We are asking for Mike to be reinstated to the South Forsyth senior class president ballot, because he was removed over a phone write-up from last year even though the War Eagle Way slide show said this year would be a clean slate and that write-ups from previous years would not be held against us.
That promise matters. Students should be able to trust the rules they are given, and they should not be punished this year for something that was supposed to be set aside. If the standard was announced as a clean slate, then it should be treated that way for everyone.
Leaving Mike off the ballot breaks that expectation and feels unfair to the students who were told their past would not follow them into this year. A student election should be about who the class wants to lead, not about changing the rules after the fact.
We believe Mike deserves the same chance as every other candidate to run for senior class president. Please restore him to the South Forsyth senior class president ballot and uphold the clean-slate promise that was made to students.
Mike is incredible and he would make a wonderful class president. One write-up from a year ago shouldn’t prevent the seniors from getting their president.
