A student petition

On Tuesday, December 6, the students of the Wahat al-Salam - Neve Shalom primary school collected signatures from fellow classmates for a petition to expand the school education system to include middle school and high school. The students expressed their strong desire to continue learning in the school with their brothers and sisters and Jewish and Arab friends. They later presented their petition to the school management. Although the particular idea for this initiative was their own, the children had been learning about protest as one of the tools of democratic action.
