Trying to Make a Statement

On Friday, as I walked through the staff parking lot to get into the school building, a student holds a stuff cow with a sign stuck on it that said, "Meat is Murder." The student, along with two friends, shyly approaches me and said, "Meat is murder. Save the cow."

First of all, young animal-rights activist, if you're going to even become an activist, you better start learning how to use a proper aggressive voice because your meek tones didn't grab my attention. Second, if you believe in a cause, better research it. As the teacher behind me pointed out, "Right... save the cow. She was wearing leather shoes."

The strange things kids do these days to grab attention...
