Support ‘All Time Low’, Say “NO H8!”…
As many of you know, an extremist group will be demonstrating in front of our school Monday morning, December 7th. Following the Harry Potter storyline, this group will only be referenced by the term, “They-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named”. This same group will also be demonstrating outside All Time Low’s December 6th concert at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia. This seems to be due to the band’s rejection of intolerant behavior.
The community has been asked not to participate in any type of counter-demonstration, or give their organization any type of acknowledgement at all. This pathetic group desires acknowledgement. They desire a confrontation. They desire press. It appears, by some accounts, that one of their motives is to provoke others into physical confrontations in order to sue. This would just help fund their cause. Though it goes against most of our emotional reactions, we should heed the advice of our school administration and past experts who have dealt with this group. Do not get into a scrap with them. Ignore them, as you would a flea.
In lieu of actively protesting or violating school dress code standards, we the students of East should passively voice our disdain for this group and also show support for the band that they are targeting, All Time Low. Wear shirts or other markings to show support for All Time Low. Some merchandise is available at Hot Topic and other music apparel stores.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed “ December 7th, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy.” Besides remembering the tragedy of that date, let’s make December 7th, 2009 a date that will live in infamy at CHHSE. Say NO H8!
