High School Students Unite! A 1970 flyer distributed around Seattle

By Jack Brummet
Seattle History Editor

Most of the time I was in high school, there were protests, moratoriums, sit-downs, the first earth day, and marches.  This flyer from Seattle attempts to organize a strike of high school students on April 16th, 1970, with the following demands:



1. The schools must serve the people....

2. We want an end to all the phony, unfair discipline in the schools....

3. We want better classes....

4. All police, narcs, school security guards and other types of pigs off campus....

5. We want all military recruiters kept off campus, and the schools must quit aiding the draft boards....

6. We want an end to all the white supremacy in the schools....

7. We want an end to all male supremacy....

8. We want an end to all lying texts and history classes....

9. We want every student to have the chance to enter college and the right to a decent job....

10. We are united with our sisters and brothers in the factories, the communities, the colleges, and all the oppressed peoples of the world."

Photos from The Sarah Palin protest in Anchorage

Contrary to what you may have heard, Sarah Palin is not universally worshipped in Alaska, or Anchorage, or Wasilla. Here are some photographs from a massive--by Alaska standards--protest in Anchorage.

It isn't the largest protest ever (as the organizers claim)...that honor goes to the native Americans who held a protest a few years ago. . .but it does come in second, and as you can see from the photos, The Governor is hardly universally worshipped.

Code Pink bare their breasts again, this time protesting against Hillary & Speaker Pelosi

Code Pink and Breasts Not Bombs whipped them out this week, protesting Senator Clinton and Speaker Pelosi's inaction on ending the war, and on the impeachment issue. “We want to invoke for them the feminine priorities of nurturing, safety, and justice,” explained Sherry Glaser of Breasts Not Bombs. “The American people are tired of the rising body count and spending $1.8 billion a week on the war in Iraq, and they have made clear their priorities are the health and well being of this nation.”


The radical activists staged a surprise mammary protest to publicize their anti-war message on July 23. As The Hillary Clinton for President Campaign celebrated San Francisco headquarters launch party on July 23, 2007, the activists hit. Earlier in the day, they held a similar demonstration outside the offices of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.


The protest continued even after the protesters were ejected from

A curious sidebar: one Democratic Senate aide asked: "Why do all the hot naked protesters just do stuff for PETA?"
