Petition to Classify Westboro Church as a Hate Group Goes Viral
The Christian Fundamentalist and Aryan brotherhood reject church in Westboro may soon be classified as a “hate group” now that a petition has become the most popular petition ever.
The most popular petition was submitted on Dec. 14, the same day as the school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., an incident that Westboro responded to by announcing its intent to picket the funerals of the 26 victims, including 20 young children. This plan made them a prime target of hacktivist group Anonymous and eventually drew a well-attended counter-protest to block the church’s followers from disrupting the services.

A group of protesters who had been heckling the cops began jeering, “Here’s the guy that will storm the Kremlin. Be ready boys! Here he comes!”
Detroit Students Suspended For Demanding Education
Detroit is the beginning of the end for America, but until then it can stand to disprove the idea that a country is only as good as its poorest city. The root of all its problems, guns, violence, black people and no education.
They gathered outside the building amid cries of “We want… education! When do we want it? Now!”
Parents reportedly organized the march after the consistent absence of a number of teachers and the dismissal of the principal. Students had allegedly been out of lessons for weeks due to a shortage of staff.
Parent and pupils alike were taken aback when Frederick Douglass was no longer listed as an application school in the district, meaning that current students had to re-apply to attend the next academic year.
“We’ve been wronged and disrespected and lied to and cheated,” said senior Tevin Hill to local newspaper, the Detroit Free Press.
