Rally

The supporters of Dr. Corbett held a rally today at Capistrano Valley High School. Organizers said some 250 people came out, with home-made signs and shirts. There were, of course, the anti-Corbett people holding a counter-protest, but they were definitely shown up by the mass of support.

The entry to Capo High, as the students call it, was covered by about 75 alumni from Corbett's many years as a teacher (19 going on 20), as well as the students. The students were surprisingly organized. A number of groups had taken white T-shirts and scrawled slogans such as "Free Corbett" across the front. The students carried poster boards that would otherwise have been used for projects, but instead had scribbled phrases and pictures on them.

The anti-Corbetts had the nice, professional posters. They went down to the street and protested, but there were only 15 or so. The Orange County Register had an article, and I found out that some of the anti-Corbett protesters were Farnan's family and home-schooled friends!!! I cannot believe that they had the nerve to come out and protest actual students sticking with their teacher.
