Hindi ako nakapagpigil at kinailangang i-chat ang mga kaibigang online noon habang namamanghang pinapanuod sa YouTube ang pagdiriwang ng mamamayan sa Amerika sa pagkapanalo ni Barack Obama.

Kasabay ng pagtindi ng pasistang mga kampanya sa paaralan, isang batas para sa “karapatan at kagalingan ng mga mag-aaral” ang isinusulong sa Kongreso.
