I've seen topics up here before, and how they were bashed because of it was "against the school" but I just wanted to get this out.
The current school that I go to is a public school in Southern Jersey. A democratic state but a very conservative republican county. The school has a program called S.W.A.P. which stands for Southern Worship and Prayer. It's a prayer group for the school, which I find completely unappropriate in a school enviroment. Every year they have a massive prayer in front of the school and it should be coming up soon.
The school allows them to post fliers all over the school such as "meet outside for prayer!" or "SWAP come join us!" People don't think to much of them but last year I almost got suspended for putting up political anti-bush and anti-imperialist posters on the wall. (I have to say that they were very well made too :D).
The day I did it I put them up everywhere with two other friends helping me. I got called down to the office and was told "You can't put posters on the wall. You may have freedom of speech outside the school but inside there are rules."
I'm on the shcool paper this year and I know that we really don't have free speech for the paper. The board has to approve all articles. I find this obsurd.
Last night me and my friend have come up with a brilliant idea. "Let's put posters up again only this time, lets make sure no one sees us put them up and lets put them in areas where only students go. All over student bathrooms, lockerroom, student stairwells." So today at 7am, before school opens, before the teachers are in, we are going into the school and posting fliers all over the areas where we picked.
Most of them showing awareness how our rights are being taken away, about the RFID chip in humans, etc etc. Shocking stuff. We have this one poster that says "IF WE SPEAK THE TRUTH THEY WILL TRY TO SILENCE US" and it has my cell number on the bottom. :) Just a way for people to get in touch with more information.
Anyway, I'll update with pictures and how else it went on. If anyone wants to see the posters email me at [email protected]
I'm actually kinda excited for school ^_^
