Potomac Brief: Kansas Church To Protest at Churchill

Westboro Baptist Church members from Topeka, Kansas, will be picketing outside Churchill High School during dismissal on Tuesday, Nov. 10, according to Montgomery County Public Schools.

Police have plans in place for assisting in the normal dismissal of students. All students will report to school on Nov. 10; school officials do not want a counter protest and said the event is not an excuse for missing school.

A flier from the church criticizes the school for having a Gay-Straight Alliance Club. Its members protested outside Walt Whitman High School in April 24, 2009, resulting in a counter protest by Whitman students.
