Students and graduates of Central Falls High School decide to take a stand against massive numbers of teachers pink slipped, giving a peaceful demonstration in the neighborhood. They protested the lack of concern that they believe Obama was giving students:
"He doesn't know us. He doesn't know the teachers. He doesn't know the students. I think it's a real outrage what's happening here." said Nikko Calle, 21, a graduate of Central Falls High School in 2006.
Some students had the opinion that Obama had turned a blind eye to the necessities of his supporters. One protester, Ashley Delgado, held a sign stating: Dear Obama, I supported you, your causes, goals and beliefs. Why aren't you supporting mine?
Many have even resorted to peeling the bumper sticker off their vehicles...
Budget cuts have obviously created a dent in many educational system but at what point will a child's chance of getting a decent education be severely jeopardized due to the lack of faculty and materials? The Obama administration really has some strings to tie if they plan to run for executive office again...
