"King" Suspended (Score 1)

Suppose I wouldn't have run for an office and then refused it. School should just have chosen a second-best-king. Not a bad thing for the new king to realize he was second-best. Certainly understand the protestor's point of view , however. I went to a Christian High School with extremely high academic standing, many warm fine friends, where most of the teachers were kind, intelligent, caring people working for much less than they could have gotten elsewhere. Nevertheless, when I suggested to our entire class that we take all the money we were going to waste on stupid class rings, and send it to some worthy missionary......I was ignored by everyone. I never bought a ring. I never bought a college ring. I never bought any silly mementoes of Medical School when I received my M.D. I only joined a Medical Fraternity (after they illegally promised me a job for free roomrent). The "Communist-like Cult of Personality" with most popular person elected to some meaningless title is silly. Our school finally changed the "King" & "Queen" to some less ridiculous title like Marshall and Maiden or something, but that doesn't really help. I suppose the American penchant for worship of Sports Heroes like O.J. Simpson, Darryl Strawberry, Rae Carruth (fatal shooting of mother of his child), Latrell Sprewell, Dale Carter, O. J. Simpson, Pete Rose, John Rocker, Mike Tyson, McSorley, Scott Niedermayer, Ray Lewis (obstruct justice in stabbing), will not be extinguished by this student or by me.
