Aw, listen to how sweet these Michigan junior high kids are, you guys. They wanted to hold a fundraiser for Travyon Martin's family: [T]he students wanted to help Martin's family and asked the school's administrators if they could pay $1 each to wear hoodies instead of school uniform for a day, the [Southern Poverty Law Center] said. It said the school regularly has fundraisers in which students can "dress down."
NEVER, EVER EVER read the Yahoo or (shudder) Youtube comments. You've been online long enough to know that, young man. You have only yourself, and human Evil, to blame.
What a beacon light of post-racial society this school is, firing that obviously racist teacher for being racist by supporting the family of a deceased black child!
(oops, that was supposed to say "repost", not "report")
Looks like she was running low, too.
I also note from the report of his link on this thread, Brooke Harris won Teacher of the Year twice in the last three years.
Yeah, I'm snarkless.
And the first student who quotes that MLK paragraph will be expelled.
If they weren't, they probably are now.

You know who else was a child of the civil rights movement...
<i>&ldquo;this is not the time in the school year&rdquo; to distract students from academics.</i>
She is right; Trayvon should have known better than to get shot so close to midterms.
Well, you know <em>those people</em> will bang anything that moves.
Because if there&#039;s one thing the civil rights movement knew, it&#039;s that justice delayed is justice more awesomer, or something.
And also that suspending and then firing their teacher is the way to reduce the distraction. Yeah, that&#039;ll work.
