If letting the kids throw a pie at the principal encourages them to donate, then I think it's a good idea.

For the kids, seeing the principal get pied is a huge incentive. He's never going to make everyone happy, but he will make a lot of kids happy and probably do more to acheive their food donation goals. The offended parent can go and join the league of people who sit on sticks.

The class that rounds up the most donations gets to launch the principal into boiling oil! (well, there IS a Thanksgiving tie-in, at least for those people who like their bird Elvis-style!)

It's sad but true that some people get into teaching young children so they can feel important. I think it's great to do the pie idea, kids love it. Remember that show on Nickelodeon, What Would You Do? It was all about pie throwing and kids would do anything to get a pie thrown at them, or to throw a pie at their parents. Your Dad sounds like the perfect principal so yeah for him and boo to that teacher.

Throwing a pie in one's face just shows how ignorant we Americans are when it comes to food. We can't send food over to starving African countries, but we can order jumbo-sized Value Meals, throw pies in principals' faces and then have people throw it all up because they think they are fat? DAR, I think your dad should get a tattoo instead.

There are sour apples in every bunch. I say he ignore the letter.
