"A number of teachers told us we were wrong,” Arnetta said, "that we were breaking laws, and we were putting our parents’ jobs in jeopardy.” But, her favorite teachers, Miss Woolfolk and Mrs. Cleopatra Goree, turned around and looked at the blackboard as if they didn’t notice the students leaving their classrooms.

explanation:

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).

over the two days of the convention, presided over by lucretia’s husband james mott, the declaration of sentiments was read and its resolutions debated. the ninth resolution continued to be the most controversial, particularly because the attendees were predominantly quaker, and quaker men often declined to vote. freed slave and newspaper editor frederick douglass argued for approval of the resolution and convinced the audience of its necessity. at the end of the convention, about 100 of the attendees signed the declaration, although some removed their names later due to criticism.
