Students at Pennsylvania school must ask for toilet paper
MAHANOY CITY, Pa. (AP) - An eastern Pennsylvania high school says vandalism forced it to create a policy in which toilet paper has been taken out of the boys' bathrooms.
Boys at Mahanoy Area High School now must go to the school office to request toilet paper and sign it out. Principal Thomas Smith says that's helped solve a major problem of intentionally clogging toilets that's been going on for two years.
Smith says boys must sign out the toilet paper and then sign it back in. But the Republican-Herald of Pottsville reports some parents are protesting the policy.
Parent Karen Yedsena says some students are too embarrassed to go to the office to get toilet paper and are going home sick instead. School officials say they aren't aware of any such problems.

Could be some smelly butts in class.
That's a crappy deal.Â

Sure hope none of those kids has diarrhea. They aren't going to have time to ask for TP.Â
Typical.

Punish everyone instead of catching the culprits. That is how our society works.
BYO TP. Duh.  And if the Vice Principal is considered to be too draconian, they'll just wipe the used TP all over the walls. Obviously the teachers haven't worked in reform schools.

 @SrianB Oops! Guess the moderators aren't too keen on Bevis & Butthead...
 @RatchetRanger For I am the great cornholio!
Can they get the complimentary toilet paper after going through the school cafeteria line instead?
I'm surprised that it is the boys' room that gets clogged and not the girls'.
 @WendyTeagarden Well why would that be.....................never mind.
A highschool... and the boys are embarassed to ask for tp? *cough*
Little Johnny is alive and well!
Those kids must be a bunch of dingleberries
 @wvboy Nor are they fans of Klingons
 @SrianB  @wvboy You mean the ones from Uranus?
 @wvboy Dude.
Nice.
I think an armed guard in every stall would get this under contol.
 @Mechanic For liberal values of "think."
 @Mechanic Or, Perhaps, a guard without arms
Apparently these parents would much rather have to pay for the damaged plumbing and clean-up from clogged toilets than have their precious baby have to go ask for some tp. Of course, they could always just give junior a roll to take to school with him, but then that would take oh, 10 seconds consideration first.
Maybe they should try putting a camera inside every toilet so they can see who is doing this!
 @swimbad Now that would definately make news
5 sheets for $1 Buy 15 and get 5 sheets free!! (Man, you could make some serious money if people had the trots!!)
 @disgustedman Sheet yes
Â
 @disgustedman Open up a Filberto's on campus.
 @Kushfan Bwa-hahahaha! Genius. Pure, evil genius!
Let the sharting begin!
Well, that's a crappy policy.Â
 @Justanother1 The administrators must be 3 sheets to the wind.
@Kushfan Don't forget the guac; the Superbowl is coming up.
 @WendyTeagarden What the WHAT?? Talk about deja vu all over again. No mas tequila por mi.
@Kushfan Please don't squeeze the administrators
 @RatchetRanger  @WendyTeagarden Stop, Drop, Roll and Flush!
 @WendyTeagarden We're on a roll now!
 @Justanother1 It may be a while before they cling on to it.
