I am responding to the first comment as a white person with a different perspective. When did diversity become un-American? That is what makes America so great. The people who spoke out were American citizens expressing free speech. They are parents and educators fighting for their children's voices to be heard. This was peaceful demonstration. It was badly handled by the school board. The presence of 100 armed police in riot gear was insulting, disrespectful, hurtful, and just plain dangerous. It is just so sad that the school board is afraid of the students and parents they claim to represent. This shows very bad judgement on their part. The people were there to protest, yes, a show of civil disobedience in the spirit of Martin Luther King. After being ignored by the board, they felt they had no other choice.
