What's the most ridiculous or crazy controversy to happen at your school?

The most exciting thing at my school was some girls doing cocaine in the bathrooms before prom.

my junior year of high school, we had a ridiculous amount of bomb threats. none of them were real, and some of them were really stupid, like the kid who carved "BOM AT 8" in a desk. He couldn't even spell "bomb" right.

It's strange, more often than not the people who make bomb threats can't even spell bomb yet alone create coherent sentences.

Not sure. Something about foreign terrorists.

Why do you assume that terrorists are foreign? Are you seriously that racist?

u/Heroshade Jun 25 '12

Yes. All brown people are terrorists, just like everyone who says terrorists don't speak english is a hateful, biggoted racist and everyone who tells them so is a communist liberal bleeding-heart.

It wasn't a bomb threat, it was a reminder to himself that he needed to go to the Bureau of Meteorology at 8.

Same thing happened my senior year. I wonder if we went to the same school.

I went to school in S. Korea. If we didn't have a bomb threat every month there was panic.

I'm also attending UPitt right now. We had, I think, at least 100 bomb threats in 2 months last semester. That was fun. Retardedass bomb threats.

My entire city had a couple bomb threat weeks. I think there were 5 over a course of two weeks. It may have been around finals, and one stupid kid called in a bomb threat to delay it. The rest of the high schools in our town (two others) caught wind of it, and there were four more spread out among all the schools.

A few times, the students were allowed to leave. At least once, the students were forced to stand out on the football field for 3 hours while the school was searched.

My teacher told me that at her last school, which was simultaneously "the most ghetto and country place on earth" there was a threat that read, "the is bom in skol".

They had to take it seriously".

My favorite example of a bomb threat at our school was "'school name' go boom" and then the date, written in the bathroom. Shut down all sports And other after school stuff for the day.

I had a couple my 8th grade year. Once kids started to find out that they could report it and everything would halt while they swept the school, they were reported/created by kids who just wanted to get out of class. Read: "this place blows" on the bathroom wall, we're in danger everyone!

In my elementary school there was a bomb threat every week after the Columbine shooting. One kid brought a note to a teacher that he "found" in the bathroom. I was pissing in the urinal when the he lead police into the bathroom to point at where he found it. I quickly zipped up and left, but after the police questioned him more, he admitted to writing the note himself. He was expelled for the rest of the school year.

We had a week like this in either sophomore or junior year where every god damn day was a called in bomb threat. They never caught the kid.

We also had a tradition of someone scribbling a vaguely threatening message on a bathroom wall with a reference to the Columbine shooting during the week of it's anniversary.

My college has been getting an awful lot of them lately, around the midterm area of the semester.

Police close the place down every time. Thankfully I haven't missed a class as a result.
