Vanderbilt U. Students Demand School Cut Ties With Wendy’s
Posted by Aleister Tuesday, March 21, 2017 at 10:30am
Is anyone else getting tired of kids who have never worked a day in the real world making demands on schools and companies? Some of today’s students seem to think activism is the only reason they’re in school.

They wanted their schools to end contracts with Wendy’s unless the company commits to respecting farmworker human rights by joining the Fair Food Program.

We've really got to cut federal funding to our colleges and students.
Less money for social justice programs and less mushy heads to feed them to.

Vandy is considered a rich kids' school. I'd wager not one of them has done a single %*&# thing for an actual farmworker - or any other blue collar worker - in their entire privileged lives.

I suggested farm work to an idiot screaming for $15 for fast food employees and you would have thought I suggested selling himself into slavery.
He tried telling me that farm work only pays 2 or 3 bucks per hour and illegals did it because they didn't have any choice. Back in the mid 80s I made $5 to $7 per hour under the table working on a local dairy farm. Today that same farm is paying $12 to $15 per hour for the same work and hiring illegals because most of the local kids won't do it anymore.

I remember kids in my high school in the 60s and 70s working at the local "truck farm." No one thought it was beneath him.

It was No Nukes when I was in school. There was a No Nukes rally/teach-in on campus and they asked the school administration to sign a pact with them. The school responded "We promise not to use nuclear weapons preemptively."
The group wanted a nuclear-proof secret military area under the gym vacated. That didn't happen. When my son did his official tour of the school, we got to go into the nuclear-proof secret military area which is now a storage area. Very cool.
