A silent protest

Silence: a good practice of listening to whats around you
Silence: A loud form of protest through saying nothing at all
Today in class we showed a resilience that only a class with great unity can show staying strong to our cause of silence.  Last class we had a discussion questioning what we are taught and standing for opposition.  Today we practiced our rights in class not using our voices.  It was a powerful example of the tools we can utilize as students and as contributing human beings to society.  We now sit here in silence making a point and sucking on lollipops all in unity.  For one common goal.

Also we were equated to this dog:


And ended the class with we are the champions.

    You did make a powerful statement in class, although I didn't get to find out what you were protesting until long after the class ended. I am curious to see where you all end up going next, especially when we get into some of the other Greek philosophers besides Socrates. I am looking forward to hearing more on this subject moving forward.

    Your tongues were VERY blue.

    And I am VERY lucky to have a class with convictions who thinks outside the box. Champions, indeed.
