text: if protest and violent mobs break out here like in europe are you as an american going to stand for it? what are you going to do? absolutely not.  as a teacher, i think we, as americans, need to set a better example for our citizens and for the rest of the world.  english was not my first language, but since my parents decided this is where we would live, i learned it.  now i teach it.  anything worth having is worth working for.  this protest is ridiculous.  they should be protesting conditions in their countries that sent them here in the first place.
