Yes, that is the title of a song by Pink. And this diary will consist only of the Youtube Video embedded below. It was the final AP Government & Politics project last year of a tenth grade student at the high school at which I teach. She and her mother gave me permission to use her name, Karen Lackey. She had just turned 16 when she created this by searching the internet for the images and editing. Students like this make teaching such a joy. So watch. And Peace.

In the results of quality public education by teachers like you I have seen the hope for our future. In this video I see the results of a beautiful mind opening up to the world around her, challenged to make a difference, with the modern day tools to know how to.
You do us all proud!
Well great job using her name... (JMU Duke - 12/6/2007 11:23:50 AM)
she might be in Gitmo already...
Name used with permission - from her and mother (teacherken - 12/6/2007 1:54:04 PM)
and given the dozens of videos on YouTube attempting to illustrate the song, they don't have the capacity at Gitmo.
She is quite proud of what she did, and makes no bones about having strong views.
And there are a lot of people who will go to Gitmo before she does, starting with me.
Thanks for posting that, Ken (hcc in va - 12/6/2007 3:23:22 PM)
it is hauntingly and beautifully done, indeed. Have you cross posted it at DK yet, either as your own diary or perhaps as a comment to "Depressed" which talks about Bush and the nation forgetting all about New Orleans?
