    Where do you go to school that the sentence, “Sorry I’m late, protests caused the traffic to come to a stop.” would force you to give up your right to have an education?

      The school didn’t give out detentions for people being late that day because hundreds of students AND teachers were late. The detention wasn’t the consequence, it was the fact that people missed entire lessons, teachers couldn’t set up, it disrupted the entire day for everyone.

      These morons decided that their pettiness exceeded anyone’s desire or need to work or learn. And because of that I refuse to see any reason to be sympathetic to them.

      Why am I, and all the people working hard to educate themselves and others, inconvenieced instead of the gigantic oil companies that will have a greater impact on the planet in 1 year than all of us will in 100. These people should be ashamed of themselves.

        That must be how innocent white people felt when their meals that they paid for were interrupted by black people illegally sitting in their restaurants. The other diners weren’t to blame. Why didn’t the protesters just go after Big Restaurant and leave the law abiding diners to exercise their right to dine in peace?
