After school, they used crayons and markers to make picket signs, with slogans including "Scarlett O'Cherry is Unnecessary." And they asked Daniel Cordova to post a notice on the Otter Pops home page, asking people to protest Sir Isaac's imminent departure (the home page includes Otter Pops haiku and cocktail recipes). Meanwhile, Amy Kee Cordova called National Pax and warned them of the picket. Don't bother, she was told. Sir Isaac is history.
