Think of the Children

It's that time of year, when many students are finally graduating from high school, college, what-have-you. A friend of mine recently sent me a news story from Dallas/Fort Worth, of a group of high school students in organized protest because their failure to pass a standardized test was keeping them from walking through the commencement ceremony.

Now ordinarily, I'm not one to put much stock in test scores as a measure of intelligence. But this news story was accompanied by an image of a couple of the protesting students. Take a look at the sign on the left:


"Let Are Kids Walk"??? Dam strait -- give them they're just deserts four awl there hard work.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or shake my head. Or both.
