"My biggest concern about the sit-in is that there is no way for the administration, the district or the leadership in the school to manage what the children will be saying and to ensure that there will not be hate speech," parent Rachel Gigliotti said. In a lengthy letter sent to parents, Principal Kerry Dolan said in part, "As an administration, it is our job to ensure the safety of all students - those who choose to participate in any sort of civic action, and those who choose not to. Those participating in the sit-in must ensure their language and actions are respectful of their fellow school community members."
"You don't want to get into a place where schools are picking and choosing which messages get favored status," Yohnka said.
