GSA was fun after school. It really got me thinking about our school, and how much we need to change some things. We recently had a teacher leave because they were done with all the hate stuff that was going on. They were a really good teacher too. Our school is a pretty good school already, with an awesome theatre department, AMAZING FOOTBALL TEAM, GO FREAKING SKYHAWKS, and really good college prep classes, but we still need improvement with our hate crime stuff thats going on. Not just with the gay stuff, but all together. Our school needs plays like the Laramie project to show us just how impacting hate can be. Plays like that should never again be canceled at our school. No matter how many parents call and complain. Its an after school play. They/their kids don't have to see it. But they should, and they shouldn't be telling our principle how to run her school. Let her be. Take your kid somewhere else if its so offensive you have to have such an important play canceled like that. Come on Parents, Come on Amy Gordon, Come on southridge students, and Come on southridge staff, we need to come together as a school, and improve our environment so that it can be a better, friendlier, and most important, more respecting environment, so kids can walk in our halls feeling safe, and sit in our classrooms and focus on their studies, more than worrying about being bullied for a difference they cannot change. Its a task that is very achievable, so why can't we achieve it?
On a less serious note, my throat has been hurting, and I get super tired from just walking up the stairs. I am going to be super sick tomorrow, but of course I am still going to school, I can't miss another day =/ Plus, we are running through our pantomimes, and I cannot afford to not be there for it. Hopefully I can sneak a nap or two in? haha. I hate days like tomorrow were you have to toughen up more than you ever planned to. uuuugggghhh. Hello lots of water, and lots of meds.
GO SKYHAWKS!!!!
