On Saturday March 10, 2012, the Lebanese Kataeb Student Sector organized a protest to the new history book proposed by the government. The book, which ignores the plight and sacrifices of a large slice of the Lebanese people throughout Lebanese history, the Kataeb included, was signed on by a government committee and was to enter a vote for its official recognition. What was a peaceful demonstration in Beirut's central district quickly turned violent when the Lebanese security forces suddenly obstructed the demonstration's originally approved course.

This is a talk by Mike Wesch (A vision of students today), speaks of mediated & non-mediated worlds, relation between tech & human connections but gets REALLY interesting around '8 >> speaking of today's classrooms, teachers, learners etc. Pretty inspiring (! as it just makes my day kinda inspiring...). 15 min total, hope you enjoy!
