Apparently they saw the pealing paint from the rain and wanted to see what was underneath. So they started cutting away at the fence with a saw until other students got pissed and stopped it.

For more information here is an article published by the Tartan (the school news paper). And here is a photo album of a student (AlanvDotOrg).
Sad when an icon is ruined by the ignorant few!
ReplyDeleteI showed some pics of the fence from earlier in the year to my class. We discussed traditions and how important they are. I then told them what happened and showed them a few of the pics. We discussed vandalism and destruction of property. It lead to a great conversation on graffiti and defacing property and what appropriate consequences are. Be sure to give updates on repairs, etc.
