There were actually two protests Tuesday morning at both Mountain View and Condit elementary schools.
The first protest was when parents walked their children wearing Native American costumes (primarily the headdress) from Mountain View to Condit. Principals of each school sent out a memo Friday about not wearing the costume but still having the feast. And yes, parents and children wore the costumes.
The second protest was when children and parents arrived at Condit, there was a separate group of protesters who had signs that said "Racism," "No Thanks No Giving," "Respect" and "Don't Celebrate Genocide."
When the children walked inside for a feast, both groups of protesters than started arguing with each other and calling each other racist.
Claremont police Lt. Dennis Smith said there were 10 protestors on each side in front of the elementary school.
One memorable image was when some parents, some dressed as Pilgrims, handed the group with signs a Thanksgiving dinner to try and make peace.
Protester Klee Benally, of Navajo nation descent, said "we've seen this trick before. Our people were massacred." The group of parents then groaned.
A story about the protest will be in Wednesday's Daily Bulletin ...

involving the college's Kravis Center. CMC spokeswoman Dorothy Buchanan said Monday she did not have further details except there was a settlement. A message left with another college spokesperson she recommended has not been returned.
An Architectural Review meeting at 7 p.m. tonight about the center will not address the settlement, said city planner Lisa Prasse on Monday. Prasse said she did not know anything about the settlement and the review tonight would just address a site plan of a 55-space parking garage with the Kravis Building to be located on the east side of Columbia Avenue between 8th and 9th Streets.
The neighborhood group Protect Our Neighborhoods opposed the college's plan to construct the four-story center with classrooms and research institutes.
I have a message with attorney Ray Johnson, a Temecula attorney who represents the group, but have not heard anything back.

Group sues to halt Claremont McKenna construction project
Inland Valley Daily Bulletin (Ontario, CA) - Sunday, September 21, 2008
Author: Will Bigham , Staff Writer
CLAREMONT - A neighborhood group that opposes plans by Claremont McKenna College to construct a new campus center has filed a lawsuit against the college and the city and is seeking a court order halting the project.
The group, called Protect Our Neighborhoods , filed the complaint July 28 in Los Angeles Superior Court.
The group contends that the city, in approving plans for the college's Kravis Center, failed to properly address the project's impact on air quality, noise and parking in surrounding neighborhoods .
"The residents are just trying to make sure the problems the project is going to create are adequately mitigated, so it doesn't create problems outside the university," said Ray Johnson, a Temecula attorney who represents the group.
Plans for the four-story Kravis Center include construction of classrooms, space for five of the college's 10 research institutes, and offices for faculty, admissions and financial-aid staff members.
In a July statement, college President Pamela Gann said the Kravis Center, scheduled to be completed in 2010, would become "both the literal and symbolic heart of our institution."
A spokeswoman for the college declined to comment on the lawsuit. An attorney for the city did not return calls seeking comment.
Members of the group opposed to the project consist largely of residents of the city's Arbol Verde neighborhood , a residential area directly east of Pomona College and south of Claremont McKenna College.
Residents of the area, once a Mexican enclave known as the "barrio," have long complained of encroachment by the colleges.
On July 22, the City Council rejected an appeal of the Kravis Center project by residents of the neighborhood . The group raised many of the same issues in its appeal that the lawsuit has raised.
The City Council rejected the appeal by a 4-1 vote, with Councilman Sam Pedroza dissenting from the majority view.
"My feeling was that the interface between the colleges and the neighborhoods has not been as smooth as it could be," Pedroza said.
He said he did not know the particular issues raised in the lawsuit, but speculated that Arbol Verde residents may "have gotten to a point where they're fed up."
Johnson, the group's attorney, said he has been negotiating with the college over a possible settlement of the lawsuit.
"I think the college is trying to do the right thing," he said.
The next hearing for the case is scheduled for Oct. 27 in Norwalk Superior Court. A trial date will likely be set at the hearing, Johnson said. In a nutshell

This is from the Claremont City Council meeting Monday night ...
The council approved property maintenance recommendations for foreclosed vacant properties which included a change in the timeline a new property owner has to install new landscaping.
A new owner must install the landscaping within 30 days instead of the previous 180 days.
Also, councilmembers wanted a review on how the new changes were working and to be flexible toward people who made good faith efforts for their landscaping, Fryman said.
Councilmembers also sent back to city manager Jeff Parker direction on institutional parking code revisions.
"We are going to look at what was said and prepare an ordinance based on what we heard," said city planner Lisa Prasse. Comments from students, residents and faculty at the meeting discussed removing a city requirement that parking be located within 800 feet of new construction, possibly making all students affix stickers on their cars and changing definitions for what a student is depending on how often they attend the campus.
An appeal of an architectural commission's adoption of a plan approval for Claremont Commons located between 735 E. Foothill Blvd. and the San Bernardino County line was continued to the Nov. 25 council meeting.
CLAREMONT -- Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff's best moments during a speech at Claremont McKenna College on Wednesday were during the question-and-answer portion of his talk.
His speech -- "Conversation with the Secretary of Homeland Security" -- picked up steam when he veered away from his talk of idealism and realism.
When Chertoff was asked about civil liberties being compromised because of the 2001 Patriot Act, which he co-wrote, he brought up a Ben Franklin quote, "Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety," which critics have frequently used in arguments against the law.
"The phrase is 'essential liberties,'" Chertoff said. "It doesn't mean every liberty or every convenience."
He said "there's actually less tension than there appears to be. We can promote both liberty and security ...
"Does it mean there are some things we should not do in the name of security because it would impinge our essential liberties, absolutely."
Chertoff said after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, there has not been a severe clamping down of civil liberties like there was during World War I, World War II and the Civil War. During those times, the First Amendment was encroached upon, newspapers were seized, and people were prosecuted who disagreed with the administration.
"There's been none of that ... I think that's a great example of where essential liberty hasn't been compromised," Chertoff said.
After a student brought up George W. Bush's "failed response" to Hurricane Katrina, Chertoff said there was "very little planning on the civilian side" for the catastrophe.
"The motto had been, it was a state and local matter. And we'll help the state and locals if they call on us," Chertoff said.
He said the successful planning and response for Hurricane Gustav with federal and local government was the result of the failures brought to light during Hurricane Katrina's aftermath.
"There was incredible detail, work on how you evacuate ... and the plan which the federal government built with state and local authorities," he said.
The danger is "it takes time, effort and money to plan," Chertoff said. "The rewards of the plan may not be apparent during a person's term in office ...."
Here are the extra comments ...
This is why he preaches "risk management with an emphasis on the consequence level," Chertoff said.
"The core responsibility of government is hard, it requires sometimes making some tough choices, sometimes disappointing people, but in the long run if you don't make those tough choices the consequences are far, far exceeding the initial cost," Chertoff said.
Another student asked Chertoff if the U.S. president should step in and stop a wall Israel was building against Palestine.
"I think that wall will come down when Israelis and Palestines, not a U.S. president, reach across the wall to shake hands and really have peace. The way to tear those walls down is to have enduring peace on both sides of the wall. So, that would be my vision on how that wall would come down."
Chertoff discussed how the department of homeland security-- which is in its sixth year-- could change to integrate more with Coast Guard,Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Transportation Security Administration.
He said a cybersecurity strategy, which was announced at the beginning of the year, "will take two or three years" to "really get very far along."
Chertoff said his department wanted to "reduce access points on the Internet" for intrusion protection and help watch what is coming in for government sites.
"The hardest is private sector ... we don't want to sit like Big Brother ... there are delicate issues about civil liberties," he said. He wanted to "create the ground work for opportunity" he said.
