This is what a high school education gets you nowadays. And to think: it’s likely these two particular drones-in-training were part of a private school class helmed by an academic leftist that was dragged into the middle of a TB-infested Occupy Denver movement so disorganized and scattershot in its message that its leadership decided to protest at least 2 times a conference on new media whose message it is to promote free and competitive speech.
In short, an the students were being coached to protest an anti-indoctrination conference.
“What do you think we learn in school?” That to be edgy and hip, you have to promote the destruction of your own liberties and the unchecked growth of a Leviathan nanny state. That protest for protest’s sake is some sort of political involvement — even if you don’t have any idea what you’re protesting for or who you are really protesting against. That the educational system in this country — even in the private academies — has been overrun by leftists in their long march through the institutions, the fruit of which is seen in these two earnest but confused children: they are marching for crony capitalism, for regulations that prevent energy production, for a bureaucratic state that is stifling job creation and driving away business and commerce; they are protesting those who wish to protect their very freedoms and who champion individual autonomy of the mob rule mentality that chants “this is what democracy looks like” without once recognizing the irony that yes, democracy is precisely mob rule — which is why we live in a republic and are endowed with unalienable rights that no mob, be it them or the government, can take away.
It’s easy to say that our teachers are failing the children. But the truth is, these two kids recognize a success, from the perspective of the leftists whose job it to indoctrinate and embitter.
All quite so sad — and all quite so neatly illustrated in a few choice phrases spouted at an organized criminal trespass.

…note well that the speaker doesn’t just express the need to win the military over in a theoretical sense, but states that they have people already organizing inside the military. He goes to speak favorably of GI’s in the Vietnam war who shot their own commanding officers. What he is saying sounds an awful lot like sedition to me which is a federal crime (see the Smith Act)…
