I feel like this relates to what we've learned this semester. You can use it to de-stress after our exam. Enjoy

"One who breaks an unjust law must do so openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty. I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law."
MLK, Letter from Birmingham Jail

"The only way to learn is to question" (15).
Sartre, Existentialism is a Humanism

I thought of these two quotes as I read this article. Although the teachers in this article are breaking laws, the laws that they are breaking are not unjust. Therefore, they are not expressing any respect for law. I like their enthusiasm for teaching their students, but there is a fine line between enthusiastic and psychotic.

I thought ya'll would find the article interesting...
