Principal: School 'willing to sponsor a prom, but not an orgy'
"It is not primarily the sex/booze/drugs that surround this event, as problematic as they might be; it is rather the flaunting of affluence, assuming exaggerated expenses, a pursuit of vanity for vanity's sake -- in a word, financial decadence," Hoagland said, fed up with what he called the "bacchanalian aspects."
I completely agreed with this pricipal and thought he the most down-to-earth guy in the world until his use of the word "bacchanalian".
I then saw him as uppity and a show-off.
Of course that could be because I didn't know what the word meant.
It's either a boardgame, or an affinity for 70's AM radio staple Burt.
