Pie-in-Face Contest gets Student Expelled
The school-sponsored event asked students to pay 50-cents to pie their favorite or least favorite teacher or principal in the face!
A student's parents are outraged now that administrators have suspended him from Ottawa County's Danbury high school. It's all over a fundraiser held during school hours. What's puzzling is school administrators encouraged the students to participate in the pie-in-the-face contest. The targets were the teachers and the principal. Now one student's education is on the line.
Tina and Don Molnar say a pie-in-the-face contest held by Danbury high school got their son expelled for 80 days. The school posted flyers asking students to pay 50-cents to pie their favorite or least favorite teacher or principal in the face! The students could enter as many times as they wanted. The Molnars' son was selected to throw a pie in the principal's face. After the contest she filed a complaint with the police. Now her former student could face charges.
The Molnar's say their 15-year-old son has a 3.5 GPA and has no disciplinary marks on his school record. The boy's parents filed an appeal to challenge the schools decision.
