Letter to the Editors: Where Were You Monday at Noon?

To the Editors:

I was at the Jena Six protest this Monday at noon on Wilder Bowl. When I first heard about the protest, I hoped that I would see the whole school out in force. However, I was disappointed to find that the number of people protesting paled in comparison to the number of people at TGIF on a rainy day.

Innocent kids are getting put in jail in Louisiana. Can’t we find it in ourselves to stand in Wilder Bowl for 20 minutes between classes? It wasn’t too hot. It wasn’t too cold. In fact, the weather was just right for the occasion.

Where was everybody?

Where were you?... See you soon? I hope.
