Hmmm... tough to quit your job and move these days in a world of few job opportunities and drastic decrease in housing resale values ... an idealistic solution that would probably result in enormous financial losses in the interests of hopefully finding a community that shares majority values.
My earlier post questioned whether the censorship was a representative sample, or a vocal minority of school board members or administrators. I agree that, as stated "... the majority also shouldn't be held hostage to the whims of a few of it's citizens." I think the question is, what
was the majority community opinion and was it adequately represented? I also stand by my previous insistence that any such determination by school officials should be aired to the public in order to test majority acceptance, not simply knuckle under to the whims of a possibly self-empowered minority.
