what grade do you give this essay:

On the evening of December Rosa Parks decided that she was going to sit in the white people section on the bus in Montgomery, Alabama. During this time blacks had to give up there seats to whites when more whites got on the bus. Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. Her and the bus driver began to talk and the conversation went like this. “Let me have those front seats” said the driver. She didn’t get up and told the driver that she was tired of giving her seat to white people. “I’m going to have you arrested,” said the driver. “You may do that,” Rosa Parks responded. Two white policemen came in and Rosa Parks asked them “why do you all push us around?” The police officer replied and said “I don’t know, but the law is the law and you’re under arrest.

The first question I thought of as I was reading it was what grade was the student in.

EDIT: OK, I googled it. F.

If written by anyone over fifth grade it's sad. I'm not surprised though.

Ah yes, the "pass" for athletes, shouldn't be surprising to anyone as most schools spend more money on their athletic programs than their classes.

That seems like one of those stories that just has to be fake, but sadly that's not the case evidently. Truly a sad situation.

This. Jocks always get an easy pass at university's with money making athletic programs. These people are being cheated & don't even know it.
