Actually, I'm not really sure it was supposed to be a hate poem, [I]per se[/I]. But the prompt was sort of unclear. It basically said "Write a 20-line poem of indignation. Use your own rhyme scheme." All right, I think, I'll write five stanzas, four lines each, each one ending with some sort of twist. It will be funny in a sort of sardonic way.
So I get down to write and begin listing off everything I hate. Really, I don't hate that much. I'm a fairly easy-going guy, so I had to make some shit up about how much I hate hipsters, Williamsburg, the religious right, etc. It ended up pretty well, but there was one stanza that stuck out, which read:
"I hate the slight prejudice,
That I can't help but hold against Jews.
But something I hate even more than this
Are dirty, rotten, greedy [I]Jews![/I]"
Now, a few things:
1. I am not poetic. I write a lot, but [I]poetry[/I] specifically, as you can see, is not my thing. I embrace this unfortunate fact and decide to write dark but--hopefully--funny pieces when I am forced to write poetry (which is often). But remember that I do not pretend to be a poet.
2. I am not anti-Semitic. I wrote this for the lulz and, in fact, the following line (the first line of the next stanza) says I hate being taken seriously when I'm joking (in fewer words). I tried to make it clear that the poem was satirical.
So, I went into school on Thursday and handed the poem into my teacher. He smiled and all that rote shit and I sat down. Class went through as usual. Nothing odd. The rest of the day was fairly average.
But the next day comes along, and within the first few periods I get called into the dean's office to discuss some fucking mandatory counseling. They asked, I shit you not, if I had any violent or angry tendencies or if I have ever hurt or [I]killed[/I] anyone due to any tantrums. They then searched my bags for weapons and shit and fucking told me that I would have to visit the counselor once a week for the remainder of the semester and, if I should show no improvement, for the rest of the year. What the fucking shit! I tried to explain to them that I was joking, but they weren't having it. Then they fucking brought up Columbine and Virginia Tech and shit and asked a bunch of fucking personal questions like if I had suicidal thoughts or shit like that. What the fuck! Eventually, after about thirty fucking minute, they let me go back to class, but I asked that I go back at the end of the day. Fuck that, I thought. I didn't show up. All they were going to do was tell me to visit the counselor some time the following week, anyway.
So, yeah. I guess I shouldn't have made that anti-Semitic comment, but damn. This sucks.
So does anyone know how I can get out of this counseling shit?
Your teachers are dicks
I mean really. Or was it that everyone else decided to make the poem bearable where as you just went full speed ahead?
Just show him the line about being taken seriously.
you rhymed jews with jews
Dude, how is someone supposed to know that is a joke?
You said that you hate all jews.
What the fuck were you thinking? It's school, not South Park. Plus, Jew jokes are hardly ever funny. You should have expected the school to overreact.
People in real life do not get 'the lulz' and you should not write things in real life for 'the lulz' because this shit will happen.
that was pretty dumb of you
just stick with it, i hear girls dig the jew haters
That poem didn't strike you as weird?
Teachers are there to be stuck up fucks about things like this, why would you even write this :v:

I said I hated the religious right, too, but nobody asked if I was going to shoot up a church.
EDIT:
Anyway, I already said that I shouldn't have written that.
How could you possibly think that was a good idea?
Protip: The rest of the world does not, in fact, think that jew jokes are funny. "lolololocaust I was jk" doesn't really work here. Your fault.
wow nice goin bud!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, OP.

Real life is not the internet

:lol:

No, you read it wrong.
[QUOTE=Chilean;25340508]Poem of indignation, not a hate poem[/QUOTE]
Exactly. The teachers expected you to write a poem about how you hate DA MAYUN, Big Whitey, Authority, or Society in general. Think "rebel" faggot rather than Adolf Hitler.
your teachers are stupid. "I hate being taken seriously when I'm joking (in fewer words)." Apologise , make sure they understand and re-read your poem if you defiantly added in the taking serious part.
If someone's political beliefs caused them to be prejudice against Jews, I doubt they could do anything about it without censoring their freedom of speech and/or their right to be of whatever political group they want.
Obviously the OP doesn't really hate Jews, so you kind of have no argument against them. It's their school. They can choose to be jerks to you if they want. :ohdear:

no actually school administrators as a whole are pretty damn stupid
when i was in middle school I said "i'm going to kill you" jokingly to a friend of mine after he made a fat joke at me; girl who hated me in the class informed a teacher, teacher goes to administration, they suspend me for a week

About a year ago I said "(teacher name) is the reason people invented guns" in a silly, non-threatening way. I was called to the office and a cop was there and they started comparing 9/11 and the school shootings to making one remark in class.
Bloody hell, paranoid/brainwashed much?
Oh boy JIDF are going to be all over you OP.
You should write I FUCKING HATE FAGGOTS AND I WANT TO KILL ALL BLACKS at the end of all your school essays for the lulz too
After all it's just a joke
Teachers and administrators take issues like that so seriously because while it may seem like a little joke and it may actually be, they can't be for sure. Humans are very unpredictable at times and there are many cases in which students have brought guns to schools obviously in intent to shoot someone. While as a teenager it may look idiotic, but it really isn't.
There are crazy people who do shit like that.
