Post: James Meeks proposes kids skip 1st day of school
Posted by Annie on 7/29/08
I read this morning that Illinois Senator James Meeks is
organizing a protest that calls for children to skip the
first day of school. This is very sad and unfortunate for
those kids. When thinking about issues that involve kids
and as leaders in our nation, we should always ask "what is
best for kids?" Senator Meeks call for kids to skip the
first day is not what is best for school. If he disagrees
with the inequality in school funding (which is the reason
he is protesting it), he needs to call on the adults of
Illinois to take action, not the youth. Unfortunately,
Senator Meeks is not a good role model for the black
community and find it unfortunate that he will go down in
our history as being a Senator.
