Democracy Now at Eagle Rock School
Loading...
Uploaded by EagleRockSchool on Feb 17, 2010
In Democracy Now! students are exploring the structure and function of the US government and will question the merits of this system as a democracy. Head of School Robert Burkhard explains this multi-media piece, "My writing was just interrupted by a dozen students from the Democracy Now class conducting a sit-in in the PDC as a civil disobedience action, complete with placards, chants and songs. The background for this obstreperous event was foretold in an e-mail from Public Allies Fellow Dan Hoffman earlier today: Democracy Now is having a simulation this afternoon. We are working on different strategies citizens can use to create change in a democracy. We are focusing on service, awareness and direct action as our methods. Today we will be simulating a direct action. The students will focus on demands for change on campus and perform an action [that] may involve issues around the LRC, HPC, food service, houses. As we used to say in the sixties. RIGHT ON!"
