How old are you? Just wondering what kind of standard is expected.

Easy. What would you protest as a Leftist? Discrimination, Injustice, your State's policies that bar freedom, etc.

westboro baptist sounds like a good one, any ideas for a good opening statement?

How about, "capitalism is the ROOT of the majority of ALL problems (social, economic, etc)". We know that capitalism is the ROOT cause of the worlds problems hence the reason why we're called "radicals" Of course that would be a long (and I mean long) paper.

Also how about the ignorance of the United Statian population in regards to communism. I mean there are a million examples of how people in the U.S. hate communism without even knowing why and they don't even know what it is.

How about a paper on the ignorance of patriotism???

There's a million things to protest about (of course the root cause of it all is capitalism).

(of course the root cause of it all is capitalism).

Thats not necassarily true. Traumatic experiences can lead to prejudice and discrimination according to race, sex, sexuality, religion, etc. All kinds of shit can cause grudges, problems, and resentment. Don't confine it to Capitalism because you are a Leftist.

Singling out the US there, eh? But in essentials it's a good idea, and you can tie it to protest by titling it "Protest to Politcal Stereotypes and Ignorance".

Opening statement as follows:

It seems that Religious figures and prominent churches throughout the years have grown bigoted and discriminative. Religions should be free and not requiring any service other than faith. The statement by Churches "come as you are" seems to be a blatant lie, as you wouldn't be able to go in wearing a Slayer t-shirt, holding hands with another of your gender, or simply to question the religion in question, to learn more. It seems only ones the priests and leaders of the modern religion that follow the model individual (clean-cut, middle class, heterosexual, etc.) can attend a church without persecution. To expound, the Westboro Baptist Church...

and I can't do any more work for you, for fear of your education! :D

Rather than specific patriarchy, Sexism in general?

Maybe make it interesting for the class on a personal level. Subvert your class assignments: I would protest the current compulsive school system because it serves as a way for the State to prove the old adage "Give them to me young, and they will be mine forever."
