[Lnc-business] Facebook post on student walkouts

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.

          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.
