Please stop for the dead.

So, Apparently that stupid foreword is going around again. no surprises here. which one, you ask? The Sept. 11th one. 

"What?" you say,"why don't you agree with it? what about that dead presidents bit? makes sense."

well, I just think that were I one of those people that died that day, I would not want all educational progress halted simple because I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Quite the opposite, actually. I, personally, think that on september eleventh almost more than any other day we should have school. We should go and be grateful for our chance to do what those unfortunate people in the towers will never be able to do again. to live, to learn, to just be. Yes, we should remember them, but while we learn, while we work, while we live. I feel that that is what almost every single one of them would want that more than a day when we sat and thought nothing of them because we had a free day to fuck around with our friends.

As for the day off for the dead presies bit, I feel the same way about those, so if you really want to sound like you care about people that died, send around a text that says "on presidents day this year, show up at school and beat on the doors until they let you in. drag the teachers to their class rooms, and make them teach you, because it's what George, Abe, and every other good dead soul that's passed on would want."

So don't pretend you're a good person because you don't want school on Sept. 11th. you only want it so you have an excuse to fuck off, and you know it. so shut the hell up.

*disclaimer: I like presies day and every other day like it because I like to fuck off and have no school, but thats cause I'm a cynical, hypocritical bastard that's going to Hell.
