YHS ADMINISTRATION LEFT SPEECHLESS
So Thursday, March 23, 2016, an assembly took place inside the new gym at Yuma High School. In the beginning, it just started, in the end, everyone was asked to rise for the "Yuma High Fight Song." We did not stand. We were ENRAGED. So when it was over, We had waited for the assistant principal just outside the cafeteria, and that took about 10 minutes, and then the assistant principal guided us to his office, here is the transcription of what had happened:
TYREE: What's up?
US: This. (I pulled out a pamphlet from my back pocket containing the US Constitution)
TYREE: Why'd you throw it on the table like that?
US: Because, nothing's being done. It's already beaten enough. This school is beating a dead horse when it comes to this.
TYREE: Excuse me?
US: You told me on the 9th that the video put a "bad light on your school." right?
TYREE: Yeah, but what does that have to do with anything, it did.
US: (of course, we laughed, and:) No, it didn't. It woke people up. It showed people what's going on. What's putting a bad light on the school... is you. You are so focused on the reputation of the school -- that you aren't focused on the actual inner-success of the school. You may have Yuma High look good on the outside, but me personally, on the inside, it's absolute hell.
TYREE: What exactly are you saying?
US: You don't solve any of your problems!
We grabbed the assistant principal's jacket off the door, proclaiming "pretend this is a rug," then gathered the constitution pamphlet "my hand is a broom, and my book is your problems." We took the constitution and "swept" it under his jacket. Tyree sat back, speechless.
US: You're avoiding all your problems just to make sure Yuma High looks good. Not good.
TYREE: I just wanna thank you--
US: Don't play that with me, have a good day.
We grabbed our things, and left, hearing a faint voice from the office, "damn."
