#Walkout215

Thousands of students walked out of class Friday May 17th to say no to drastic budget cuts that will eliminate extracurriculars, nurses, support staff and other programs in schools. They marched from the Phila. School District Headquarters at 440 N. Broad street to City Hall, closing down traffic for the afternoon hours.

Kids skipping school in order to save their schools... children of the world, we must learn from this. You go, Philadelphia!

The fact that they would even consider this stuff is just horrible.

Rise like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable NUMBER!
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fall'n on you
YE ARE MANY - THEY ARE FEW!

as a white person, i hate to see that these budget cuts hurt blacks and other non-whites in particular....bullshit. i refuse to use the word 'minority', because i consider it condescending. i also don't use the pc 'african american' because calling someone black is as offensive as calling someone white, but calling them any form of ''african", even though they were born and raised in the US, is completely inaccurate. how does one's melanin level dictate their worth? It doesn't.
