Students Learn Valuable Lesson..
« on: February 21, 2012, 10:24:46 AM »
For these Students, "Boycott" is apparently a new word

Quote
They demanded less menu repetition and more choice in what is served, including salads. President of the seventh-grade class Mckenzi Simmons said “boycott” was a vocabulary word in a recent Texas history class, and that students put what they’d learned into action. “All we wanted was for our voice to be heard and a chance at change,” said Mckenzi, 12. Superintendent Antonio Aguirre said his Austwell-Tivoli Independent School District offers free lunch to students and staff because a large portion of the district is deemed low-income by the state. Aguirre defended the school’s menus, saying they are based on policy set by the Texas Department of Agriculture — which provide specific nutritional guidelines for foods like fruits and vegetables, portion sizes and fried foods. But he also saluted the students for harnessing the “power of their own learning.” “Kids will say, `When am I ever going to use this stuff?”‘ Aguirre said about some classrooms. “Maybe those girls are our leaders of tomorrow. Somebody has to jump up and do something different.”

Hooray, a brand new bunch of young moochers, unsatisfied with the free stuff they were getting, banded together to demand better free stuff. Its an educational triumph!

Is Mckenzi a boy or a girl?  Whatever, doesn't matter...

But the kids managed to bring lunches from home for the four days of the boycott despite their "low income" status?

I see.  I am so sick of this sht ......

And, Libertas, McKenzi is a girl.

Apparently Mckenzi's parents can't spell "McKenzie" . I wonder if they can spell "boycott" . They probably think it's a bed in a men's dormitory .  ;D

The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living
are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.
