Bert and Ernie Packing Heat on Sesame Street BROCKTON, Mass. (AP) — Brockton High School has banned T-shirts with Sesame Street characters. But these are no regular pictures of Bert and Ernies.
On some, Oscar the Grouch emerges from his garbage can, wielding a 9 mm handgun. On others, Bert and Ernie are standing in a gang posture, armed with automatic weapons.
"We were amazed," said the school's principal, Susan Szachowicz. "You focus on the Sesame Street character. But the more we looked at it, the more we saw the things in it, the guns, the gang stuff."
There have only been a few shirts at school, but officials said students are being told to stop wearing them because of the pro-gang message. School officials also said they violate the school dress policy.
Last week, Brockton was awarded $685,000 in state anti-gang funding.

I thought Oscar the Grouch was a somewhat prickly informant.

Gosh, I was E-mailing news about this stuff yesterday.
I have friends and family who are graduates of that school.
For what it is worth, Brockton High School is one of the largest and best Public Schools in the entire country.
I do not offer such praise lightly.

My kids who are adults now, have high praise for Susan Szachowicz. I do not know her personally, but she seems to be a competent professional.

They just can't leave Bert and Ernie alone.
Now I have "Rubber Ducky" going through my head...
Rubber ducky, you're the one,
You make bathtime lots of fun,
Rubber ducky I'm awfully fond of you,
Woo woo be doo
Rubber Ducky, joy of joys,
When I squeeze you, you make noise,
Rubber Ducky, you're my very best friend, it's true,
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo...
To: Irish_Thatcherite; alexs
All started by the reptoids.
