They Canceled Class Today — All The Teachers Got Arrested While Protesting For Voting Rights [View all]
North Carolina seems to have hit a time warp. Protests in the name of voting rights have cropped up around the state, and over 50 nonviolent protesters have been arrested. Skip to 1:58 for an explanation of why voting rights are suddenly under fire, and go to 4:35 for the most damaging element of voter suppression. Watch a professor completely laugh off being arrested at 6:16, and ask yourself if you're willing to go through something like that in the name of democracy. Apparently, it's not that bad.
