If high school guidance counselors are right and there is a ’’permanent record,’’ this is going on Michael Cameron’s: In 1998, he was suspended for wearing a Pepsi shirt on Coke Day.
School officials say the shirt was an insult to visiting Coca-Cola executives and ruined a school picture in which students lined up to spell out ’’Coke.’’
Mr. Cameron, a 19-year-old senior, said it was just a joke.
’’In my eyes, I didn’t do anything wrong,’’ he said today while serving his one-day suspension.
