i remember following this news event.
the Coke corp. publicly denounced the school administration and gave some
kind of renumeration to the student (i don't remember what-probably a car
with Coke painted on it)
it appears it is not good advertising to trample on the right to free
speech.

i'm with diane on this one,
if the student in question had the savvy, he could have gotten a college
scholarship out of this event.

there are different forms of dialectic, i say
that range from open contradiction to slick salespersonship to subversive
whispers.

i think the choir benefits from the whole range of voices;
diversity has to include those we don't want to hear, but maybe they can
be harmonized with to create a new sound.
