Well, if you go back to the original discussion, with the woman asking Corin's wife if her list had been approved...I see it like this. The woman wasn't asking Mrs. Stormhands if the list had been approved...the woman was attacking her for what was on it. Passive aggressive behavior. I understand and have had to tolerate this kind of behavior from patients or associates before for the sake of professionalism or just plain good manners...but it rarely gets by me. Rarely do I get the opportunity to redirect a person as bluntly as I want to. That cow statement was what I would have liked to have said.

Too bad manners sometimes get in the way of those great comebacks!

BTW, she did remove Angela's Ashes and The Color Purple from the list (because of the sexual content). But the Board Chairman responded to one parent by saying, "Bring me a copy of the offensive passage and I'll take a look at it..." That seemed to take care of it.
