Great article Craig. It sure brought back memories of fighting for my rights as a Lesbian. Tears were flowing over here. Thank you!

No one, much less a child, should suffer any type of bullying or discrimination! The school board is lucky to have Yazmin and Courtney as representatives on it. So proud of our students who have such intelligence and embrace differences. Wonderful segment, Craig!

Correction: the map I attached to the mercury spill item incorrectly said it was the area affected by the spill. Actually, it appears that it was the area affected by the CWS alert. I've since removed it from the post.

Im horrified there is a board member so politically deaf and insensitive to young people and the overflow of prejudice from ignorant backward thinking parents to ill educated children of them. Even the old rainbow flag signifies diversity by indicating all colors of the rainbow. I would love to see a picture of the new flag that was designed!
