Protest Warrior is one of my very favorite groups. It is another product of the San Francisco Bay Area, whose hardy band of conservatives HAS to be creative and energetic, just to survive. PW started out by joining left wing demonstrations, but carrying signs which take the absurdities of left wing thought to their ultimate logical conslusions. For example, "Except for ending slavery, fascism, Nazism and Communism, War has never solved anything."

PW is spreading out chapters all over the country. One such chapter is at Princeton High School, in West Virginia. Bryan Henderson, a student there, took it upon himself to counter the relentless politicization of his classrooms by left wing teachers.

Bryan got himself quite an adventure for his trouble. He has written up a fascinating story of fighting power with ideas. I must say that this young man has intelligence and maturity beyond his years. I look forward to reading about his future exploits.

Do yourself a favor, and read his story, and then pass it on to friends. It will warm your heart, while outraging your sensibilities.

Oh yes, also think about a donation to Protest Warrior.
