Phrases in quotes come from an editorial in today's "Tribune":

"Friday, March 20 was. . . Coke Day at Greenbrier High School in Evans [GA], about 130 miles east of Atlanta. In an attempt to win a $500 prize for the most creative way of distributing promotional discount cards for Coke to students, the kids spent the day listening to Coca-Cola marketing executives and using Coke in various classroom activities." Two students,

Mike Cameron and Dan Moxley, were suspended for a day for wearing t-shirts emblazoned with the Pepsi logo. "At one point the school's 1,230 students assempled outside for a photograph in a formation that spelled out 'Coke.' That's when Cameron and Moxley whipped of overshirts to reveal shirts sporting the red, white and blue Pepsi logo.

"Good for them. . . . [T]heir prank, [their suspension, later rescinded], and the publicity it drew had the felicitous effect of letting the folks in Evans - and accross the country - know what kind of nonsense is passing for education in their high school."

Apparantly, the same cave-dwelling, brain-damaged Mongolian responsible for the recent Old Navy cargo shorts campaign is a Georgia school superindendent. --http://home.uchicago.edu/~djm2/archives/sent.1998.04/coke.day.at.school
