Talk:Council Rock High School North

Strike
I believe that the teacher's strike should be mentioned here. I have added information about it a few times over the years and it is always removed. The school district's page has information about it: "The Council Rock School District has had several instances of labor difficulties in the past few years. The most prominent occurred when all teachers went on strike, delaying the start of the 2002/2003 school year. A person painted the word “Greed” on the main sign in front of Council Rock North, creating the most iconic image of the strike. (The sign was later moved to another location at the renamed Council Rock North, and replaced with a new sign identifying the school as Council Rock North.)"
 * I first posted that nearly 2 years ago and nobody has raised any objection, so I am currently in the process of writing a section about the strike. Please do not revert it once it goes live, I want to talk about how to make it as good as possible. Andrewman327 (talk) 01:06, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

The actual rock
Until the most recent edit, this article stated that the actual "council rock" for which the district is named was located in Tyler State Park. The school district's own site also claims this is the location: (the community college and park are adjoining properties). The article was recently changed so that the location is Lorimer Park - I can find no support for this, and it was not sourced, so I'm changing it back for now. However, I also can't find any support for Tyler Park or Bucks County Community College. The only site I can find any support for is on Wissahickon Creek in Wissahickon Valley Park, though there is a write-up that claims that even this may be incorrect: "There is in fact little evidence that the Lenape lived along the Wissahickon. It is believed they came there to hunt and fish but that was all. Indeed, historians have found no evidence that so called “council rock” was ever used as a gathering spot and a visit to the location reveals a rather small bluff that would hardly be a good location for a mass gathering." Making matters more confusing is the community college's history - the George F. Tyler Mansion on the campus was formerly known as "Indian Council Rock", and the college claims it was named for "an adjacent cliff". Coincidentally(?), the Tylers previously lived in Chestnut Hill, very close to the Wissahickon site. Making any assumption from this last bit would be original research, but it seems likely to me that the Tylers named their new mansion for the Wissahickon site, and over the years the legend became convoluted locally. None of this belongs in the article without a reliable source, of course, but either way, it appears that the legend of the original physical "council rock" being located near Newtown is not supported by independent sources. --Fru1tbat (talk) 11:50, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
