An estimated 15,000 Los Angeles high school students participated in a massive protest against the immigration bill currently before Congress. Boing Boing reports that the students used MySpace to organize, according to the Los Angeles Times‘ Joel Rubin.
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised. What don’t teenagers use MySpace for? It’s funny, of course, because MySpace is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, which has a reputation for being slightly on the conservative side.
