"Unfair Civilization"
By Annie Hockett
Dear Mr. Klein,
I don’t believe that the Spartan is a good mascot for our school for the following reasons. First, although the Spartans were very serious about discipline and strength, they were very unfair to many citizens of their civilization. For example, if a baby boy was born unhealthy, they would set them outside the wall to die. This possibly gives our school an image we don’t not want to stand for. Also, they would train young boys starting at the age of seven so they were ready for war. Training is fine, but their training was equivalent to torture.
Sincerely,
Annie Hockett
