Santa Cruz
Rocket talks about his trip to Santa Cruz last weekend and how the Santa Cruz school system is weird. There's also an update about last week's Speech and Debate showcase and Day of Silence. Day of Silence is a national student-led event organized by GLSEN to raise awareness about LGBT issues. Students around the country pledge their silence to symbolize the silencing the LGBT community suffers from harassment and discrimination. This year the DHS Gay-Straight Alliance had 87 participants. In other news the Fire Katehi protesters left her building this week but are by no means done. They released their exit statement which Rocket reads. Rocekt also reads some of "Kaleidescope", a short story from The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury. This show starts with Run Boy Run by Woodkid (shoutout to Phoebe and Malika) and also includes Cotton Eye Joe by Rednex (happy birthday Ryan!), the Fire Katehi song by the UCD protesters, and Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z (today is the New York primary).
