Hypocracy Stinks
Television, movies, video games, and celebrities like Paris Hilton have been America's main targets for a long time. People complain that the targets are the reason why the nation's children are in such bad shape. They STRONGLY believe that kids pick up terrible habits, like...let's say smoking, from the images shown by the entertainment industry. But what about the real life adults of the world, like parents, politicians, and school administrators? Are they setting a good example for their children? Sadly, if they weren't, most adults would't admit it. We definitely need more people, or should I say children, like Central High School student Eliazar Velasquez from Rhode Island.
Velasquez caught his school principal, Elaine Almagno, violating a state law that prohibits smoking within 25 feet of a school building. After taking a few pictures of Almagno and exposing them on a website, his school gave him a special reward...suspension. But thanks to the American Civil Liberties Union, Velasquez sentence was lifted.
