“Playing Hooky For Gun Control”? Jesus, that’s brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that when I was in high school? What kind of heartless monster would punish you for cutting class if you claimed you were doing it for a noble cause?
I can only imagine how well “Sorry, I’m not doing any more Trigonometry homework until someone does something about the starving children in Africa!” would have flown. I could have been invited to sing "We Are the World" at LiveAid instead of having to take the stupid useless SAT.
