maybe-halfway understand a bit of censorship. But this is high school. I don't know the content of either play, but in high school, we must start introducing our children to the world, while still under parental involvement. That way, if something happens that offends your family's personal beliefs, you can discuss it with your student. Don't wait until your children head off to the state university system...
