I tell ya! Yes, it is just mean. I feel ill referring to the name of their action, because just saying its name, I feel like I am lying.
Mailed letters today to some of the school officials in my area. Don't expect the outcome to change much, but it will make known that people in the community are watching and expect tolerance and fairness to prevail. Or at least, one person!

Hopefully, others are contacting the school district as well!
