Jeffco School Protests: Context and Context

[kaiden]

15. Thanks for writing this great article!

I live in Conifer and last October began seeing posters along 285 for these three. Not knowing who they were, I did some Googling (I am always wary of the normal buzz words like "choice&quot , researched their three liberal opponents (who did not have posters up anywhere in this part of Jefferson County) and then made sure my husband and I voted for the more liberal candidates. Conifer High School was the first to protest on the Friday before the big walkouts began when teachers called in sick and the school shut down for the day. The children of our friends stood in a line along 285 with their posters and were subject to finger-flipping and name-calling by the troglodytes who still live in this corner of the county. It was an important lesson. Of course, those same troglodytes blame this on the teachers' union duping the ignorant children into a fight about pay raises for Communists.
