3. PRoblem is... we can have no confidence

that this school board will recognize her as a loon and politely send her on her way.

I remember in 9th grade-- in the south, in the 70s-- we were all taken to the movie theater to see Zefferelli's very sexy Romeo and Juliet. I can still sing one of the songs in that film-- it's pretty impressive for young teens-- lush, beautiful, and of course romantic and tragic.

It's sad to think so many school boards would ban that now, regressing to before early 70s US South!
