Yes, there was an article in the Herald yesterday: http://www.heraldsun.com/orange/10-808183.cfm
"Singing songs and carrying signs, about 200 people gathered Thursday evening to protest the war in Iraq and demand that President George W. Bush withdraw U.S. troops."
Great rally! Two hundred+
Great rally! Two hundred+ people, lots of young people, at least one veteran of the Iraq war... Many faces who are not a part of the usual suspects. Lets bring the troops home now, and, while we're at it, get out of Afghanistan, no more attacks in Somalia, and a just settlement in Palestine.

Shouldn't an enlightened community like ours make sure that our school systems have an onging curriculum that deals with this reality?
