<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for sharing this! Its important for all of us to be aware of what is happing around Illinois in our schools so we can support each other. And can I point out what a lovely job they did showing the facts of what happened at the
meeting, in particular interviewing those well-spoken students?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For anyone that hasn’t seen it yet, here is another board meeting regarding censorship in the school library and the possible pulling of material. This parent is fantastic in his defense of libraries.<o:p></o:p></p>
