Dad Speaks Out About The Bus Incident Yesterday
This morning, school buses carrying children to the elementary school were forced to run a gauntlet of protesters as they entered the 6th Street gate. Protestors were banging on cars as they entered this gate. This is threatening and unacceptable behavior.
The administration is the one who force to have elementary school bus to go through two rows of peaceful and cheerful protesters. It is too bad that the administrators have ill-fated perspective about peaceful protestors. Banging on the cars shows their inspiration for everyone. I was on the bus and went through it. I feel inspired. My young son feels the same. The teachers can explain their students what is happening with the protesters. It is a social studies lesson for them.
Our protesters would never threatened to anyone even a fly.

Good post very interesting.

Thank God for this parent. If only more of the parents would really,really speak out in favor of us…then maybe the media will get the real story as to why we are protesting.
Is there some way we can use this? Also… we really need a better media outreach-to set the record stright whenever the PR office puts out lies.
Thank God for people like you. It seem’s as if the administration does not care about us. They only look on one perspective. If they cared about this University, they would have flew back and had numerous meetings to try to solve this problem, instead they just play their game with the protestors. And trust me the protestors are willing to play their game!

ops- sorry- I ment Mishka! So sorry!
Looks like two different perspective of same event – just like when there’s a car accident and several eye witnesses would give different accounts. Best way would be to provide video of this event and let people judge for themselves. As of right now, it’s one person’s word against another person’s word…..
I’ll keep you in mind, rj Thanks.
anonymous, actually everybody on the scene said they were inspired by the human tunnel.. a lot of cheering. Mercy was the only person who claimed that and we know how credible she is.
What I think It is all mishandling. It might be resolved easily but immature behavior makes give this a wrong direction.
[...] The father said contrary to her allegations, the protesters in the human tunnel were inspiring and cheerful. Dad Speaks Out About The Bus Incident Yesterday [...]
