“The American teenager is apathetic, fat, lazy and completely ignorant of the facts and issues of the world,” world studies and history teacher Matinga Ragatz said. “That’s the stereotype right? And they want to break that stereotype, kill that stereotype. And say you know what, we are aware, we understand.”
“There will be more human interest stories,” Ragatz said. “Our first story is about a boy whose parents have lost work because of the economy. Also, activism stories, any student who is doing something, whether it’s this project or whatever. Then there is the school announcements, and school news. But it’s not going to be trying to be funny. Hopefully when the teachers turn off the TV they can turn around to their students and go ‘Oh my gosh, what do you think? I mean that issue!’ And have a conversation about it. That’s the goal.”
