In 2012 I helped found an organization called the Ohio Student Association. We engage in values-based issue and electoral organizing, advocacy for progressive public policy, and leadership development. We believe that every child in Ohio has the right to quality public education from kindergarten through college. Our vision of educational justice has led us to organize to make college more affordable, advocate for need-based financial aid, and tackle the issue of student debt in Ohio.

Anna Lippincott is poised for a great career as a purveyor of conventional wisdom. I'll leave the specific issues regarding student governance to the candidates. I would, however, like to address her disparagement of civil disobedience, the value of which should be obvious to any student who bothered to stay awake in her history class. (I'll spare a list of examples, but I suspect even Ms. Lippincott knows who they are.) Let me simply point out that all arrests are not equal. Some are the result of serious criminal activity; others are a consequence of political and ethical principle. I'd like to suggest that the latter is a better index of Ms. Marzec's motives than her supposed diet. It also might be wise, and much more telling, to consider elected officials who were never arrested but deserved to be (again, I'll spare the examples). On another note, I confess to being baffled by the connection between T-shirts and fundraising (if there's a cause and effect link I fail to discern it) as well as Ms. Lippincott's disparagement of "liberal weenies," a piece of ad hominem invective that doesn't even reach the standard of Fox News. If this is the best their opponents have to offer, Restart has nothing to fear.
