[edit] CWA section NPOV & cleanup
I have been working on the BHS entry for a bit and the biggest problem is the CWA section. I have some suggested edits that could help. I have also added a few refs and tags to help with NPOV.
(some in attendance were as young as 14)
This addition seems to have a biased tone. Also it is already assumed because Boulder High's info box mentions grades 9-12. I suggest removal for better NPOV.
The Becker quote is in the same form that has been accused as being out of context. A summary (and full text) of Becker's statements are already provided which leads me to believe that this quote is unneeded and possibly biased (context).
In particular Becker allegedly informed the students where to easily find marijuana and appeared to make fun of using a condom[citation needed]. Becker allegedly went on to encourage students to experiment with both hetero and homosexual sex and encouraged students to masturbate[citation needed].
Some NPOV cleanup needed (too hard for me). Possibly by reducing use of opinionated words like "encourage".
Mansur Gidfar and Patrick Garrett also appeared on the program Colorado 2031, hosted by local news anchor Ron Zopollo, to discuss the issue with Caplis and Silverman.
I tried to find a ref for this on the 2031 site, but the summaries are too vague. 24.8.147.178 (talk) 02:08, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Dr. Pudding
What is the story behind the nickname? Deeze (talk) 06:24, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm not exactly sure, as it happened before my time as a student at BHS. However, rumors have circulated that there was an incident during his days as a vice principal at the yearly "All Cultures Day". Bruce Campbell showed Chuck Norris how to roundhouse kick. (talk) 02:45, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
I've heard the name thrown around Boulder High, although i can't say i know where it came from. I'm assuming it originated before i came to the school. i would be curious if anyone did know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.120.1.88 (talk) 20:09, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
I have also heard the rumour of the all cultures day incident. The story goes that he over the course of the day consumed the majority of the pudding they had for sale. Eventually, the volunteers selling the pudding began to call him "Doctor Pudding", and the nickname stuck. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.97.202.208 (talk) 15:13, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I've heard the nickname recently. it seems as though its making a comeback. i have only heard it this year, but i have heard the rumor of the all cultures day incedent. however i've heard another rumor of a prank phone call a few years ago. has anyone else heard this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.120.1.88 (talk) 03:15, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
didn't he, that one time, with the pudding... —Preceding unsigned comment added by KSI jew bagel (talk • contribs) 03:31, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
I think its hilarious that everyone calls him Dr. Pudding now. some people even call him "Doc Pud" for short. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.120.1.88 (talk) 03:40, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
I've heard more another version of the "All cultures day" incident. The pudding consuming story might still also be true but I heard that there was a smaller food fight with the main weapon being Pudding. Dr.P stopped the fight and earned the name Dr. Pudding. --68.165.198.65 (talk) 01:12, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Source
Can someone add this to the article? --DrBat 11:44, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Why can't you? Wikidudeman (talk) 17:33, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Even though this is old news, I have added another source for related statements. Also, newhounds is biased and is probably not the best source to use. 24.8.147.178 (talk) 02:14, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
