Shouldn't laws made for us also be made with us?

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2023/04/shouldnt-laws-made-for-us-also-be-made.html

What I want to know is where are the students who were taught constitution and had to pass that exam when all of this is going on? Are there protests going on at Florida colleges and universities in the wake of these draconian, censorship laws that are depriving students of their right to an education?

And what are the rest of us, in places where we aren't experiencing this kind of oppression, doing to help? We've left some very active and accomplished Democrats, like Val Demings and Beto O'Rourke, to do most of this by themselves, to try and motivate voters who now, in some cases, wish they had voted and had no idea that Desantis and Abbott would come out post-election to do as much damage as they can in what time they have left.
