A planet is a terrible thing to lose.

They've  been talking about Pluto not actually meeting planet criteria for a while.  It is all a ploy by text book publishers to sell more (corrected) books. 

This is so stupid.   No body is going to change the mind set of nine planets.  No body is going to stop naming nine.  " I want to own a telescope some day that I can see all 8 planets and the Plutonian object"  yeah right
