But Cullen is accepting that things are different for them. They hold to each other rather than to go through this alone. Being a modern also means that you support others just as they support you.

Desmoines case. John Tinker and some other students wore an armband to school protesting the Vietnam war. Silently fighting for what they believe is right the school did not approve of this and suspended the students for not removing the armbands. The students had the ability to take the school to court and say this is our freedom of speech. The students and the school both fighting for what they believe is right. Being a controversial topic both parties had good points. In the past days in our society we were not allowed to fight for what we believe in.
