First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me–and there was no one left to speak for me.
I saw a protest sign recently that said “First they came for the Socialists, and that’s why I’m out here in the street because I know the rest of the poem”
Then how do you deal with it without becoming a problem yourself?
The people who don’t care about education are still people and deserve all the same rights we have. You can’t just send them away.
They will send you away, and then there’s nobody else to stop them.
So what goal do you want to achieve?
