'Out of class, in the moment'

At 10:30 a.m. Thursday morning - about the time President George W. Bush was taking the oath of office at the inauguration in Washington, D.C., - Travis Moe and about 100 of his fellow Boulder High School students were making protest signs and their way toward the intersection of Canyon and Broadway.

Amid honks of support and friendly waives from motorists, the students gathered in clusters on the Canyon Boulevard median and on all four corners of the Broadway-Canyon intersection and held aloft their cardboard signs and their fingers in peace-signs.

"We're taking Inauguration Day off," said CoCo Breen, 14, a Boulder High freshman who with friend Sara Freedman, also 14 and a BHS freshman, had adorned their faces with peace signs.

The two were searching for more cardboard near the park to make signs.

"I think it's important to show what we believe in and catch up with school tomorrow," Breen said.

1. When choosing the leaders of tomorrow,

a Dumbya-era Boulder High School diploma would be a big plus, in my eyes.
Love those kids!

3. No kidding.. These kids are great!

It's a shame they can't vote.

2. now this is what youth should and used to be about: standing against

tyranny and hatred. God bless them.

4. My sons did something similar.

They stayed home and finished up our protest signs then went to the local protest with me, my husband, their step sister and our dogs. We all dressed in black and the dogs had black bandanas!

It was a good night!
