What would you do if a school administrator decided that a previous tradition was no longer going to be allowed?

This is not my child’s school but I’m wondering about the issue.

A local school parents’ group on FB is discussing how there is usually a tailgate party at the football game (which is tonight). The school principal has decided it’s no longer going to be allowed.

I don’t know why as it’s not our school.

Some parents are saying why not just do the tailgate party anyway. They’re saying what’s going to happen? Are the cops going to be called because the parents are tailgating? Others are saying the kids should organize a friendly protest. Another person said what kind of lesson is it teaching the kids if the school administrator says no and the parents just go ahead and do it anyway. She said even if the parents don’t think the administration’s decision is right, that doesn’t mean they should break the rule.

What do you think?
