Protest comes to IUK
As many of my Indiana University Kokomo readers may have heard, a protest will being coming to our campus this Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. in the Quad.
What will this protest be about you may ask? Well, I am glad that you asked because the protest will not be about the Iraq War. The protest will not be about the genocide in Darfur. No, it will not even be about the treatment of all of our veterans.
The protest taking place will be over mandatory classroom attendance and a professor's right to implement it into the college classroom at my university.
For me, it is an unfortunate event simply because there are so many other things that are more important than having the right to skip class without be penalized for it.
Right now, we have young men and women fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan who need people making their voices heard about how they get the shaft in benefits when they come home.
Right now, we have not had any major Education reform since the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 which has never been fully funded.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, these issues will not be discussed when protest comes to IUK on Tuesday.

You have got to be kidding me...Do people really believe that a protest about attendance will do anything at all? Who is organizing this excuse whine about something that is of no real consequence?
Don't they realize that in the "real world" attendance is mandatory, non-attendance cannot only result in a low grade (poor review/no raises) but also in termination? (NO JOB)
People are idiots.
