Reacting to
two lively protests in as many days at Aliso Viejo's
Aliso Niguel High School and Dana Point's Dana Hills
High School, school board President Anna Bryson said
she supported the students' free speech rights, but
that they needed to follow the law. "People have
emotions, and those emotions sometimes get expressed
when you're young in ways that aren't acceptable,"
Bryson said Friday. "It doesn't surprise me. But we
don't want to see our students missing time in class.
They're going to college and they're going to be
tested, and they need that class time."
Bryson is
President of the CUSD Board of Trustees. She is one
of the CUSD Reform Trustees who was elected in 2006
to bring fiscal responsibility to the school
district.
