Thanks to all the great work that Prof. Patricia Dean at Salisbury University has doing to promote the Challenge, entries have been pouring in from Maryland. This from a third grader —

“I think the kid should leave the ant alone because ants are like people too, except they are tiny, red or black, they have antennas, and they are insects, but it doesn’t matter. Ants our just like us, they have homes, nature, water, air, friends, trees, and more. Anyway the kid shouldn’t squish the ant just because his friends tell him to, besides ants are people meant to live like we are meant to live.”
