Organizers of the original march feared that passions could get out of hand and had to turn the protestors away, telling them to remain non-violent. On Sunday, hundreds more people gathered at Tsulagkhang Temple. More marches are planned for the coming days...
...were given the opportunity to ask questions. Many parents were turned away at the door even before the event’s advertised start time because the room was filled to over fire-code capacity, according to Kate Drizos, a staff assistant who helped run the event.Drizos told the furious parents that no larger venue was available, though many appeared unassuaged.Parents also noted that many of Faust’s responses, which frequently cited new initiatives, were largely irrelevant because their children are already far along in their college experiences.“A lot of the questions weren?...
