I hope that the student who had the petitions taken away will write in to say so, and if she remembers who confiscated them, will name names. I hope that students who remember signing the petition last year will write in to The Dispatch to say so. I don’t know what the official definition of “official” is. Taylor, that 1,200 students signed a petition, nor that it was confiscated. Taylor also wrote: “Another Walker fable had officials confiscating a petition.” It is no fable, Mr. Did Bravo and Camacho-Light look you in the eye when they made that statement? Who is duping whom? He wrote, with uncharacteristic care: “No official at the high school, specifically principal Robert Bravo, vice-principal Greg Camacho-Light or anyone in the administration ever directed a student to stop wearing a protest T-shirt, nor did they direct ever any faculty member to do so.” He had by this time spoken with Bob Bravo, Greg Camacho-Light, and Elizabeth Dirks at GHS.

19 was a different piece of work altogether. Taylor had taken his usual care (none), that he had not even bothered to go back and re-read my column. 12, he wrote in his usual slap-dash, careless fashion that Kim Lemos was fired and students were prohibited from wearing T-shirts. The petition was confiscated, and the students were warned that they would face suspension if they did not desist. Students who donned vests protesting this lay-off were told not to wear them. Baloney!įacts: Kim Lemos was laid off and not rehired. 19, claims that I have duped him and the readers of The Dispatch. Baloney!ĭennis Taylor, in his column of Nov. 19, claims that I haveĭuped him and the readers of The Dispatch.
