What, no catering? What kind of low brow protest is this?

Teacher leads student walk-out protest; kids then ask ‘Where’s the food?’ and head home

Early this past week, teacher Michael Frassetto led a walk-out-of-class protest at the Allentown (Pennsylvania) School District because of the district’s alleged disdain for minority students.

“They don’t teach us anything,” Allen High student Elexus Wilson said. “They just give us papers and expect us to work without teaching us anything.” She added there is a “lack of textbooks” at her school.

Trexler Middle School student Keishlanis Echeverria added, “I’m walking because I think they should keep going with everything the kids like. They need to know how much we care about physical education. If they take that away from us, what is left?”

Frassetto, who “twice applied for jobs in Allentown,” currently teaches at the Medical Academy Charter School. He did not have his contract renewed for this year at the Roberto Clemente Charter School.

He and his protesters called for “a summer employment program and a representative on the school board who is chosen by the students.” They also want Superintendent Russ Mayo’s resignation.

But a good portion of the student “activists” were more excited about missing class — and eventually heading home and/or getting some grub:

… many of the students, who included area charter school students, were unsure why they were there. One joked it was to get out of class. Another said it was over school uniforms. “I don’t know,” one admitted.

Many lost interest and left the protest, while some called for rides as they made their way to the city’s statue of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King for what was to be a day of protest that included lessons.

As Frassetto and a small group spelled out their demands at the protest, many of the teenagers ate Chinese food, chatted with friends or walked away to do their own thing.
