WALKER, MI – Sabrena Hall and more than 60 other Kenowa Hills High School seniors are upset that a bike ride to school this morning got them suspended on the last day of school, and banned from the traditional senior walk. Students say more than 100 classmates participated in a 3-mile bike ride to school that included escorts by a Walker Police cruiser and the mayor. It was supposed to be a fun twist on the types of things that typically happen on senior prank day

“Students say more than 100 classmates participated in a 3-mile bike ride to school that included escorts by a Walker Police cruiser and the mayor.”

Wow that's a really destructive thing to do; maybe the death penalty would be fitting punishment.
I can't think of anything more destructive than a 3 mile bike ride.
What's next; a nuclear weapon? Good thing the school nannies are keeping things safe.

“Home School
Private Christian School
Don’t know why people are willing to hand their children over to the Government to be “educated””

Repeat always! To heck with the government schools.

Video of Katie Pennington addressing the students who rode. At one point, she says,

“Call and get your butts home. You’re not participating in Senior Walk today.”

Real professional.

My God... they BIKED to school instead of DRIVING!!

I think there's a key statement in the video, where the principal talked about the student ride causing a 2 mile backup causing students and staff to be late.

How much you want to bet her temper tantrum came from being stuck driving 5mph in that 2 mile backup?

Yeah, um - we detoured traffic off of the local highway into the garbage dump. Which had no exit, except the detour we set up.

When the traffic stopped, we ran like heck.

I went to a GR city high school and we had our Senior Skip Day at Grand Haven on the last day of school. And after 40 yrs., I STILL won't touch tequila!

All in all, this little "prank" at Kenowa Hills sounds pretty tame to me.

I don’t know, it could lead to worse things, like Tebowing. ;’)

Yet I am supposed to trust government mush brains with my personal health care and food comsumption.
