I'd most certainly get a call from the school.

"It says on this form that you want your child to go by Deez at school, can you explain?

"Yeah Deez nuts, stop wasting time with this nonsense "

Sadly, it's not the schools fault for the waste of time, it's the fuckle-chucks in the legislature. Every single name change request should be routed to the dumbass that authored the bill, then to every other dumbass that voted in favor of it.

I'm joking of course, but yeah that should be what happens. Worked in the school system and seen that "WTF are you serious?" look in school staff meetings hearing stupid stuff like this get implemented. I actually left because I had enough of dealing with these parents who make this happen and dealing with them was just too much.

Emails, calls, people would come in, they were in the PTA, just always around harassing people over the most petty things. I can't tell you how many grown adults I've seen meltdown in a school front office. The pay sucked, some of the parents were awful , but working with kids was awesome.
