agh......I think they are going on the old standby
:Responsible adult censorship of any materials
believed to be detrimental to minors ,especially in
school environments.
unfortualtely, these guidelines are so wide open the
"adults" in charge of the minors may pretty much
censor whatever they want as long as it doesnt follow
the Norm accepted standard everyday way of life,or if
it challenges the practicality of said "preferred" way
of living in their area.
this WTO is considered by most ordinary people to be a
great thing,and any mention of it NOT being so often
brings about censorship,and outright angery
response's. Unfortunately,most 'authority' figures do
believe in expanding business,at any cost,as long as
it doesnt happen in their own backyards. At least I
know that is how it is done here,and in surrounding
areas. From what I have been seeing,reading,the reg
citizens are almost totally ignorant of any WTO
wrongdoing,be it by little press coverage, or by
choice ignorance....that is why our Student has a
royal uphill battle ahead of her,should she decide to
persue this. Personally,I hope she does. ignorance is
NO excuse for allowing something as dangerous and
growing as the WTO to get away with "murder".BB has
become so huge and is such an integral part of the
"American Dream" it rules.If she takes them to
court,she will inadvertantly be feeding the same
monster she is trying to battle.My suggestion would be
to print her own newsletters, fax em,email em,and
leave piles of them in obvious places...asking the
owners first if applicable of course.....dont give up!
dont give in! find other ways?
