Advertising in Schools

The role and appropriateness of advertising in our society leave much room for debate – buses and billboards – to name a couple issues. But when it comes to our schools . . . to the children of Madison . . . I think it deserves even more scrutiny. And when that advertising can lead to death, it deserves and even higher level of scrutiny. I really appreciate the folks raising the level of consciousness about this issue. Join them on Monday if you can or sign their petition!

BRING THE ADS DOWN!
Rally to stop Army ads in our schools!

Monday, Feb. 4th
Madison School District Doyle Administration Building
545 W. Dayton Street
6:30pm

Rally to remove the army recruiting advertisements from our high school
scoreboards! Join us to encourage a broader segment of the Madison
public to actively oppose these ads!

The ads violate the School Board’s own policies. Broad public pressure
is needed to cause the School Board to act. While the School Board has
not even placed the matter on their agenda for discussion, students have
been viewing the ads for over four months already in their gyms and
sports arenas. With most of the Madison School Board’s work on hiring a
Superintendent behind them now, there are no more excuses for the Board
not to take up this issue now. At the rally we will also be launching a
public petition drive to oppose the ads. Please join us at the rally on
MONDAY, Feb. 4th, to renew our call to bring down the ads. Bring
colorful signs or carry our signs at the rally. Bring the Ads Down!
