2. I was thinking of various actors who might have done so
although I can't think of any right off hand. (I guess that's why I asked the question!)

3. No, but mine got famous for calling the Star of David a gang symbol
Banned some kid from wearing it. After a national outrage, he was allowed to wear it again.

Wild inner city school with lots of gang problems, too. It's located in the rural area just above Gulfport, Mississippi. Their idea of a gang is a black person. Apparently they made Jews honorary black people, for purposes of bigotry and cultural insensitivity, anyway.

Guess their school symbol when I went there? The rebel flag! Yeehaw!

8. I had about 1.5 good high school years.
The others were something like The Ox Bow Incident (to plagiarize Woody Allen).

18. Who started the fight; who was the aggressor?
That's more important than the fact there was a fight.
