I am old enough to be these kids' grandfather, and they have my full support and best wishes. They are demanding that authority BE legitimate, which is what every single one of us should be demanding.<br /><br />-- Ivan WeissAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-16344573968926054622014-10-22T21:54:16.362-07:002014-10-22T21:54:16.362-07:00I actually read the students' manifesto about ...I actually read the students' manifesto about the police and it's extremely troubling. I understand that there are racist incidents that happen with police and that there are some bad cops. But this manifesto states that all police are part of a corrupt system and that police work in general as descended from the Runaway Slave Patrol. Wow.<br />In a neighborhood which is begging for more policing to stop the frequent shootings, murders and other violent crimes, assuming that the police are the enemy (regardless of any specific evidence) is counter-productive.<br />To have students proclaiming that all authority is inherently corrupt and repressive is damaging to their futures and their communities and should not be encouraged by any responsible adults.<br />Momof2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-88049560209007423672014-10-22T21:13:45.772-07:002014-10-22T21:13:45.772-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-55398627938067107912014-10-22T18:31:57.275-07:002014-10-22T18:31:57.275-07:00Kudos to the students!
I have to agree with Melis...Kudos to the students!<br /><br />I have to agree with Melissa and GHSmom that it looks like extortion. The district keeps on asking parents to raise 10s of thousands of dollars in scant days to keep teachers at their schools (remember the situation at Gatewood Elementary?). I have difficulty believing that the district recently discovered the funding issues and couldn't have given parents a few months to raise money. Or that they couldn't use reserves to cover it.mosfetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-57560237084153193682014-10-22T14:16:54.611-07:002014-10-22T14:16:54.611-07:00(Sarcastically) Oh c'mon, you GHS parents can ...(Sarcastically) Oh c'mon, you GHS parents can raise those funds, can't you?<br /><br />It does look like extortion.Melissa Westbrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179994245880629080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-75226683637860164752014-10-22T14:15:22.750-07:002014-10-22T14:15:22.750-07:00The deadlines for coming up with large amounts of ...The deadlines for coming up with large amounts of money so that 150 students don't have a hole in their schedule are unbelievable--two days to raise $94K.<br />GHSmomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-40177141178467751572014-10-22T14:06:36.642-07:002014-10-22T14:06:36.642-07:00The PTSA letter says the protest is Thurs. 10/23 a...The PTSA letter says the protest is Thurs. 10/23 at 1:50<br />GHSmomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-35385234633609675022014-10-22T14:05:14.894-07:002014-10-22T14:05:14.894-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-61473318586005372692014-10-22T13:46:50.954-07:002014-10-22T13:46:50.954-07:00Last time Garfield rattled the establishment, the ...Last time Garfield rattled the establishment, the nation listened and the district backed off.
