Ok, so we're all the same. Smart, hardworking students are the same as D student slackers. There is no need to think of yourself as a certain gender, regardless of your hardware. Being white implies that by definition you have privilege. White people can believe they are black people, and that must be accepted.
The tyranny of the minority trumps the majority in all respects.
We are fuuuuuuucked.

That's pathetic. I have to wonder if ideas like this were developed by people who weren't recognized (read: didn't earn it) as among the top of their classes in either high school or college and this is their way of getting back at people ("if I can't have it, no one can").

If you're white but self identify as being black, do you still have privilege?

Liberals control education and are deeply devoted to destroying it to bring about socialism, which is really just communism in a nicer suit.

The two are not synonymous sir, though often seen together.

Don't wear your earned honors pin but feel free to wear a dress if you're a man feeling like a fish that day.

Finally able to read the article
There is a such thing as healthy and unhealthy competition. They are competing for excellence in Academia - a healthy thing.
I wasn't honor society in HS and I felt ashamed that I wasn't. I didn't knock those who were but I did pay a little more attention to what they did versus what I was doing. I eventually got my act together Senior year in HS and that carried over to my Collegiate Honors performance. "Failure is the best teacher" said the one professor who gave me the "B" I earned. I missed a 4.0 because I didn't do an extra credit assignment he gave me. 2 stinking points was all I needed....2 stinking points!

Or you could wear it and say that despite the pin, you self identify as a marginal student, then get offended when they accuse you of being a smart person.
I'm still a rebel. I would wear it and then have a victim breakdown if they tried to either kick me out or make me take it off. How dare they embarass me like that! Hey, it's the system they've put in place. We need to start using it to abuse their idiocy.
-
So, what's next, the entire class gets to do validictory addresses individually, so the ones who aren't the top of the class don't feel bad?

Make sure someone is recording it with their cell phone and post it on Youtube. It will go viral.

I remember high school. The only people that care about that honor society crap are the people that are in it and their parents. Trust me, the other kids don't care.

Spoken like a bitter failure, who hated the other kids for succeeding. Good socialist point of view.
It's so much better to stay low and avoid excelling because the slackers might feel jealous and take it on you and all...

Fixed that for you.

Not next, already happening. Solution seems to be,
You have many valedictorians...
http://schoolsofthought.blogs.cnn.com/2013/06/06/oregon-high-school-has-29-valedictorians/
Or have no valedictorians....

The National Honor Society refused to induct my sister, who was valedictorian of her class, because she was Jewish. Never had any use for them after that. I wasn't class valedictorian, but I was in the top five. I suspect I'd have been the valedictorian has I given a rats ass. And even had I been, I'd not have considered wearing some sort of pin because of it.

Well, graduating high school outside of the National Honor Society's jurisdiction meant that I was never offered the opportunity. As the top in my class in high school, I was however awarded the Governor General's Bronze Medal, and had to make a speech at my graduation ceremony.
I remember the speech mainly because I had joked to my mom that I'd write it the night before. She did not take kindly to that notion, and made me write it a couple weeks out. Then, the day before at rehearsal I decided the speech was a load of crap and threw it in the garbage and wrote a new one the night before the ceremony, just as I had predicted!

another possibility: someone in the NHS who didn't get any respect from the other kids

I had to give a speech too. Don't recall it at all, but I bet it was funny.
