#WeBackStrat

Hello everyone. So my small town Tupelo has been quite the hype this past week. Our school superintendent, Randy Shaver, wanted to replace our high school principal, Lee Stratton. Many people in the community didn't like this at all. I do have to say that I'm very proud of our little town for standing up for what they believe in. This past week, protests have taken place throughout the town, signs have been hung claiming "Shave off Shaver", t-shirts have been made to support Principal Stratton, and twitter has been filled with tweets with hash tags that say "#webackstrat" (hence the title of this post)...Tuesday night was a big deal in Tupelo. There was a city council meeting in which 3 parents in the community voiced their opinions on the school system's problems. Before that, there was a prayer rally where a group met and prayed about everything that was to be said in the meeting and marched to city hall. Tuesday is the same day in which Mr. Shaver stepped down from his position as superintendent. Tupelo has a long way to go before everything is solved but it's cool to experience everything going on.
