Updates

At the March 13th School Board meeting, interested teachers are being asked to try a new strategy. Introduce yourself and explain what you will be giving up next year.

Example : My name is Susie Q and I teach World History and American
History at Blank School. Next year, because of Ms. Elia's plan, I will be FORCED
to give up the Pick My Nose club. In addition I will not be able to chaperone
the events I normally attend including Homecoming, Prom, Grad Night, Talent show, etc." Next teacher stands up... "My name is blah blah blah ..." Let's
try and get one after another after another after another.

Again, I will be home stinking up the place in the name of vanity. So please carry on without me and report back. I am happy to help in any way I can!

Also, from Largo,

Steve Stanton will decide in the next day or two whether to appeal his
removal as the Largo City Manager. Steve has worked for Largo for 17 years, 14
of those as the city's manager. The Largo City Commission voted (5-2) February
27th to fire Steve just one week after he announced that he is transgendered and
will be completing gender reassignment process in the coming year.

In the week since the commission's vote, over 2,800 Equality Florida supporters
have sent emails and made phone calls to the Largo City Commission on Steve's
behalf. And today, over 350 fair-minded residents of Largo and surrounding areas
demonstrated at Largo City Hall to support Steve during an interfaith rally
organized by religious leaders from various faiths.
