BRISTOL, Conn. – West Bristol school library assistant Judy Michaud has created quite a group of global justice advocates.

Fourteen primary school students presented articles this week to parents, family members and local politicians as part of the West Bristol School Howler Newspaper Club, and their covering some pretty heavy political topics: child labor, human rights, hunger, gender equality, species extinction and other global justice causes.

The publication explains that students were allowed to select their own story subjects last year, but “we wanted to tackle something a bit more meaningful this time around.

“Students were presented with a tree containing cut out leaves – we call it our Tree of Life. Each leaf contained a global topic written on it. Students were allowed to select the topic of their choice,” the Howler reads.

“The assignment was to decide whether or not your topic was fine enough to ‘leave it alone’ or if instead your topic demanded society to ‘turn over a new leaf.’”

Miraculously, all of the students decided on their own to “turn over a new leaf,” Michaud, the student newspaper’s editor, told The Bristol Press.

“Meeting a few mornings a week, they had not only researched their topics and were working toward the arduous task of writing their pieces, but took part in lively discussion focusing on current events,” Michaud said. “As time went on, the students had a lot of unanswered questions as to why, as a planet, we allow such issues as poverty, gender equality and war to go on and not demand radical changes.”

Student Mia Roucoulet, for example, wanted to make sure those who attended a local town meeting at the school in May – including Mayor Ken Kockanye and Republican state Rep. Whit Betts – knew that their Apple products may have been assembled by children.

The kids also held a food drive and participated in other fundraisers to take action for their causes.

“All and all this writing project proved to be a multifaceted learning experience for students,” Michaud told the news site.

But the allegedly student-written articles may leave some to wonder if students were presented with all sides of the issues, or if Michaud’s own political opinions played a role in the finished product.

Student Tori X. wrote an article about pollution, for example, that quickly glazes over Chevron’s efforts to promote global stewardship to highlight allegations of cancer causing pollution outlined in a Ecuadorian lawsuit.

It goes on to detail water pollution in Indonesia’s Citarum River, and the government’s alleged lack of concern for residents dealing with factories that dump garbage in the waterway.

“I think the government needs to step up and put restrictions on these companies, NOW!” Tori X wrote. “A big corporation like Chevron who has the means, the machinery, and the money behind them could use the Citarum River as a wonderful project to prove to the world that they are more than just a website that claims to be interested in global conservation.”

Other stories, like Amber W. and Olivia C.’s piece on gender equality, also seem suspect.

The largely women workforce during World War II “did help to send a strong message that women could do hard work just the same as men.

“However, in 2015 women are still feeling a gap in pay in almost every state and every occupation,” the story reads. “According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women are still doing most of the housework and childcare. Even though four out of ten women were the ‘breadwinners,’ they still contributed more as far as the house cleaning and raising of the children.”
