Recently Mr. Cantrell's drink service has been suspended. Many students have been going to his classroom for up to six years to buy a Coke for only $1. It has become a habit for many students to pop into Mr. Cantrell's class before break and buy a Coke. There is no other place that we can buy Cokes for only $1 and vending machines aren't as nice as Mr. Cantrell. They are also out of Cokes all the time. Students of all ages are deeply disappointed.
No student has ever felt pressured to buy a drink from Mr. Cantrell. He even tells us how much he buys the Cokes for and how much profit he makes on each one. To buy Cokes, students just place their dollar on his desk and go get their Coke. There are not many businesses today that can operate using the honor system but Mr. Cantrell has done it that way for six years because he trusts his students.
In Mr. Cantrell's class we learn a lot more than just science. He teaches us life lessons often and from observing his drink business, we have seen the value of trust and capitalism.
We respect the decision that was made to end Mr. Cantrell's drink business, but we ask that it be reconsidered. We would love for Mr. Cantrell's drink business to be allowed again.

We just hit 250 signatures and the administration cannot ignore us anymore. They think they can shut down a good thing just because they do not like it but they are wrong. Keep pushing because we are not stopping until Mr. Cantrell gets his business back.

This is correctnes run amuck. If the guy was handing out medication that might be one thing but a "Coke?" Give me a soft drink break!! Reverse the decision and find more serious things to tackle at LSA than this, Surely there are some??
#freecantrel we fully support his Buisness. It is a great idea and teaches the kids valuable lessons.
This is absurd. As a '15 Alum, hearing of Mr. Cantrell's drink sale suspension makes me sick. If the United States of America is known for anything, it is capitalism. Bill Cantrell is a hard working, Blue-Collar Man living out the American Dream. Bill Cantrell could have a much more lucrative job with his background in forestry and ecology management but he is focused on the building of character, discipline, and the enhancement of today's youth through the outlet of education. Bill Cantrell Is a veteran of the United States Navy, further exemplifying the character and selflessness of this man. I charge you, Lee-Scott to suspend the suspension on Bill Cantrell's drink sales.
Mr. Cantrell is a good man just trying to connect with his students in more ways than just the classroom. Please reconsider your decision
I thought the students paying by an honor system was a good tradition. #oldschool
I just poopy sharted my pants! oops! free Cantrell oops gotta shat!
I am really busy but I put time in to do this. I am wondering if this worked because f so I would like to use this as an example in my campaign. Thanks!

Mr.Cantrell should keep selling drinks because it helps him put food on table for his family.
