Newsflash: Kids of the Croatan

May 19, 2006 at 3:04 pm | In Middle |

First it was the New York Times. Then, we heard them on Talk107’s Youth Points with Lockwood Phillips…and we didn’t think it could get much bigger. Now the Broad Creek Middle School student-activists have been featured on ABC’s World News Tonight (video from Saturday, May 20, at 6:30). Reporter John Yang of ABC spent a day at BCMS capturing their story.

These students and their teacher have created a buzz heard around the world. Here are some more waves the “Kids of the Croatan” have made in the blogosphere:

  1. I am very proud of what you people are doing. You have come to the awareness far ahead of many of whom who call themselves adults. It took our Creator possibly a hundred years to create what man can now destroy with a chainsaw and a bulldozer in a matter of hours.

    Eight years ago I would have had the privilege of saying to you at the time of the morning announcements to the pupils at Broad Creek Middle School, “Have a good “Bulldog day”. It was my pleasure to serve as principal of Broad Creek at that time. I say to you now, “Have a good “Bulldog day” and I would had I am very proud of you.
