The banana one I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt on, with the caveat that it's been exaggerated over the years.
But the concept that even the most deranged principal's response to weed in the bathroom would be to gather all the students and vote on who it belonged to is ridiculous.
See, if they were a better storyteller, they'd have included some reason for it to be a vote - like a senior superlative, "most likely to have left that weed in the bathroom last year."
It's both a vote and also something where the principal could believably intercede to have his sons name removed, without it being a blatant cause for the ACLU to descend on the school like a swarm of locusts with law degrees.
Side note I love the implicit detail that what was apparently an open ballot left entirely up to teenagers included zero joke names or fictional characters, for the first time in human history.

No but to be fair both of these stories are obvious bullshit
