Also if you’re in school doing a report, I would really hope you knew that there are such things as libraries. These places do wonders for those who need information for reports! It surprises me that these kids are even complaining about wikipedia blacking out in the first place. Do you not know why they are doing this? The important statement they are making towards congress?! I say, props to wikipedia and other online sites blacking out tomorrow. And shut up kids who are complaining about it. There are bigger issues than your incompetence to actually do “research” for a paper.
