What women think about women's suffrage

I vote to end women's suffrage too.

How ya doing, buddy?

In the end, Padua Academy girls got a lesson in vocabulary, signing documents, and the virtues of skepticism when it comes to Salesianum School boys with cameras and microphones.

Embarrassed administrators at both Wilmington Catholic high schools want to put behind them a month-old prank video showing Padua girls signing a Salesianum boy’s petition to end women’s suffrage.

But local Web logs in recent days have dredged up the video, which was censored from Salesianum’s morning TV report.

The video chronicles senior Will Albino’s effort to enlist Padua girls to sign his petition to revoke women’s voting rights.

Some of the giggling or grinning girls -- apparently misled -- seemed all-to-eager to place their names in the mike-wielding Albino’s spiral-bound notebook.

At one point, Albino explains: “We want to, like, eliminate any remaining threat of women’s suffrage.”

At another point, one girl declares upon signing: “Women’s suffrage is really bad.” The video also features graphics labeling girls variously as “smart chick” and “not a smart chick.”

A knockoff of a similar skit on Comedy Central’s “The Man Show,” the video was submitted for Salesianum’s morning newscast, but a teacher and school administrators wouldn’t allow it, said the Rev. Bill McCandless, the school’s principal.

McCandless faulted the boys for tongue-in-cheek tomfoolery at the expense of younger girls apparently caught off guard. “I just felt it really wasn’t fair, because they were going there with the purpose of tripping them up,” McCandless said.

The principal also said the amateur producers misled their teacher, went on Padua’s property without permission, and may have had a role in distributing the video online.

At Padua, administrators heard complaints from students about the boys’ questioning, said Sister Ann Michele Zwosta, the school’s principal.

Once the video surfaced on various Internet sites, alumni and parents began to complain, too, Sister Ann Michele said. Some of the girls in the video were embarrassed, she said, and many others weren’t laughing.

“The vast majority of students are furious,” she said.

If that was my school, I think I would be furious too. Probably not getting my money's worth <.<

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh snap, this is not good. My school newspaper advisor okayed my request to put in my petition and article in the school newspaper, but if something like this happens, GG me.

Still, being "caught off guard" is absolutely no excuse for a girl to sign a petition to END WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
