This post is from from my other blog here

Last night's School Board meeting in Loudoun County wasn't the circus some may have expected, over removal of the Penguin book from general access at the particular Elementary school. Several very good commentaries, from the public and supervisors, an explanation from the Superintendent, a quick "stand-up" from 40 or so black-and-white-with-buttons wearing supporters of penguin rights, lots of "deflecting" of the issue in favor (rightly so) of focus this next week on preserving the School Budget request for next year - and I believe the issue was effectively, professionaly and courteously addressed. More discussion around policy and procedure to come, next month.

No time to fully explore all the great material out of the meeting, that'll be in the next post.
