Proposal Meets With Unexcitement
The Foxhill High student council was less than enthusiastic over a pitch to make March "Native American History Month". Anne Fratelli, whose maternal grandmother was half Iroquois, presented the 24 minute proposal to the board during 9th period Monday afternoon.
Derek LeJeune, school council treasurer elect, described the presentation as "bullshit. I mean, she made two different Powerpoint presentations and a puppet show. A puppet show?! I'm going to be late to lacrosse practice."
Council President Kim Yung Chen could barely keep his eyes open. "Didn't we learn about longhouses in 7th grade? Did I just hallucinate for thirty minutes or was that the dumbest thing I've ever heard?"
One reason for the board's lack of concern was the "Asian American Month" proposed last week by Stephanie Wu, who is only 1/4 Japanese. Said Chen, "This school is now 14% Asian-American, and we represent 9 of the top 10 leaders in overall GPA, the top Tae Kwan Do atheletes, 75% of the Math Club, and we are making inroads into Campus Crusade. Obviously we're more likely to approve Stephanie's idea."
Sudong Pok, Vice President, agreed with Chen. "She designed a small rail road that we could build to unite the East and West campuses of the school." Although the campuses are separated by a mere 90 yards, Pok voted for the proposal, even if it meant diverting funds from the Gay/Lesbian/Transengendered car wash, because the railroad would "increase school unity, which was one of my campaign promises."
Regarding her quickly forgotten "Native American Month" idea, Fratelli was cautiously optimistic. "I think they really liked the puppet show about the Seneca Confederation."
