that was killing our soldiers in Vietnam are killing our students today. I have previously made the analogy (not here on DK — but to my friends) that it was the young people who risked getting killed in the Vietnam war (which, btw, claimed my only sibling) who organized politically and changed public policy to the young people today who are organizing politically to change public policy to keep from getting killed in their classrooms. It was not until today when I saw that powerful video posted by combat veterans that I realized that our students today are under assault from the same weapons as our soldiers who fought and died in Vietnam. WTF?
