Perspective is a funny thing. Most kids are sitting at home playing on their iPads without bothering to think at all about the future. But to some, the "sheeple" are the kids who get up and go rally at a courthouse.

I have no doubt that they are influenced by their parents and teachers and classmates. Who isn't? But fifth graders can be pretty wise to the world and eager to make a difference. Congratulations on acting on your convictions.
