�Can we just walk out?� he asked his teacher.
�That�s up to you,� the teacher said with an unusually noncommittal tone.
A few students walked outside; hesitating at first, but then gaining confidence as they went unchallenged. Soon they were gathering in groups in front. It was as if the adults just faded into the background of a Charlie Brown cartoon with all its incomprehensible �wah-wah� talk. The students� parents weren�t there, and their teachers and school administrators were just stepping aside and letting them leave.
What high school student wouldn�t want to walk out of the classroom to mess around with friends? |

Why, I wonder, aren't big-bucks conservatives stepping up to 'orchestrate' and finance counter-protests?
It's not like they don't have the money, and it's not like they don't see what billionaire lefties are doing.
So, WHY? |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. � Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
