SFSU Classes Cancelled Friday for RAYGUN! Idiotic This is insane. The man who armed Iraq in the 80s is a reason to close school? I hope that students and others will organize and use this to educate people on who Raygun really was. Other government agencies are also closing that day. What BS!!! This needs to be the massively educate on Ronnie Raygun day. Hang banners at the very least....
