Day 231 - Dinosaur Protests


Okay so I know that I didn't do ALL of the people in the photo as dinosaurs because that would've taken FOREVER. honestly, it would've! so instead this is just some dinosaurs going out to help protest the teacher's way of protesting. For those of you that don't know the ontario government just froze the wages of teachers and cut their benefits and took away their right to protest for the next 2 years so in response the teachers are protesting by not participating in any extra curricular activities or sports. We, the students, are outraged by this because extra curricular activities and sports are the things that make the whole high school experience more enjoyable and whatnot. So yesterday we protested. At 10:30 so senior students went into the hall and yelled: BRING ME A FORK and then all the students got up and out of their seats and took their stuff, and left. We walked out of the school and onto the school's lawn and the street/sidewalk and we got posters and pom poms and made noise and did some cheers and then we walked around the school and down a block and then did that again and the press was there and we hope we made a point. people were excited about it and wanted to do another one today but it was shut down by the principal he said that they had made their point yesterday and that he would suspend anyone that didn't go inside the school because they wanted to have an all day protest where no one would go inside the school. I didn't attend because i took a sick day today because i really wasn't feeling well this morning, but i'm feeling a bit better now :) well that's what's happening now! if you want to see a video about it click HERE and it will bring you to CTV news :) Thanks for viewing, keep calm and stay classy! :D
