ED Reach Egypt Liberty

shared by scott klepesch on 16 Feb 11 - No Cached
  • For the first time in their history Egyptians are pursuing their own liberty and we all watched as they took a great leap toward true freedom when their president for the past several decades, Mubarak, stepped down. What was amazing for the rest of the world to watch was how this monumental feat occurred, in no small, part through social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
  • I would like to propose some ways educators can help students understand, create, and preserve liberty by pursuing a connected ‘general knowledge’ as described by John Adams.

  • I don’t think so. Moreover, this line of thinking seems to me insulting to the unfree world. In Egypt and Bahrain in recent weeks, I’ve been humbled by the lionhearted men and women I’ve seen defying tear gas or bullets for freedom that we take for granted. How can we say that these people are unready for a democracy that they are prepared to die for?
  • The common thread of this year’s democracy movement from Tunisia to Iran, from Yemen to Libya, has been undaunted courage.

    Scott I totally agree with you. What has been going on in these countries is nothing short of inspiring.
