Walter Reed puts out a statement

Quick update from an item this morning: Principal Donna Tobin posts at the Walter Reed Middle School website that "permission to use the front of our school for the Republican National Convention was not given by our school nor is the use of our school’s picture an endorsement of any political party or view." Here is what she's talking about.

* RNC-related: Variety managing editor Ted Johnson was on KPCC's "Patt Morrison" this afternoon talking about his arrest last night while covering the demonstrations in St. Paul. He was cited and released and is talking to lawyers about his next step.
