Live Olympic footage in our classrooms..

After a long heated arguement, a Calgary, Alberta Anarchist walked out of their local school with another student following in solidarity.

Originally starting when a student approached a teacher asking them to turn off (or to relocate the screen to an area where students aren't trying to study)the Olympic events being projected onto a large screen, a furious argument broke out between the student and several (over 5)teachers. With the threat of security and police to escort them out for "foul language" and disobeying their instructions to move to a different area and "stop disrupting the other students", they planted themselves in their chairs and refused to leave quietly.

Upon an agreement with the principal and the two students, they vacated the premisis with a free day off school and no repercussions. Rest assured, force will be absolutely necessary to escort them out during the remaining days of the Olympics, if they continue to air it in the student work area.

Solidarity to all those fighting the Olympics.

whoooooo cares

whoooooo cares

Really? I thought it was

Really? I thought it was pretty cool to see this post. I didn't have my shit together enough that I would actually stand up for it when I was in highschool. These folks expressed their dissent in a way that forced the administration to compromise, and not force them to remain on school grounds if the institution was going to broadcast olympics. This seems about the equivalent of obtaining concessions from an employer through workplace organizing.

Keep it up!

Yea f'real, these kids are

Yea f'real, these kids are tight.

thirded. i wish i was that

thirded. i wish i was that on the ball in high school.

Let me get this straight.

Let me get this straight. Two crybabies throw a hissy fit and disrupt all the other students and adults in attendance because they aren't getting their way?

I agree with the first poster, whooooo carrrreeessss.

Bad behavoir gets reward,

Bad behavoir gets reward, what kind of message is this school sending out?

sounds like they were

sounds like they were broadcasting a message about the Olympics being a celebration of corporate sponsored nationalism that tolerates no dissent.

Trolls =/= logic.
