bad publicity. mudslinging. libel. slander. just a few of the words that have been used to categorize this insulting piece of journalistic trash.

opus dei ‘invades’ pshs

read it. and feel free to agree with me.

before i get off into an emotional tirade as to why this article is completely fallacious, i'll just cut myself off and simply say "this article is completely fallacious." i already did the whole rant-in-defense-of-pisay thing on my e-mail to the pisay yahoogroup, and i'm in no mood to recall it right now. so there.

now, some of you might think that this is really not that big of a deal, at least to yourself, but put yourself in my shoes. if you've actually been in pisay, and have an inkling of what's going on at the school nowadays, you'd see that this is a cause for concern. i've heard about talks of shutting the premier science high school down, and all the bad publicity, beginning with the acid water poisoning incident, isn't helping the pro-pisay cause at all. frankly, i love my alma mater. i would love to have my offspring come here and suffer through it as i have. and any attempts to prevent this, attempts to defame the reputation of pisay and subsequently cause its closing, is going to have to deal with my writer's rage, at the very least.

what's even more irritating is that at the very bottom of things, this entire issue was clearly raised on the context of the oh-so-infamous novel (which i now officially hate). come on, if the holy grail had never been touched on by dan brown, do you think this opus dei controversy would have been any cause for concern at all? hardly. the media would obviously do anything to jump on the conspiracy bandwagon, not caring who or what they target, as long as they get a story out of it. instead of actually rooting for the educational system and supporting pisay for the great intellectual institution that it is, they would rather besmirch it for their own personal gain. twisted priorities, if you ask me.

all i can say is, wake up and smell reality brewing. all this talk of religion and conspiracy is just a hyped-up fad, hardly worthy of the attention. but if not, then keep your theories to yourselves, or if you must, then find some other hallowed institution to bother. lest a horde of school-spirited geniuses run you into the ground.
