As I stated before:
"As far as what they were asked to do, they were asked to set
"everything" up and the setup included Knox for Mayor posters. How
much more clear can it be? It doesn't matter what they were asked to
do with them (unless it was to leave them alone) or if they refused.
What matters to me is that they were even asked."

I don’t recall hearing in these accounts that the students involved
in community service were asked to do things they were
conscientiously or otherwise opposed to doing. I didn’t read:
“and they made me nail Tom Knox posters to the trees in the park.”
What happened wasn’t black and white, and the kind of caricatures
that listserv denizens create do nothing to clarify the issues—you
make a raft of assumptions, all of them at the most negative end of
the spectrum. I make some similar ones, largely in the other
direction. Neither one of us has enough factual information to
make a useful conclusion about what really went on.
