		I think if the student or students feel strongly in their cause to protest or march and their actions are just, then they should do it regardless of the consequences they may have to face.

		I liken the recent countrywide marches regarding immigration and legislation HR 4437 to the Montgomery bus boycott led by Martin Luther King, but I understand that this modern phenomenon is much bigger.

		So when a group of people get together to protest, it is not only completely valid, but also necessary to analyze where they sit as part of examining the meaning of their protest.
		I interpreted Perry's comment to mean, "this protest is not composed of mainstream voters - it is composed of the same groups of socialists, communists and pacifists that protest every attempt by Western countries to defend their liberty." In this case, you can throw in the Israel-haters as allies of convenience.
		Protesting these days is nothing more than an excuse to get out of your day to day rutine, and point fingers at people that are far more educated and involved than any of you could possible pretend to be.

		As the for the immigration marches, surely the narrative they tell with their newfound uniform of white shirts and American flags and chants of “USA!” are precisely the kind of theater that you’re calling for.
		The simple basic-ness of ‘we march for fair treatment’ was so compelling in the immigration marches and does contrast a lot with ’boutique’ issues promoted by some higher-in-the-hierarchy folks who piggy-back themselves onto other protest marches.
		I’ve been to too many marches and demonstrations that were co-opted by those with an agenda far different from the one around which we were supposedly rallying, and it’s disheartening to say the least.
