In participating in many antiwar protests, I have seen how the makeup of the people in these actions is often people who were part of the antiwar movement to end the Vietnam War. I have seen how many are from the 1980s and were participants in actions calling for nuclear disarmament. I have seen how students are not present at actions that they must be at because the people from the antiwar movement to end the Vietnam War and other older activists who are primarily taking action for the future generations of America have pointed out the absence of student involvement quite often.
I am a member of the group people commonly refer to as the “future generations of America.” I think it would be better to say though that I am a member of the group that should be called the “future leaders of America” because I do not intend to sit back and not have a hand in how America leads in the world in the 21st Century.
I ask that anyone who is still reading help keep the student movement alive by donating money to support my trips to the two national meetings/conferences/convergences planned.
An educated individual is not the product of just the classroom but rather is the sum of his experiences and activities at all levels of society.
Please help send me on an educational sabbatical for student activism. (Any leftover donations will go to Rob Kall for continuing OpEdNews.)
