Protesting QC students shout; “Save the plot.”

Nov 19, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
“Save the plot” was just one of the many things that the students of Queen’s College said while protesting. The Ministry of Education began tearing down part of the agricultural science plot to build a multi complex canteen. Men came in trucks and started cutting down the trees with chainsaws and other equipment etc.
For years now, the agricultural science students have used the plot for their school based assessment (SBA) activities such as land clearing. Food from a canteen that is right next to a chicken pen isn’t hygienic or tasty at all. Chicken waste in food isn’t delicious, but maybe the Ministry thinks that it is. Besides, cutting down trees isn’t environmentally friendly. Agricultural science talks about the benefits of subsistence farming. In these modern times when people think of food they think of places such as “Dairy Queen, Pizza Hut etc.”
People do not think about fruits and vegetables, real, healthy, wholesome food. The majority of people in the United States of America are overweight simply because of the growing fast food industry. Children in America scorn the very sight of a carrot. The “McDonalds” fast food chain is known for trashing the Amazon rainforest for cheap fast food. This is the same thing happening here. The Ministry of Education apparently now wants students to do well at the “CSEC” examinations by ruining their SBAs. Save our plot!
