Don't get Rick started on Amadou Diallo....

An anti-school song of any generation will go down well -- but all I can think of is Folsom Blues....You need to sus out if it is a real "alternative school", i.e. street kids, or an artsy "alternative school" -- if it is an artsy alternative school you can do any of your repertoire, they are all children of the upper middle class. Stay away from anything on Eric Clapton's Unplugged though -- I am sure they are sick of it.
