Just out of curiosity, where do live? I am in Morgantown,and my kid goes to Morgantown HS. They have a particularly tyrannical vice pricipal there, though I here that she isn't kicking butt quite so bad this year.
People in power sometimes make rules that ought to be fought. If that is the case at your school, then go for it. There will be life after high school, no matter how things go. Most of us adults now regard those days as a fairly small part of our lives. At the time, nothing else mattered, though.
Best of luck.
