Students protest proposed curriculum changes that would restrict education about civil disobedience and it's role in shaping our country by performing an exercise of civil disobedience.
This is fitting for the discussion recently about whether or not the government promotes patriotism for it's own ends. Apparently some of the students at this high school believe so, but more than that they won't sit quietly and watch it happen. Brings me a bit of hope for our future.
"“As we grow up, you always hear that America’s the greatest, the land of the free and the home of the brave,” she said. “For all the good things we’ve done, we’ve done some terrible things. It’s important to learn about those things, or we’re doomed to repeat the past.” Leighanne Grey
Wow, this girl gives me hope for our future.
“It’s gotten bad,” said Griffin Guttormsson, a junior at Arvada High School who wants to become a teacher and spent the school day soliciting honks from passing cars. “The school board is insane. You can’t erase our history. It’s not patriotic. It’s stupid.”
I like how this kid thinks.
