To an ever-increasing number of us living in modern-day America, the answer would be: Everything we learned in kindergarten, i.e., sharing, being nice to others, and telling the truth.
My kindergarten teacher, Alice Adams, never told us that it was a dog-eat-dog world out there. Or if she did, I must have been home with a cold that day.
College students have been protesting en masse against U.S. aggression abroad and suppression of human rights domestically since the 1960s. These institutions and their students cite “free speech,” as guaranteed by the First Amendment, as the basis for this basic American right.
Now, with the stupidification (my word) of this nation, this has suddenly become controversial.
Does this guy have a solid point?
Is war a bad thing? What about rape and torture?
Do they point to weaknesses that must be strengthened?
Is Bullying a Bad Thing? Not if We Want a Society of Brutality
Maybe the protestors are less concerned about length of time in office, and more with criminal authoritarianism.
