Forever the sport of frisbee has impacted the minds and hearts of many formidable men, from the old stone discs of latter day to the LED ridden frisbees of today. I and the other founders took a nice Tuesday ELO, not just to be outside and enjoy the weather while engaging in physical activity, but to go on an adventure and to look deep into ourselves to discover what is good and what is right through this truly magical sport. We played and we learned and we were outside and we were happy. We received several words and looks on from onlookers from windows whom we invited to play courteously; as we would anyone be they a teacher, principal, student, or other related school figure (no, cordiality has not died yet). We had done no property damage, we had sold no drugs, we had not interrupted others trying to learn or study, we had simply enjoyed the beautiful afternoon.
We then returned inside and we're confronted by the other two's ELO teacher and my foster ELO teacher. She was slightly distressed and worrysome, and she asked us about what we had done. She was worried about getting crap about this from here bosses at our fair school for our (apparently) hanus crime. I wasn't really sure where I was going with this at first, but now I have an idea. She wouldn't get crap for us going out and having a good time; however, she would get crap for not adhering to a mindlessly written and counterproductive policy enforced solely for the satisfaction of the ego a leader gets when everyone fears and obeys them. The teacher's conundrum is that they have something to lose, something that a boss can threaten them with to keep them from disobeying. This is of course the threat of being fired. Certainly we would hope that a teacher or any teacher would know where money and security come before what is right, just, and practical no longer. While its sad that we live in a world where we allow money to be able to compromise our morals, it is also true that we as students have little to lose and nothing to fear other than our right to public education which (based on circumstance) almost becomes a place to be uneducated. A place to help form us into "good Americans" and to promote docile, predictable, fearful, dependent, and obedient behavior which of course are the best traits of the consumer, the student, and the worker in the eyes of the controllers of these peoples. With little to fear we encourage students to disobey anywhere they see fit within reasonable means. If it's nice outside during ELO, go outside. If any unfounded punishment is administered, quietly explain why you did what you did, and why it was okay to do what you did. Even go so far as to request one of the Splooge writers be present at your meeting with a principal and refuse to speak and sign anything until your demands are met. Maybe we can call some more attention to ridiculous rules this way.
Teachers reinstate your conscience, you should be the ones in charge anyway, that's the only thing we all agree on. Once you get tired of the stupid crap we know you have to go through, we'll support you completely in standing up for what is, let's say, not retarded. Once we get our school back, maybe we can play some frisbee together.
