[edit] Michael Jordon

Michael Jordon attended BCC? I don't think so. Seth1066 07:39, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Michael Jordan did not attend BCC at all. He went to Emsley A. Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina. The only way he could be included in this article was if there was a category for "Famous People Who Did Not Attend B-CC."--Sand Squid 01:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alumni Editors

Are there any B-CC alumni watching & editing the B-CC article?--Sand Squid 16:48, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, what about the history of the anti-war movement at B-CC, particularly the shut-down of the school during the student strike following Kent State, which I think is buried somewhere at the school's website. In 1971 we did away with the prom as soooo 50s plastic, but apparently this tradition revived along with other conservative trends. So much for the "Sixties." Tom Cod 05:15, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, so much for the sixties...who cares? Just because an event happened in your era does not mean it is noteworthy. So our school skipped a prom one year and the following classes didn't share your views. Wow, what a surprise. That never happens.--Sand Squid 22:06, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

No, but that era was noteworthy and those events, the Vietnam War and the anti-war movement, are of historical significance. Tom Cod 04:53, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] High School Quality & Controversy

This section contains a lot of original research, which is not allowed per Wikipedia guidelines (see WP:OR). The text states conclusions that are not supported by the references. For example, take the statement "Although many factors have contributed to this drop, the rapid growth of the school - from 1200 in 2001 to 1700 in 2007 - has undoubtedly changed the demographics of the school." The cited reference supports the numbers, but nowhere does that reference imply that it has led to a decline in school quality. That conclusion can only be the result of original research. I am, therefore, removing this text and reverting it back to an earlier version in which only facts are stated; I am also changing the section title to a neutral "School performance". Let's just state the facts and let the readers draw their own conclusions. That's what encyclopedic means. If someone can supply verifiable sources that state the conclusions drawn in this text, they are welcome to change it. Truthanado (talk) 03:36, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
