Activism
A Seattle Central Community College campus antiwar group, Students Against War, is in hot water after students chased U.S. Army recruiters off the SCCC campus during an Inauguration Day anti-Bush rally. Nobody was hurt in the incident, in which students ripped up recruiting literature and verbally confronted recruiters. Right-wing bloggers and radio talk shows across the country have gotten hold of the story and are besieging SCCC administrators with demands to discipline the students. The upshot, says Pete Knutson, the students' faculty adviser, was a letter from the administration demanding that the students apologize by Thursday or have their organization disbanded. In his response to the administration, Knutson noted that disbanding the group would be collective punishment for individual actions, that recruiters knew there would be large protests that day, and that asking the students to apologize was like "a show trial for a dictatorship." The ACLU is looking into the case, and students will announce Thursday, Feb. 3, whether they plan to apologize. Says Knutson, "Don't count on it." GEOV PARRISH

Calvary? Isn't that where Jesus died?

Okay, I apologize.
I'll call it the Aircraft Carriers...

VERY COOL- according the Army recruiter office in Seattle someone else may be carrying this story in the next few days. I hope it keeps getting picked up. The students will apologize and will have given the Army tons of free publicity. I was told that Sgt. Due was getting upward to 90 email messages a day of support since this happened.

That's awesome Diva! I know I emailed the recruiter's office with support. I also remember emailing Sean Hannity's show. I think I even emailed the school. I'm good at email. I stink at phone calls! :o)

How do I e-mail the good Sgt.?
I'm going to blog tonight some more stuff I found - from lefty media that gives this version:
They came after him;
He stood his ground;
Campus security escorted the Sgt. - and somebody, God Bless Them, took the picture that made Yahoo! News to send us into the good fight...
