This is a great picture of a group of young Warwick students that had the strength of character to stand up for what they believe in. Whether you agree with their message or not, you have to admire their courage. They knew there would be consequences to their peaceful display of "civil disobedience". They weighed the penalty of their actions, and the value of the message they wanted to get across to the School Committee, and they willingly accepted the cost.

Take a good look Beacon readers, and join me in applauding these brave future leaders of our city. They didn't just sit back and take the injustice. They did something about it. Their message was peaceful and insightful, the very definition of "leadership".

Ann Landers once said that there are only three kinds of people in this world.

Those that watch things happen.

Those that make things happen, and

Those that say "What happened?"

These students are definitely in that second group.

Congrats to these students for delivering a clear yet respectful message to the School Committee.

Happy 2017 everyone.
