In May of 2007, my sophomore year of high school, we had to film a scene from the classic play Antigone. Being high school students, we would mess around during the filming while we were out of class. We (Whit, Steven, and myself) filmed all that extra stuff, and made an extra video, called "Reason for Suspension", a reference to the possibility of being suspended from school from messing around in the hallways.

A year later, in March of 2008, I get called down to the principle's office, where I find Whit and Frederickson also waiting. The principle then tells us that they had found the video, and they were not happy. And they wanted it deleted.

They had a printout of every bit of information the high school had on me, as well as everything they didn't like about the video. They didn't like that it was the first result that popped up when you searched for the school's name on Youtube. They didn't like that all the people in the film hadn't signed off to be online. And they didn't like the use of the song "All My Friends Are Dead" by Turbonegro, among other things.

So they asked me to delete it from Youtube, which I did. They didn't really force me, I just did it voluntarily, because I didn't want anything to mess up me graduating in a couple of months. I was even contacted by a local news channel that wanted to interview me about the situation, but I declined. But I always wondered, what if I didn't delete it?

Anyways, now that I'm graduated, I feel safe in uploading the full, uncut version of "Reason For Suspension". And you will probably realize how lame the video and how stupid it was for the school to freak out about it. (less info)
