Lessons my two sons learnt from seeing me participate in protests: 1/ Its important to stand up for your rights 2/ If you don't stand up for them, no one else will 3/ Don't be afraid to do the right thing.
Lessons that young Americans are being taught this summer: - rioting gets more attention than reasoning - violence is more powerful than voting - canceling gives higher status than creating

These are all valid lessons that every son and daughter needs to learn. We may disagree on some political issues, but maybe we can agree that active political engagement is important.

I mean hey. Voting between government expanding debt increasing boomer 1 or government expanding debt increasing boomer 2 for like 40 years now kinda showed that voting doesn't matter in the US.

Or, are they learning that: - Protest accelerates change when the establishment does not - Violence breeds more violence And I tend to agree with your last one, Geoffrey.
