The Claremont Conservative blog posted an opinionated item about a homophobic slur written about a Pomona college student  and an open forum was apparently scheduled at the Motley on Scripps College Wednesday night.

I decided to go to investigate what actually had happened. I had to file a couple of stories for the Bulletin and arrived about 10 minutes late to the Motley. The event was apparently scheduled to start at 6 and go until 7.

When I walked inside a very packed Motley (I didn't see any chairs/couches not taken), I sat on the floor until I was able to make my way up to the front and introduce myself to the main speaker as a member of the press.

The main speaker then told me the event was for students only and she would rather I not be there.

Because Scripps College is a private college, I left. If anyone was able to attend, I would like to write up something so please give me a call at (909) 483-8549 or wes.woods@inlandnewspapers.com
