First off, I would like to make a point that is bugging me; a point that I think effects people beyond me. It's more than a personal peeve; it's a topical complaint.

For those of you who don't know, a new proclamation has been made in lieu of a few disrespectful individuals. This is, anyone who is not "enrolled" in band cannot sit in the band hallway at lunch. This, to me, is ludicrous.

First of all, it is a HALLWAY, one cannot ban a kid from standing in the hallway. I could see if it were the band room, but it's not- its the hallway.

Second, it's simple segregation. (Which I know sounds lame, but bear with me,) Say your in science, you love science- your an ace at AP Chemistry. However, they don't let you eat in the science hallway. The only way to get out of the Lunch-room Nazi's gaze is if you say your eating in the band room. How then can they say "only band people" when people of other classes don't have a place they can go? At the very basic level, it's unfair. At a higher level, it's discriminatory. For me, all my lunch-mates are a member of band. I'm not. Because of that small detail I can't sit in a hallway?

Third, there is no room in the lunch room! If given the choice to gather with friends, in a slightly quieter space to enjoy lunch, wouldn't you take it? I can honestly say If I'm forced to leave, I'm not afraid to start anything to counter this. Petitions, a group sit in, whatever it takes. It doesn't make sense. I have only thirty short minutes a day to enjoy with my friends, and The Dragon Of the Hobbit is attempting to take that away from me?

I won't stand for it. It's a freakin' hall way.
