I think there needs to be more of this in educational settings today.

Classrooms are a place where community should take place, where we can have discussion, debate and critical thinking." Well said if only public schools thought like this!

I think that it would also help US citizens growing up in this time period to see even more of sub/counter-cultures that exist around them as well. Which helps them become a better informed citizen and more empathetic person.

I agree completely with the fact that YIA give youth the freedom and ability to confront any opinion and gives youth a voice.
