I guess the silly season has arrived in Massachusetts.
Mass. principal bans students from saying 'Meep!'
November 12, 2009

The utterance favored by bungling lab assistant Beaker of "The Muppet Show" has been banned at Danvers High School in Massachusetts after students said it to repeatedly interrupt school.

Principal Thomas Murray says the word was part of a disruption planned using Facebook.

This is no more than the old guerilla warfare between students and the school that has gone on since the beginning of education. We've all done it -- dropping pencils, coughing, crumpling paper and the like. Me, I'm on the students side.

Meep, mudderforkers, MEEP!

Aaahhhbullshit! Any "good" teacher would not loose more than a minute stopping this in their class. What student would respect authority this dumb, if the principal really had brains he should be embarrassed for doing this. Any school official that can't be more mature than the students under their charge should be dismissed for being unqualified. Seems to be a desperate and tactless act of a man to full of himself and his power. SS
