Pre-Columbine mass shootings: Some kid rode his bike up the stairs during class changes and was denied walking the stage at his graduation for "seriously endangering himself and the entire student body."
He rode is bike UP the stairs? That's crazy, y'all must've had small steps or something or dude must've been built different
He was a wiry little guy, the steps were steep. It was rather comical, he started at the end of the hallway and just went hard. We all thought he was on cocaine, but who knows?
The thing with the bike must have been long before graduation, right? So there were probably consequences already. Seems kind of petty to deny him the stage.
Nah this definitely sounds like a situation where "it's the end of your senior year and there's no other way we can effectively reprimand this behavior" and he might have already been a problem student.
