While I hate to see any publicity for the haters, I was glad to see the strong turn out at Garfield. The students did a great job of keeping the peace. Thanks to all the neighbors, alum and Nova contingent for taking a united stand.
I drove by on the way to work and saw the hundreds and hundreds of kids on the Garfield side. The organizing was really well done — great energy to counter those crazy people. Hats off to the Garfield community.
So amazing of our schoolkids to take a stand! What rock did these idiots crawl out from under anyways?
Yes, I’m sure the Nova students were there too.
As an educator at Garfield and an “elder” community activist I was SO proud of our students with their activism. They were respectful, cohesive and never combative despite the slogans/chants from the other side. What was also wonderful is the support of the community: families, children, pastors etc. who stood in unity against this craziness. When the bell rang at 7:40 our kids calmly dispersed and went to class- it was awesome! For more coverage check out the Seattle Times this past Tuesday. Ginger Croyle
