Some News
pouring out teen angst and loving it since 2008
Some News was created in 2008 by Will at a certain North Texas public school.
Issues covered are the Constitution and how it affects students, the school, etc.
Issues are given out for free whenever we can.

If you want to write a article (must be about our Issues covered!) ask Will, but (of course) you'll have to be a student at this certain North Texas public school.

Staff:
Will - articles, design, web site

"There is nothing on earth intended for innocent people so horrible as a school" - George Bernard Shaw

The way I see it, school is slavery. They force kids, who have done nothing wrong, to go to a building for 6 hours a day where they are subjected to bullies, hours of work that we do not want to do, and teachers who think that they're actually doing good for society by forcing us to do work. They enforce this by calling kids who refuse to go truants and putting them and or their parents in jail. So basically it's do as you're told, be a good little boy and get good grades, or we'll throw you in jail punk. As a result, I have so far wasted 8 1/2 years of my life going someplace I don't want to go, and I am sick of it.

You would think that we as a society would have woke up by now to the fact that forcing people to go to school is just flat out morally wrong. There is no way to justify forced schooling, and yet they say it's for our own good! How is it even possible to jail somebody for their own good? Why are people so unable to accept somebody's decision to not go to school? It should be my decision, and mine alone on whether or not I got to school.

Now, what we go through is nothing compared to what black people went through hundreds of years ago. I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to have been a black slave back then, but school is still slavery, and it is still morally wrong. I like this quote from Harriet Tubman:

“I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.”

It is still relevant today. Many kids in school do not realize that they are slaves! They're so brainwashed by the school, by their parents, and in some cases by religion that they can't comprehend the possibility that school is slavery. We must spread the anti-school message and rebel if there is to be any chance of us ever being free. Blacks fought for civil rights for years, and eventually they did get them. It may be too late for our generation, but what about our kids, and our kids’ kids? Do we want them to be subjected to the same thing we were? I certainly do not.

2/4/09:
SN is dead.
12/16/08:
I gave out Issue Three yesterday without a hitch and the distrobution will continue tomorrow.
I've also made each issue a .txt (text file). That means ASCII text only and no pictures or other eye candy. But come on, it must look cool, eh?
12/12/08:
Issue Three has been finished and put on the site. Expect it to be distributed on the 15th.

11/20/08:
Issue Three is now in the works, and in other news, SN will now be written at my house (my printer now works.), and copied at Kinko's.

11/19/08:
Some News is currently in some serious dire straits.
"Seriously, people" from Issue Two was deemed "not suitable" for the school by one teacher and the Admin doesn't want SN distributed on school property.
The fate of SN is now on a tightrope, but if we can't distribute in print anymore, SN will become web-only.

11/18/08:
Added The Cutting Room, where I place articles that didn't make it, stuff that didn't make the Admin happy, and other odds 'n ends.
Added header graphics to all pages except the Home page.
