Looks like character escaping that, at some point, was incorrectly handled by an email client.

There was a substantial march of what appeared to be high school students down West Portal Ave, heading toward Dolores about an hour ago. <3

Hell yea, congrats!

The school principal claimed he wasn't suspending me for my speech, but for disobeying an adult. Needless to say, illegal commands are not commands one has to follow. He didn't appreciate that argument, but hey, fuck him.

He was later removed for sexual harassment of the girls volleyball team.

In that case, I was threatened for suspension for not following the order of a security guard, who had told me I could not photograph the graffiti. I told him I had every right to document and publish what had happened, and then refused to hand him my camera we he demanded it.

Why? Two stories particularly rankled the principal (and some parents). The first was on how to gain access to birth control (the horror); I got suspended over that one. The second documented the school being tagged with graffiti.

Colorado, where I grew up, has unusually strong protection for the free speech of non-emancipated minors. Our journalism teacher was well aware of our rights and ready to defend them. Nevertheless, I was suspended once, threatened with suspension another time, and our teacher eventually forced out.

We need over 200,000 signatures to get regional transit funding on the ballot this November. Come gather signatures with us this weekend!
