...Schuster said that he, along with other members, strove to help the committee to work “collectively as one rather than seven individuals fighting for four votes.” Committee member Alfred B. Fantini, who is in his thirteenth term, called Schuster a “bright young man who brought our discussions to a healthy and thoughtful level.” Fantini said he tried to convince Schuster to stay but ultimately respected his decision. Schuster said that not having to campaign for re-election will allow him to focus on the superintendent search, the budget...

When the protesters from the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) stormed Bangkok's international airport last year, the air terminal turned bright yellow. The demonstrators chose shirts of that color because they wanted to show their support for the King, whom they alleged was being disrespected by the then government.
