The importance of dissent and resistance
Carmen Lopez, the retired Connecticut judge, life-long Bridgeport resident and leading voice in opposition to the on-going attempt to destroy public education in Connecticut has written a “must read” column in the Connecticut Post.
It is an elegant and moving explanation about why we are fighting so hard against the likes of Malloy, Finch, Pryor and Vallas.
In fact, it is right up there with two profound quotes that I keep on my desk:
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” –Mahatma Gandhi
And from Judge Lopez, a piece that is equally powerful, profound and worth keeping on
