Channel 8 did an ever so brief story last night about the efforts of some ESD parents to get us kicked off newsstands. Zac saw the story and asked me who wrote the statement that came from D Magazine. I looked at him like he had a squirrel on his head and said, “I wrote the damn thing.” To which Zac replied, “Didn’t sound like you. There were no big words, and there weren’t any jokes.”
Well, that’s because they didn’t run the statement in its entirety. My fault for being prolix, I guess. Anyway, here’s the longer version:
“We think it’s an important story. The more widely discussed it is, the greater the chance that the school will undertake the reforms necessary to protect its students. In that light, these parents’ efforts to get D Magazine kicked off the newsstand have helped the magazine immeasurably. Instead of covering up the story, the parents have brought it to Channel 8’s audience. For that, they have our hearty thanks!”
