Our kids are standing up against homophobia, racism, sexism, and despair. They're standing up in North Carolina's Moral Mondays' movement and across the country for their right to vote. They're standing up in Ferguson, Mo against racism and taking their town back. They will be standing up and marching this Sunday in the People's Climate March. Our own Joan Brooker's documentary film students are bringing their cameras and their spirits to the march.
Our young people stood up this Tuesday in Virginia for love instead of hate. When an anti-gay, self described, "Preacher" showed up at James Madison University to tell gay students they were going to hell, students responded to his hate with love.
...[T]he James Madison University students gathered around the preacher, singing a song of love and tolerance. With one guy on guitar, the group begins to sing 'How He Loves', a Christian song by John Mark McMillon. And with it, you can't hear the preacher at all
it's encouraging that in our higher learning venues our younger Americans are not buying into right wing hate agenda it suggest that this next generation won't have as much of a problem as we have had to this time in our history. this also suggest that polls that say it's another republican win could be in for the culture shock that their culture is becoming more outdated,
actually they know that that is why they imposed voting suppression for those who live on campus requiring them to go home t vote when they have been voting at their schools their place of residence at the time they vote. any and everything to suppress and those who are charged with making sure we are not deprived of our rights are the ones depriving us of them.

we need to take a look at the 70's college rebellions not so much to rebel but as an inspiration that establishment does not have life tenure they are not the alpha and omega of education and rights with in that frame.
