Quote of the Day.

"Look at yourselves. Some of you teenagers, students. How do you think I feel and I belong to a generation ahead of you - how do you think I feel to have to tell you, 'We, my generation, sat around like a knot on a wall while the whole world was fighting for its human rights - and you've got to be born into a society where you still have that same fight.' What did we do, who preceded you? I'll tell you what we did. Nothing. And don't you make the same mistake we made..."

-Malcolm X

By any means necessary. Can too much be too much? In my opinion, in this matter, this is not too much. I am a student. I will be affected, although seemingly indirectly. I'll continue to watch this development closely. I stand behind education. I stand behind the students.
