Actor and author Maulik Pancholy’s anti-bullying assembly at Mountain View Middle School was initially canceled due to concerns over his message of inclusion. However, a Change.org petition by parent Trisha Comstock, garnering nearly 10,000 signatures, led to the reversal of the decision. Pancholy shared his inspiring message with students, highlighting the power of community action.
