I just listened on YouTube to my daughter’s graduation speech from the New School June ‘06 when she spoke out against John McCain’s speaking there. It’s amazing how it resonates to this day and its too bad that the students got all the flack they did for standing up for their beliefs.We must all take responsibility for speaking truth to power as did Jean Sara Rohe.
