First DarkWed, Mar 4, 2009 haha Interesting... I too had a big prank scheme planned out to hack my high school intercom system during my senior year, but instead of a speech I was going to broadcast the song "The Pleasure Principal" by Lesbians On Ecstasy. I also wanted to get a bunch of different people to start dancing in different classes throughout the school when it played. I thought it would be funny to see if they would be willing to put the band's name in the news/announcements afterwards (if it were successful). Unfortunately, the idea eventually just got washed away along with the many other ideas I had for making my school more interesting before leaving. I should note I went to a nice, peaceful, monotonous upper middle class dominated suburban high school...
I also wrote an anti-education (forced schooling / the education system, that is) article for the "senior edition" of our school newspaper, where every year students reflect upon all of the great experiences they've had in school and how excited they are to go to college. My article, on the other hand, lamented the time I wasted in classes where the curriculum taught me nothing of intellectual value (and largely the opposite), and gave an overview of everything that's wrong with the education system, which forces people with good intentions (teachers, and parents) to create generation after generation of blissfully ignorant pawns for the elite. Unfortunately, it was ultimately discarded... but I did have a good run of 'controversial' articles before that so I wasn't too upset. It was entitled "We Don't Need No Education, We Don't Need No Thought Control" :-)
