Quote: “democracy does require a basic sense of solidarity – the idea that for all our outward differences, we’re all in this together”

Question: How does this same idea, that “we’re all in this together,” also apply to other situations, such as your school?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I once saw a demonstration in Denver Col. The problem was that the School Board imposed a curriculum without really consulting students and teachers.

Right across the street from where I was staying, there were students and teachers holding placards proclaiming their dissatisfaction. They were peaceful and were exercising their first amendment rights. It was a delight to see. They stayed there for about an hour and a half I think.

Their motto very well could have been "we're all in this together." Teachers and students don't always agree but in this instance, they did.
