I agree. It's just as bad, in my opinion, when conservatives start
flinging around kids who disagree. Using kids to repeat your sound-bites
is just a form of hostage-taking, in that anyone who responds to them comes
off looking bad. We should just not touch the tar.
Unfortunately, this whole mess is also helping the country to unlearn what
civil disobedience is, and what bravery means. Civil disobedience is
generally not government-funded, and doesn't involve getting permission
from your school, or a promise from your university that your acceptance
won't be in danger. MLK didn't write "Letter from a Hotel Room in
Birmingham." He certainly didn't have a school district bus him there.

If
anyone wants to see it, I am fairly certain most of you are on

delegates page, or on the new Libertarian, I shared it in both

It is a terrible post. I have requested for it to be pulled.
The
intent was good. It didn't work out. Let's learn, pull it,
and
move on IMHO.
