I don't think that's been the point of education for a long time. Learn what everyone else learns, don't cause any trouble, dress like everybody else and maybe, maybe, in the end, we will have beaten all this non-conformity stuff out of you enough to land a decent job. Isn't that what you want? A decent job, house with a mortgage, good credit, nice car and a family?
I hear tales of colleges back in the 60's and 70's and am flabbergasted. We could never get away with such stuff where I'm at. We tried holding a rally to get people to vote; shot down. A group tried hold a rally about the war; shot down. The local Baptist group held a prayer rally in early September to honor those that died from terrorist attacks and soldiers in the war; Okay.
Good for these kids and good for those that read this and listen.
