Observe And Report
-
A high school teacher took her class to the Occupy Denver protest. But it wasn't to participate, it was to talk to people there and find out what was happening. Naturally, there's a controversy, because a YouTube video from an adjacent blogging conference showed the students standing by as protesters and bloggers got into a confrontation. Were the kids in danger? Probably not. Is it that big a deal that the kids were there? Actually, no, and I'm generally cynical about the protests; it's a major news event, a little bit of living history, so taking kids mature enough to understand what's happening seems educational to me.
