The parents, the media, and many commenters are blaming this School Principal, rather than the "reduced energy usage" mindset that he has (intentionally or unintentionally) EXPOSED for the insanity that it is.

I'd say the day WAS a success -- or, rather, it would have been a success IF anyone had the sense to see what it means.
