For the second time or so, our paper has highlighted students protesting ICE. As a child of the 60s, I can understand the passion and comradery of the current events. What I can’t condone is the mild, tolerant attitude of the Courier, parents and teachers to the students walking out of school.
Hurling insults, chanting insipid slogans and throwing water bottles isn’t the way to fight this. Do these kids know that ICE is only enforcing laws passed by their congressmen? OK, change the laws.
Are they protesting bias against Hispanics or Somalians? Change the laws. And on the other end, become citizens, learn English, be so hard working everyone will want to hire you or live next to you.
