I failed that science test for nothing????

So I guess the science powers that be decided to give pluto the boot from the solar system...
There are a number of people we need to consider with this extreme decision:
1. All the Science text book publishers! now they have go into their text books, change a few words and diagrams and re-print the whole series... whats that gonna cost like a bajillion dollars? Those things ain't cheap
2. All the kids who may have failed a grade 2 science test because they forgot pluto, therefor failing science which made them feel bad about themselves which festered into large self esteem issues, causing them to drop out of highschool and go to live on the streets with the panhandlers and other anonymous vagrants.
3. The children! WHY DOESN'T ANYONE EVER THINK OF THE CHILDREN
4. Probably the most obvious one... Pluto the dog?? from the Disney cartoons?? what about him huh? he has cashed in on the famous name for like most of the past century, what are they gonna do, kick him out of the Disney corporation??
5. George W. Bush, you just know he is gonna get blamed for this one
6. "Ceres", "Charon", and "UB313", as of last week they were up for planets, guess that isn't happening now. Why get their hopes up only to dash them away?
7. NASA's New Horizons spacecraft- It just began a 9.5 year journey to Pluto... what does it do now? turn around and come back?

I'm sure i am forgetting something, but i would like to keep this short, I think the person i feel the most bad about is "Charon" (number 6) which is one of pluto's moons... what happens to the "moons" of a ex-planet... do they become ex-moons?
