I hope you all can get to the School Board Meeting next Tuesday night 12/8 (or at least write to the School Board) to express your support for the strongest anti-bullying curriculum possible. There is a danger that the protections of Lesson 9 could be abandoned for more generic anti-bullying lessons that don't empower teachers to deal with the ways specific minorities (including LGBT kids and families) get bullied. Specific question to Mickey: What is the "TS of Monday" and how can I access your article, which sounds interesting? It’s great to see these supportive comments.

Intolerance in the name of religion is sad and so are the people who promote it. What ridiculous arguements against something that is meant to teach tolerance and non-bullying.
