An hour later, Flip and Dink had been called in and reprimanded and the poem confiscated.
âArenât you going to take his shoes, sir?â asked Dink. âAnd Iâm sure we can recover his initial when he shits it out. Iâll reshape it for you so thereâs no mistaking it, sir.â
Graff said nothing, except to send them back to class. He knew that word of this would circulate throughout Battle School. But if he hadnât done it, then Zeck would have made sure that word of how this âreligious observanceâ had been tolerated would spread, and then there really would be a nightmare of kids demanding their holidays.
It was inevitable. The two recusants, Zeck and Dink, both of whom refused to cooperate with the program here, were bound to become allies. Not that they knew they were allied. But in fact they wereâthey were deliberately stressing the system in order to try to make it collapse.
Well, I wonât let you, dear genius children. Because nobody gives a ratâs ass about Sinterklaas Day, or about Christian nonviolence. When you go to warâwhich is where youâve gone, believe it or not, Dink and Zeckâthen childish things are put away. In the face of a threat to the survival of the species, all these planetside trivialities are put aside until the crisis passes.
And it has not passed, whatever you little twits might think about it.
