Question
In 2006, an international committee of scientists gathered to
discuss the fate of Pluto. Though Pluto had long been recognized
as one of the nine planets in Earth's solar system, the committee
decided to re-categorize Pluto as a "dwarf' or minor planet.
in response to the historic decision, a group of students and
teachers trom the 826 Seattle Creative Writing Center staged a
protest. The event was somewhat tongue-in-cheek: the students
released a humorous statement in which they said they refused
"to bow to this outrageous decree." Still, the protest served a very
real purpose. It helped to raise awareness about the way in which
our understanding of the solar system is always changing.
