Thank god I moved to Stratford If I was still in Shelton I would have suffered. I really feel sorry for all the students at Shelton High School especially James Tate
Yo man, has anyone else decided to call the school on your behalf too? Thanks for voicin your opinion! I just saw this story on Fox's Extra tv show tonight. I think it's ridiculous that he was banned from prom. Just wanted to know if a bunch of people have called the high school.
@BigBarProductions. I go to the school and yes students were chased down by police and threatened to be tazed last year after a walk out about budget cuts where the administration threatened to cut all extracurricular activities. Someone needs to stand up and sue the administration for suppressing our freedom of speech by threatening us
Which is the exact reason I decided to make the call and continue to talk about it on the show. Thank you for watching and for your comment. Please spread the word!
I go to SIS and my sister goes to SHS and it always seems that me a 7th grader has more freedom than that school! Like really? At the graduation for the seniors And my sister I cant wait to see if theydo anything just to be rude! Lol
We have confirmed that the incident with police threatening to taze students did not happen today but it did happen one year ago . Look in the description for the link to the story for more info
Just got this in from a BigBar Radio listener....." Police responded to Shelton High School today after students refused to return to class as they voiced their concerns about school budget cuts. About 100 students walked out of the building & that's when the principal called police to help get the students back into class. Student organizers say they were threatened. "They said if we don't go in we were going to get tazed & arrested so I went inside,"
Again Not 100% sure if this is fact so if any SHS students can verify this, it would be appreciated! I am so proud of every SHS student who is standing up for themselves. Much respect, keep it up!

The kid does something original and very old school and he is getting his balls broke for this shit.. He and his girlfriend should try to put together their own prom. F the school.
Tht high school hell ever since tht head master started there things have never been the same I have family there n I rlly feel bad tht they have to put up with her bullshit LET TATE GO TO PROM!!!!!!!!!!
I go to Shelton High and i just want to say that some of the policies are rediculous. For example, you could have as many suspensions as you want before April 1st and still go to prom but if you have one after, you can't attend any events such as prom, field trips, the senior picnic, etc. Also, Tate was only suspended so he couldnt go to prom. I've seen this happen before because after April 1st, suspensions are handed out almost on a daily basis. Like you said, they're using Gestapo-like tacti
I live in Canada and just heard about all this. Let me just say that this is f'n ridiculous! Do you know how many women would be in awe of such a kind-hearted, creative man??? He was so romantic and wanted to stand out to his girlfriend and ask her, basically in front of the entire school. He should in NO WAY gotten in trouble for this. I can see maybe saying, James, come on, you can't keep that up there, take it down ok? But no, he got banned from prom for being romantic and creative. Fight it
i go to shelton high and your opinion cant be any more right. he is an A.P. student and has done NOTHING wrong the 4 years he's been there and its not going to change wrong. the most he should have gotten was a detention but i really hope that he gets his prom back. i could say more but i know i would get in trouble if i did.
this is bull im a freshman and prom yea its close. but the kid wanted to be creative cause 95% of people asked their gf the girl they like or their friend by jus asking them but he wanted to be more creative and is getting punished. this is bull shit the kid is going to remember this forever not going to prom so just let the kid go i dont see any harm in this its tape and cardboard its not like glue or spray paint so whats wrong with that. let the kid go.
I go to SHS and our schools becoming more like communist Russia everyday. Also how the fuck is doc smith finding bout what people are putting on facebook and Twitter? Does she creep on everyones page?
yo i go to SHS and every one is dropping flyers saying send tate to prom and ive seen tater gang and i think if he had asked to post up the message they might have let him and if the said no he could've found another way, its just crazy about how this blew up and our school should be focusing on the teachers who come in drunk and do worse things then asking a girl to prom
I heard that the girl who he asked is still going to attend the prom even though James Tate is banned. While he is going to be stuck at home because of what he did for her she is going to be dancing with other guys.....If that's the case then she is NOT worth all this trouble.
As a student at Shelton High and teammate of Tate, the administration is turning into a dictatorship where you are not allowed to speak against the administration like the kids who tweeted about Tate and are then threaten of suspension which is completed unheard of which also goes against the 1st amendment of freedom of speech and soon there will be no freedoms or rights for the future students of the high school. Now the administration face things from an international scale
I am a life-long shelton resident and a junior at shelton high-school. I watched this whole story go down. I can't say Tate and I are friends, but we are aqcuaintant. He does not deserve this one bit. And Dunbar is right about this school turning into a fucking prison camp. It's rediculous. In fact, I'll probably get punished for saying the things I did online. It's funny, watching our once recently unknown town go into international news. Go to facebook and show your support. Go Team Tate!
oh, and everyone else who had anything to do with Tate, like the people who held his ladder while he put the letters up, also can't go to prom. I think there were 6 people banned from prom over this, but i'm not sure
i go to SHS and i can honestly say that Dr Smith is ruining our school and turning it into a prison. We have no freedom and people who don't deserve to go to prom get to go, and people who deserve to go aren't being allowed to.
the whole incident with the 60 kids getting called to the office for what they wrote on the internet was true...i was one of the kids but this is a funny story..i dont even attend the highschool no more i graduated last year and my friend sent me a text saying that my name was called down to the office...its ridiculous..the only thing that me and the other kids wrote on the internet was #teamtate
@xxvanrichtenxx Yea I did some digging and found out that threat of tazers happened last year but i would definitely encourage some kind of walk out or protest from the students....
But be cautious and do not get heated as they will bring out the tazers. I have seen it myself....BE LOUD but CAUTIOUS!
I completely agree with that which is why I felt compelled to call them on my show. It's very disappointing that they spend their time combating something POSITIVE instead of the negative things that occur in that school....
Ha They forgot about my comments. and deadmau5 and mashable.. whom i had tweet it... oops....LMAO
