Ethan Lopez to Obama: “Our school is in big trouble.”
March 23, 2009
Ethan Lopez, 8, a student at Frank del Olmo Elementary School in LA’s Korea Town, spoke politely but firmly as he addressed President Obama yesterday.
“Hi, my name is Ethan. President Obama, our school is in big trouble because our budget cuts . . . 25 of our teachers already have [received] pink slips.”
He then handed the president a folder full of letters written by his classmates.
Obama didn’t really respond to Ethan’s question.
