Junior class president Manasa Iyer signs the “Justice For Wootton” at the University of Maryland’s McKeldin Library on the AP Research field trip that took place on Oct. 28 ahead of the Board of Education public hearing later that day. Iyer was one of the five students rejected to testify at the public hearing “Being able to testify for our school makes it feel like I have a voice especially in these trying times when our school infrastructure is struggling and our students aren’t getting the resources they deserve. Being denied in the oral testimony after following all the guidelines is unacceptable and makes me feel like my voice is diminished,” Iyer said.
