Every FReeper needs a list of companies which produce goods and services in Massachusetts; all the better to boycott activities centered in that horrid state.

Bump on that!

This is an outrage...how dare they put the burden of proof on these homeschooling parents! What is the basis in law for that?

Every freeper needs email addresses for the Waltham city council members and mayor David Gately. However, I can't provide them because the Waltham city web page does not show them. I guess when you're an elected leader with a fascist bent you find it best to not make your email address public knowledge.

However, as a standin for the mayor et al here's Waltham school superintendent Dr. (oooooh, "Doctor", I'm impressed) Susan I. Parella's email address.

At the school site you can also read about the district's Systemic (ooooh, systemic!) Goals and Initiatives. Of course they're not just ordinary goals and initiatives because as you all know you can't be a well doctored educator without using fancy words needlessly. In this case I believe the word systemic is used to mean "these goals won't do crap as far as improving your kid's education but still isn't that a cool title and wasn't developing a report full of blather a cool way to funnel tax dollars to some teachers over the summer".

my sentiments exactly, Massachusetts is a terrible place, the people there are very bigoted. We should say these things as often as possible because it's true. I lived in Alabama, I never saw any bigotry there like what I read about regularly concerning Massachusetts, apparently the worst state in the nation.
