A valuable lesson

David loves that Obain Attouoman's students secured his right to stay in the U.S.:

... It's an important lesson: even teenagers have the power to change the world if they set their mind to it. It's something I hope I can impart on those 65 souls who sit in my class every day, that what they believe and do matters, that they can have impact, that they can make a difference. ... The experience of fighting for one's beliefs, fighting for a member of one's community, and succeeding in making the world a better place is the most important sort of education a young person could hope to receive.

Obain Free!

I was so happy to hear about this. I'd seen a "FREE OBAIN" sign recently around Fenway High and wondered what had happened. The guy really got screwed by the handwritten court date. Good work, Fenway students!!! Maybe now I won't be so quick to cuss y'all out when you run out into traffic on Boylston Street, against your red "don't walk" light and right in front of my moving Jeep.
