Quotes from current students at Brookfield Central High School:
----------
As a student at BCHS I know how Sashwat feels about Mr. Cerutti, and I know there are many others who feel the same way. I find it outrageous that the administration is making such a big deal out of this when there are other more important issues going on at our school. There are kids smoking, drinking, and doing drugs and they're worried about what one person is saying. I don't know about you, but I was always told talk about how I feel and to tell the truth. If I can do this, then why can't Sashwat. I think the School District of Elmbrook needs to reevaluate this situation and think about what really matters.
----------
I'm a freshman at Brookfield Central and most of us at this school are very mad at what the administration is doing. Our school is very musically inclined and we know what is right and what is wrong. Freedom of Speech is not taken seriosuly anymore. In our district it is so common that things like this happen. The district doesn't realize that no one except for the district agrees with the way they handle situations. Every single day a police car carries at least 1 kid from our school. We aren't bad kids but Mr.Cerutti decides that he can't handle it and needs police involvment. That causes way too much controversy. What can I do to take action?
----------
...I am a student(senior) at BCHS and beyond disgusted with the way Cerutti has decided to run our school this year. The man lies directly to our faces and expects us to eat up his propaganda. ...I am also a soccer player who by the end our season had more than half of our fans removed for reasons anyone would deem ridiculous. Well any information you need help with I'm on board...
----------
...I would really like to help out. I dont want my Senior year (next year) ruined because of Cerutti. Just tell me what u need to be done.

From this article:
Students said that the assembly was not out of the ordinary and that it could be a case of students reacting to Cerutti's tougher style.
"Because Cerutti has been more strict than usual with the Homecoming events. People were a little more resistant to what he was doing, like the seniors standing up and turning around, that's not (what normally goes on)," junior Michelle Hoelker said.
----------
I hope Cerutti won't be able to take this shit anymore and switches schools, leaving your class with a better principal for your senior year. I'm sick of all of these new policies and rules. Just let us be kids.
