our junior class, I asked the 11th grade dean if anyone had checked to see
if the clothes had been manufactured in compliance with Fair Trade
practices. The answer was no, it hadn't occurred to anyone to even think
about the issue.
Are any schools making an effort to check that products being purchased by
the school comply with Fair Trade standards?
