After rally, behavior of 9-R students, teacher under investigation Climate change event culminates with confrontation at yogurt shop
Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2020
Durango School District 9-R is investigating whether inappropriate activity occurred during a student-organized rally to express concern about climate change that culminated in an angry confrontation in front of a downtown yogurt shop.
High school and middle school students organized the event, passing around flyers at schools about the rally that began at 3:45 p.m. Friday at Buckley Park. A 9-R teacher attended the event on the individual’s own time.
The rally culminated with several students making abusive comments and vulgar gestures, including one student apparently giving the middle finger, to people inside Top That Yogurt, 600 Main Ave.
Republican political signs for a variety of races – from Trump-Pence at the top of the ticket down to Marilyn Harris, the GOP candidate for state House District 59 – were displayed in the yogurt shop’s window. A student-organized rally about climate change culminated Friday with some students making vulgar gestures and abusive comments to employees and customers inside a downtown Durango yogurt shop that displays political signs for Republican candidates in its window.
