Because Objection is So Clichéd…

I have this growing annoyance for a lot of students at my high school.
I am not annoyed [as of this moment] with the girls who wear about three inches of fabric in total, nor am I frustrated with the boys who don’t know how to dress themselves.
My issue lies with the kids who “dress revolutionary” without even understanding the implications. In particular, I have to pick on the “Che Disciples,” as I like to call them.
These are the guys who wear baggy camo pants/shorts and my least favourite shirt: THE CHE GUEVARA HEAD.
Do any of these kids know what Che did to those who disagreed with him?
He killed them.
Sounds like a great political system and a hero to the people.
I just wish these individuals, instead of trying to look cool, would just read a damn book and realize that Ernesto Guevara was a murderer and a hypocrite.
He started out wanting to help the poor people of South America… but only if he could control them. It makes sense, after all, that his right-hand man was Fidel Castro.

Seriously, the t-shirts need to stop.

I once saw on a bus seat the words: “CLICHE GUEVARA! Know what he stood for before you buy and endorse a philosophy that promoted violence and political oppression.” 

I want to meet the person who wrote those words.
