"The protest was planned and carried out by students…. part of a school-sponsored community service project"
I feel sorry for kids these days because the schools have been turned into indoctrination and inculcation centers in politically-correct orthodoxy called ejewkhazion nothing to do with learning any more. If it did they wouldn't be lying to the kids like they lied to me.
"Young protesters march for a library in Chinatown" by Wesley Lowery | Globe Staff, January 18, 2014
The voices were young, but they rang out in a synchronized and forceful chant as the children made their way through the downtown streets. Gloved hands held painted signs as pink and blue bookbags bounced on their backs.
“Books, access fairness, we’re marching to raise awareness,” the more than 50 second-graders declared as they marched from the Chinatown gate to City Hall Friday afternoon.
“We want justice. We want it now!” they chanted.
The youthful protesters were seeking to raise awareness of a campaign to bring a public library to Chinatown, which is the only Boston neighborhood without a library branch….
You know, an authority-approved protest.
The protest was planned and carried out by students at the Young Achievers School in Mattapan, which as part of its curriculum has recently spent time learning about libraries. Upon hearing that Chinatown does not have a public library, organizers said, the students decided to stage the protest.
“They asked: ‘What can we do to help?’ ” said Kim Situ of the Chinese Progressive Association, which helped to organized the march.
In addition to the march, the children read poems and speeches, sang songs, and handed out individual pamphlets in which each child had written why he or she believes reading and libraries are important and why Chinatown needs a library branch.
Activists in Chinatown have long decried the fact that the community has not had a library since 1956, when its branch was torn down to make way for turnpike construction….
The march was part of a school-sponsored community service project, and several of the young students recited speeches and songs they prepared to advocate for the creation of a Chinatown library branch….
Look, I'm not against kids protesting or libraries. I like books. What I don't like is arbitrary and selective coverage by the agenda-pu$hing pre$$.
Hand-painted signs proclaimed “Kids want books” and “Millions for Copley. But Chinatown: No Library.” At one point, the youthful activists stopped, gathered in a circle, and sang Tracy Chapman’s “Talkin’ ’Bout a Revolution.”
The Occupy kids were -- and got the sides of their heads bashed in for it.
But these kids are so cute!
The group of 7-year-olds was determined.
“I’m getting tired,” said one young girl, carrying a sign shaped like an open book, as the group made its way past Boston Common.
“We’re not tired. Come on Isaiah, let’s lead the way,” declared Jonathan, who was one of two carrying a sign depicting abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass near the front of the pack.
When they finally reached City Hall, the group was met by a delegation of city officials, including Councilor Michelle Wu, who vowed to deliver the message to [Mayor Martin] Walsh and to facilitate conversations among the council about how to provide Chinatown with library resources.
“I wanted to make sure the students knew that we hear their concerns and that this is something we’re going to work on,” Wu said. “It’s important to recognize that libraries are more than books. . . . They provide a valuable community space.”
Now if only the rest of the government felt that way about voters, taxpayers, and the American people, huh? Then we would really have something there!

Quite a different tone in coverage than they gave the old folks -- which is very instructive.
What it tells you is those protests that are covered in glowing terms (thing gays, illegal immigrants, globe fart-misters, and any CIA-supported coup) by my propaganda pre$$ are part of an agenda push. Those that are disparaged, denigrated, or ignored (think antiwar, Occupy, and EU protests against inequality) are not.
