I WAS ASKED TO PASS THIS ON!!!!


This weekend I met a young man, Jeff Chandler, at a
workshop on counseling conscientious objecters. He
received detention for hanging posters in his high
school, Olean High School. The posters, copied on
regular copy paper, had a peace sign in the middle
with messages surrounding it: pro-peace, anti-war,
give peace a chance, etc. Jeff had asked teachers if
they objected to him hanging posters near their rooms
first.

The administration of the school has given Jeff
detention for hanging the posters. You can call or
write the school at the following addresses/numbers:
Olean High School
410 West Sullivan Street
Olean NY 14760
Principal:
Barbara Lias
716-375-8012

Vice Principal:
Jeffrey Andreano (I believe this is the guy who
punished Jeff with detention)
716-375-8028

Jeff is asking that people complain that his rights
have been infringed, not that they demand that he be
released from detention. He is looking forward to
sitting in the detention hall making more posters.

At the same meeting, I met a teen from Newfield High
School who will be serving detention for his
participation in the walk-out last week. Newfield has
assigned detention to all students who were involved.

Pass this on, please. Students have virtually no
rights in public schools. Time to change that.

I don't believe it will change until mandatory school attendance is
abolished.

Does the school have a rule that you cannot hang posters? Or just
certain types of posters? The situation sounds bizarre.
