RT Walt Whitman High School students + teachers create teachable moment out of anti-gay protesters on their campus.
“A group of seven congregants from Topeka, Kan., set up outside Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda yesterday to protest the sexual orientation of the poet for whom the school was named.
At the 2:10 p.m. dismissal, 500 students issued forth from the campus and lined up, several students deep, along the police tape, across Whittier Boulevard from the congregants. They alternately chanted the school name and “Go home!” — drowning out voices from across the street.”
I love that the school took this opportunity to teach something positive and anti-hate.
I also love that from the video, one of the seven anti-gay protesters was wearing a GAP shirt.
