Slog - Comments on Exodus: The Conclusion http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/04/exodus_the_conclusion For those of you following the Mike Daisey vs. angry Christians saga, you can read its conclusion here. Wherein: • Daisey hunts down the "Christians" who were actually from a public high school in Norco, California: "the people in charge freely identified themselves as a Christian group, until reporters call and they remember they are from a public high school." • An administrator at the school says that they had to evacuate their students after Daisey said "fuck" (even though they were told when they bought tickets that the show contained adult language) because of, uh, safety: she insisted it...

I couldn't have done that. Even after the whole process, I couldn't have done that, seriously engaged and then ultimately forgiven the guy. I'm humbled by how he handled that situation.

I don't want you to ever forget that, as long as you live."

Hells to the yeah. I never had much of an opinion on Mr. Daisey, but now he's my goddamn hero.

Obama/Daisey '08!

i'd say he was the better man, but last time i did dirge took issue with me.

I'm with Fnarf - Mike handled this like a mensch. As a liberal atheist, I couldn't be more proud. I'm looking forward to seeing him live sometime.

It's too bad these teachers are clearly teaching their students very, very different values.

The town's motto is "City Living in a Rural Atmosphere." Apparently the school mascot is the cougar.

The wikipedia and wikimapia entries are a little bare for such an exciting place.

Did they travel across the country just to make some sort of statement?
