[edit] LHS Senate

As a former student, i don't understand why this has such prominence in the article; i'm even more confused as to, when i posted something earlier that pointed out that many students see the senate as useless (once again, something i can certainly vouch for), it was removed. what happened to articulating both sides of the story? 76.21.210.67 07:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I (also a former student) am also not convinced that the senate needs to be mentioned. But saying that it's useless is expressing a point of view, which is discouraged at wikipedia (unless you have a reliable source which says that it is in fact useless). This isn't about "both sides of the story": the article never claims that the senate is useful, and so there's no need to present the opposing viewpoint that it's useless.

[edit] Day of Silence

The Day of Silence section has absolutely no introduction. It just starts off with "There were also two protesters outside the school on the Day of Silence in 2005 who were never identified."

What does that mean? Someone needs to give context to the situation, if indeed the section should even be there. Dauthi (talk) 04:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

NZsailor123 (talk) 13:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC) Totally agree. In fact, I believe the school doesn't need a "day of silence" section because it insinuates an agenda not so much factual representation of our school. I am a LHS former graduate and I have seen the controversy this day stirs up which gives me reason to believe that whoever posed that on the link cares more about the day of silence than the school...case and point, it needs to be deleted due to it's lack of relevance/context as you mentioned earlier.

I deleted it. How about we try and put down some non-partial factual information about the school itself before insinuating it's vastly far-left liberal hidden agenda. For example, the sports page i added, music? arts? test scores? etc.
