But i never said anything about threating them.

Eventually, because they were known to have come some of the club meetings, the Anime Club was threatened and attacked by the truant and security officers, who took the issue to the higher-ups. The higher-ups being in on it, told us to either restrict our activities or disband. Of course the club officers wanted to keep it alive, so they restricted the activities to themselves and a lucky few in order to keep things under tighter control. But then the school board wasn't satisfied, so they began to BS some stories and eventually the principal had her way and the club was disbanded under the pain of expulsion of all students involved should the club perform any further activity. The Japanese Culture Club (which was seperate from Anime Club and full of non-troublesome students) was also forced to disband, just because the two themes of the clubs were related.

There is really little avoiding oppression where a situation like that is concerned.

At least, that's my opinion.

why the hell is nothing ever done about these corrupt school administrators?! damnit Kira get off you ass>.< you have work to do. but in all seriousness i wish students could actually do something in situations like this

We did. We fought for an entire school year to keep it alive. But a huge majority of the parents and other lame adults didn't like it, and felt that it "had too much of a negative influence on the youth in these parts." Pfft. Yeah, considering it kept us off the streets and was a considerably better addiction than drugs, oh yeah, sure, anime is bad.

But we fought the good fight, and kept in touch with each other. I managed to pull together newbies in my senior year with the help of my close friends and we managed to make a sort of secret miniature Japanese Culture and Anime club. Thank God for my Latin and English teachers and their Final Fantasy addictions.

I think that if there weren't dumb people in the world, we smart people wouldn't know that we were.

But yeah, I know how that feels. And picking on anyone just for their interests or disinterests is a form of harrassment, and frankly, I for one, think it oughtn't be tolerated.
