<p>@awcntdb - Thank you for the kind words. </p>
<p>The only thing I would like to add… one can say social action is disrespectful, but often it is the only way to make your point if you have no societal power. Take for example many times in our history as a country when we used similar actions that were disrespectful to make a point. Rosa Parks refusing to move to the back of the bus (which you can argue was disrespectful and inconvenienced others). The Boston Tea Party (same). Many marches throughout our history that disrupted cities, the capital, etc. Certainly many civil rights marches were inconvenient for people, traffic, work, etc. </p>
<p>I would argue that disruption of the norm is often a prerequisite for making real change, especially when you have gone through other channels and not been able to facilitate change.</p>
<p>This is where I come from, with my perspective that it’s SO positive to see students make the commitment and have the passion to really try and BE the change they want to see. </p>
