  • YAY. Still proud of you when I watch this video, Ben. I know I have already told you a million times, but GREAT JOB :)

  • thanks sahrah

  • I admire your courage, Ben. I'm glad I stumbled across this video. You're standing up for a cause that many kids believe in but can't put into words. I know for certain you made a significant change for a good purpose. Peace, brother.

  • Thanks a lot DL for the kind words. All I want is for more students to continue to stand up for themselves and their classmates so that the administrators of not just Birmingham, but all of LAUSD will realize the importance of treating students as individuals with needs, rather than just numbers in a role book. And I know that sounds cheesy, but I really mean it. Enough is enough! These decisions made at the school and district level truly will impact the rest of our lives.

  • Thank you for reminding me of the injustices I wanted to right when I entered the field of education.

  • Well done! As a teacher of LAUSD and alumni of the same district, I have seen both ends of the spectrum. I have come to this conclusion: your experience was not unique. As you stated, it is an insult that those responsible for your education should dismiss you, a student, so easily. Administrators and their like MUST adhere to there responsibilities as I adhere to mine. I promise you this: I will continue to put my students' interests/voice and education at the forefront of my teaching.

  • look for bujko lausd on youtube to see another video about lausd

  • My I hope you believe in God because a man like you could become a great Christian leader. I also hope your a Ron Paul fan.

  • hahaha just saw this ben, you never told me about it!

    You da man.

  • leeee-jit

  • Wow...I just saw this...I'm late to the party (realll late) Still, I thought that was damn sick. I'm adding this to my favorites, it's that kickass.

  • ben kicks ass anytime, like chuck norris
