The following is
an email from Joe Quigley
(Posted 10-27-02)
(10-27-02)
At 2:10 pm on Friday, 10/25/02, I followed my
last student out the door at the end of the last
class of the day, turned to my immediate left and
removed my permissionless posting. It was hanging
without permission, without any demand or even
suggestion that it come down, without a meeting being
called, a memo issued, or a scolding because I has
violated Paragraph J.
And so it hung
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with the
principal walking by it twice on Tuesday that I saw,
twice on Wednesday as he passed it both entering and
exiting my room for my evaluation observation, twice
on Thursday when he came to the room for the post
observation conference, and twice again on Friday
when he returned for a second observation.
It could not have been
missed as it was on bright construction paper and
taking up wall space that was a good six feet by two
feet.
In this instance it
was allowed to hang unlike any Gay or Lesbian
positive posting that is usually met with a demand
for immediate removal, a meeting to get scolded and
have Paragraph J gone over again, an issued
warning of an inpending reprimand, or the actual
issuing of an oral or written one.
Thought I would let
you know the poster was taken down as planned with no
fanfare.
Its getting too
obvious.
Content
discrimination and censorship because the
information is positive about Gay and Lesbian people.
It seems very important for some to allow the
misinformation to be perpetuated. Knowledge is
frightening, but what is even more frightening is
when people involved in education fail those they are
educating, and are fearful of letting the students
know the truth and so censor the facts.
This is not an oversight, it is a willful neglect of
duty.
