[Occupymendocino] Report on rally from Jasper Henderson

[Richard Karch]

Hi All --

According to the Advocate-News Facebook page, a general counsel for the
Fort Bragg Unified School District has lifted the ban both for political
messages in the stands and during student warm-ups.

Unfortunately, the Mendo girls team will still be left out of the
tournament, because their space in the brackets has already been filled.

It was a delightful protest this morning, with 30-50 protesters, including
plenty Fort Bragg and Mendocino residents, more than a few FBHS grads,
folks from Occupy Mendo, and a large contingent of the student athletes
barred from the tournament. Additionally there were a host of reporters, so
expect to see a fair amount of news coverage, this time hopefully quite
positive.

I think everyone who participated can now declare victory! I've been very
impressed by the bravery and morals of these young people.

Sincerely,
Jasper
