Rerun: Doctor Apocalypso Has a Beef
Listen now
Description
Hey there, rockers! It's me, Doctor Apocalypso! Strap on your skull boots and crank up the volume because today, we're going to re-listen to Part One of a story that's really important to me. It's all about fairness and fighting back against discrimination. Discrimination is a word for when someone says that you can’t do something or have something just because of your identity! That’s about as unfair as you can get.Maybe you remember that a couple of years ago, a new restaurant called Big Bot Burgers opened up in the Wasteland. We were all so excited—I even performed a slammin’ concert for their grand opening!But the thing is, they wouldn't actually let any Wastelanders eat there! Other people could order all the tasty burgers they wanted, but when Wasties like me came in, the restaurant called us terrible names and kicked us out. At first I got really mad. And sad! But then I decided to do something about it. Big Bot needed to make things right—so we held a peaceful protest to let everyone know about the discrimination going on at the restaurant, and you know what? Our protest worked! Big Bot was forced to leave the Wasteland! Well, it sort of worked. It turned out that Big Bot just moved to other locations. And the thing about injustice is, you can't only care about it when it affects your own Neighborhood. You have to fight discrimination wherever it's happening. So Scotty and I called all our friends and we . . . oops! Oh man, I’m sorry! I'm getting way ahead of myself. We'll tell you that part of the story next week!For now, it's time to rock and resist. Ready? WE WANT JUSTICE! WE WANT RESPECT! BIG BOT BURGERS, GET CORRECT!See you at the protest!Get more social emotional learning tools from us at www.imagineneighborhood.org
