A story I wrote for the library, Made An Example (search under Dave Caldewell), has a similar student protest theme.
I'm old enough to remember the Corry, PA, paddling of the 70-some students from 1968 or so that JohnS47 details. I think the issue was that other school districts had declared a day off and they were the exception. So these students took the day off unsanctioned. I had a newspaper clipping on file about it for a time but it's now lost. |
