19:39] < krazykit> so backstory:
[19:39] < krazykit> last week, at a black student union meeting about some of
the racist statements he said, "you have to pick your
battles"
[19:40] < krazykit> so they planned to close school from 11:30 to 1:30 to have
a community conference type thing about the issues of
racism, sexism, and homophobia
[19:40] -!- [duckie!duckie@sys09-34DDE585.area7.spcsdns.net] has joined
[19:40] < krazykit> it's still going on. people have been sharing their
experiences, worries, pains, and so on for hours
[19:41] < krazykit> and so now near the end, they've called on the president to
personally apologize for his disrespectful comments
[19:41] < krazykit> but he refused! he twisted his comment saying "you picked
your battle, and this was it"
[19:42] < krazykit> and he finally pulled it back in talking about what changes
are happening and then finally personally apologizing.
