“Marjory Stoneman Douglas AP government teacher Jeff Foster has taught Emma Gonzalez, Delaney Tarr, and David Hogg,” as NBC News is reporting in a segment titled “Teaching After Tragedy: The Parkland Teacher Who Sowed The Seeds of A Movement.” “His key lesson, the one that they have carried forth over the last six weeks, is simple and powerful: if you don’t participate, you can’t complain. It’s a lesson that was on full display this weekend, as the Parkland movement swept over the country in the March for our Lives.”
An excerpt: “I’m a card-carrying Republican that’s upset with the law too. We just want to make sure that there isn’t another mass shooting in a school, at a concert, in a mall. How hard is that to get behind?” — AP government teacher Jeff Foster
