“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? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
