Stoke Poges village uses T-shirts to campaign against free school


In Stoke Poges, a village in Buckinghamshire, England, there is a push to open a free school in the village. This was met by a campaign of protesters with plans to gatecrash opening day for the school with T-shirts and banners.  The protest was conducted, silently, by hanging T-shirts and banners saying "Say NO to secondary school" outside the Pioneer UK site.

I thought the Clothesline Project was the only organization to hang T-shirts our for display without actually wearing them, to make a  statement.  Here, we have a case where people don't even have to physically wear the T-shirt for the T-shirts to be used as a vehicle for communicating a message.
