Gilbert High School students protest Good Friday classes

Well, considering that the school district allows kids to be excused from school for religious holidays, perhaps this wasn't absolutely necessary... but still, it made people take notice! Not bad for some high school juniors. :)

One of the organizers, Tyler Miller, carried a sign that said "He took the time, why can't we?"

"Some kids think it's just a Catholic holiday but it's everybody's holiday who believes that Jesus died for their sins," said Miller, who attends East Valley Bible Church in Gilbert.
