Martin Niemoller, a Lutheran pastor, was at first a nationalist but after he got a taste of Nazi tactics he became an ardent opposition spokesperson.

He is, of course, famous for the poem you quoted.

============

Unfortunately for these republicans, they just made national reputations for two young leaders. Does anyone else find irony in the fact that two of the men are named "Justin."

One has a charismatic appearance and quiet but firm demeanor; the other is an eloquent speaker. What a gift he has.

While not 'expelled," Gloria Johnson is not about the shut up. She is the quintessential teacher. Who hasn't had a teacher like Gloria Johnson? It is important that a teacher be in the forefront of those speaking out against gun violence.

This won't be the last we hear of these three.
