Re: [school-discuss] Modified-nice Blackout page on Schoolforge.net is Live

[William Fragakis <william@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For many sites, strike is from 8 am to 8 pm. Some sites are using a
javascript that doesn't kick in until then.

Google has blacked out its logo and added link for info.
Wikipedia is blacked out.

Co-founder of reddit put it very well: An issue as significant as the
budget deficit and Congress can't get its act together. Lubricate things
with $94 million in lobbying and both sides of the aisle line up in lock
step.

For those on facebook/google +/twitter,  update your status or tweet.

Regards,
William Fragakis
