Civics - Art of Civil Disobedience Monday 4th Period - FINAL EXAM

[biotic_psychotic]

Jack was still not in the best of moods but it was more under control this morning than it had been last Monday. She waited for the kids to file in and then said, "Welcome to your final exam. Like I told you last week, you're expected to give some sort of presentation."

She shrugged and asked, "Who wants to go first? If someone doesn't step forward, I'll pick someone at random."

Yang stood up and sheepishly produced a very, very thick binder from her bag.

"Yeah, so, I decided to look at what might happen if the Anti-Faunus attitudes and laws from Atlas started becoming more predominant in Patch or Vale, where I'm from. Right now it's on the level of bullying, which, still not cool, but I outlined some scenarios where escalation could happen."

"Then I researched some of the successful civil-disobedience-type tactics used by the White Fang during the original Faunus uprisings, and put in about how and why they worked, and there's some pictures in there too that I got my uncle to send me. No videos since I can't really embed those in paper the way I could an electronic report. Sorry. Some stuff about the more forceful tactics too, but I chose to focus on the civil disobedience since it's things we could also start now, rather than wait for things to get worse."

"The last third is stuff we could do now to prevent discrimination or criminalization from occurring, including stuff like better labor laws in general, which are easy to sell because they benefit everyone, and working out from there."

Was she embarrassed because she'd kind of given away the fact she wasn't as dumb and blonde as people always assumed she was? Kinda. Yang used those misconceptions as a very effective weapon, and showing off that yes, actually, she was pretty smart (though not as genius as her sister) felt really uncomfortable.

But it had been a really good way to try and focus last week, to keep from jumping Prompto constantly.
