Comments on: Vance Middle School Digs a Hole http://demarcationville.com/2008/04/17/vance-middle-school-digs-a-hole/ There’s a thin line between normal and insane. I think I’m standing on it… which would explain the big blob of crazy on my shoe.

Honestly there was an announcement encouraging us to wear purple to show support. But these students wore the shirts and made these statements to try and make somebody angry; they protested against nothing really. One of our very own teacher is a throat cancer survivor and one of my fellow students has recurring tumors and we all support them as much as possible. This issue needs to be resolved before any more of the faculty get falsely accused of anything, because I know from four years with the vice principal, he was once and gym teacher of mine, and two years with Mr. Kind, principal, that they are the most supportive of us all. They have stayed all night with my Latin 1 teacher Mrs. Hoss when she was battling her throat cancer. I just wanted to get this out there for the world to see, thank you. ~Raven.Black As a student at Vance Middle School I can guarantee you that the colour purple is not banned and what was most upsetting was the fact that the students did not wear those shirts for the right purpose.
