the brown bag prophet
stopped me
and said
he had
a question
for me
he asked
if students
must meet
quantitative standards
to graduate
doesn’t it seem appropriate
that school board members
also meet
some standards
like
knowing the difference
between
a political agenda
and
a curriculum
maybe
having
read
the books
they want to ban
or
at least
be able
to
read
and
comprehend
the deeper meaning
of
the lorax
