on The Role of Protesting
just last week I attended a rally in support of planned parenthood
as a viet nam era woman, i was excited to see all the young people out in force. i hope if they have a revolution, i have the sense to support them.
the other special thing was that different ages, different races, both sexes came together on this.
so in this case, i thought i saw crossing of class and economic and educational level lines. lines, which is what we really need. so this relatively small rally found common ground rather than inspiring a sense of fight, a sense of self righteousness.

Perhaps if that quote illegal unquote young person knew she or he could go to an oregon university, she or he would be motivated to finish high school with good grades. since many mexican americans drop out of high school, would not we be improving the general level of education even if that student did not go to post secondary education?
