Power of Solidarity in Education

Someone told me to watch this clip.

It was that ant that stood up to me.

Yeah, but we can forget about him.

Yeah. It was just one ant. Ooh, one ant.

Yeah, you're right. It's just one ant.

Yeah, boss. They're puny.

Hmm, puny? Say, let's pretend this

grain is a puny little ant.

Did that hurt?

No.

Well, how about this one?

Are you kidding?

Well, how about this?

Wow.

They put this in a children's film, huh?

You let one ant stand up to us, then they all-

This is important

... might stand up. Those puny little ants

outnumber us-

This is actually about tyranny

... a hundred to one.

This is what's happening now

And if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of

life. It's not about food. It's about keeping

those ants in line.

I would show this clip in my class. You let one ant

stand up to them, and they might all stand up.

You see the power of solidarity? The power of all of

us together? Individually, we feel

helpless, lonely, often frightened.

Together, nothing can stop us.
