I wish this discussion was more relatable. Not theoretical ideas but weave these into current events. We cannot assume each student or American will connect every dot ! This is what’s lead to Iranian protests on 2 major university campuses yesterday 4/25/24! These students have no idea they are representing Ayatollah Komani ! And his Islamic Revolution in Iran. The Iranians need some help or something and they are begging for it. Many American & CanadCanadian Iranians are very active. Please get original testimony from them! Students. Gen Z and millennials will only believe original testimony from immigrants who know both sides and which is more dangerous!
