Jeffco School Protests: Context and Context

[politicat]

7. Thanks!

I just started pulling together data. S'what I do.



I may turn it into a case study - a what not to do. This isn't that rare. The difference is 1) social media savvy students from 2) affluent enough backgrounds with 3) supportive parents against a 4) cartoonishly corrupt and incredibly incompetent troika of nitwits. Plus, the kids spent the last few days of their summer holidays watching protests in Ferguson. That tends to motivate the young'uns to action.

But if the kids were a little less supported, the teachers a little more worn down, the families a little less wealthy or the board warmers a little smarter... This would have flown and never been noticed.

Which happens all over the country, all the time.
