Civil Disobedience is alive and well in 2014.
School board members say they want to make sure the history course, accused of having an anti-American bias by some conservatives, is balanced.
Student participants said their demonstration was organized by word of mouth and social media. Many waved American flags and carried signs, including messages that read "There is nothing more patriotic than protest."
