It isn't an organized protest designed to shed light on a specific problem plaguing our country. It's the much longed for never-ending recess, and the children are demanding the best playground possible. When they don't get it? They throw a temper tantrum at the teacher. And what's makes this an even more perfected Shakespearean five act is that the children now have the power of attorney, and the sleazeballs are more than willing to make a few dollars to ensure "justice" for the children who want their recess to be perfect.
