High School Students Wage Peace

Students Beyond War


Well over 130 high school students from Des Moines area school staged a die in, to dramatise
the effects of war in a far off land, to people who are insulated and seem uninterested in U.S. policy around the world. The group, Students Beyond War have made there voices heard in other ways as well. Several students have occupied U.S. Senator Grassleys Des Moines office in an effort to change Grassely Iraq stance and where arrested when Grassley did not respond, and some students where charged with tress passing. they also occupied Congressman Boswells office.
The students are a good example of resolving to speak truth to power.
