I doubt if these kids thought this up on their own. I’d bet money one of their “activist” teachers put this idea in their heads.

I think you underestimate the power of friendship and causes at such an age.

If it had happened to one of my friends back when I was in high school, we'd had the entire student body of 1200 strong marching. The Franciscans teachers would have given it their blessing. That was back in the early sixties.

Maybe I do. I went to school back in the 50’s and 60’s and they would have kicked us out of school for that sort of thing.

Does there exist any community of Franciscans that doesn’t have some whack jobs among them?
