Rational Dad,

What hypocrisy? If you mean that we all did it when we were kids, then cracking down on kids is what my parents did, and therefore what we’re expected to do as a parents.

If by hypocrisy you mean that we as adults drink, well, if you can’t understand that then I can’t help you. I guess it would be hypocritical of me to get mad at my 12 year old for driving my car, because I drive a car too.

If by hypocrisy you mean that some adults get loaded all the time and act like fools, well, you’ve got a point there.

Pill popping is also a problem. How could you not know that?

Y’all cracking down on your kids and getting all uptight is so hypocritical. If underage drinking is the problem, and not pill-popping like other hs around the country, we truly as parents are being knit picky and need to find something else to get overdramatic about.

Until the parents are held accountable with consequences for their part (providing bus with alcohol) in these kinds of situations nothing will change.

To add to Peter Griffin’s comments – underage drinking and huge parties getting busted is nothing new

1994/95 – Kaufman Round/Cedar Creek ranch party
1996/97 – first round of warehouse parties
1998/99 – second round of warehouse parties and THE WAREHOUSE Party

An HP parent provided the school with a list of kids on the bus.

Lots of private school and other school’s kids there, too. Their school administrations just didn’t investigate … kudos to HPHS for doing the right thing. If the other schools actually looked into it or if any of their kids had self reported, they would have some suspensions for extracurriculars, too. Guess they all decided to overlook.

Mr. Griffin, If you have a child at HPHS, would you please let the rest of us know?

for pete’s sake, what’s all the fuss about?
this is a generational right of passage at HPHS.
in the late 60s there was the well know FMDC.
Friday Morning Drinking Club.
they even had a newsletter, run on mimeograph machine.
i suspect that something similar has been going on
since well before then. and since then, from 1973
to 1981 18 year olds could drink. and every few
years kids are busted for cranking out false IDs.
the only problem this time?
they got caught.
