Funny the school district has never heard of the first amendment. God love this wonderful woman with her upbeat attitude. She may be right that this is happening to her for a (positive) reason.

FReeper Alert!!!

Pinellas County FReepers need to get to the next Tuesday meeting of the school board, and DEMAND they retain Rus Cooper-Dowda!!!

The board membership includes:
Jane Gallucci
Carol Cook
Mary Russell
Nancy Bostock
Linda Lerner
Mary Brown
and Lee Benjamin.

This past November the board did its annual shuffle electing Jane Gallucci chairman and Carol Cook vice chairman.

It's a six women one man board - persecuting a woman ( Rus Cooper-Dowda ) for standing up for a woman - our own Terri Schiavo-Schindler. What's wrong with this picture!?!?!?!?!

FReep mail these elected reps at Board@pcsb.org

FReep the district superintendent, Howard Hinesley, at super@pinellas.k12.fl.us

"Wow! I thought this was America?"

yeh, so did I :-(

"After that I couldn't get the most basic accepted support, like needed room supplies, memos to meetings, campus police help when any of my kids needed to be removed for violence or assistance for students hurting themselves regularly."

Liberals are such scum- all this because the teacher voiced her opinion about the Terri Schiavo case- And she herself had an experience with being labeled in a PVS-wich makes her opinion relevant. I bet she's a fine teacher too but

----The Left says:
Vee vill NOT tolerate any opinion dat goze againzst THE PARTY. Vee have vays of dealing with doze who go againzst THE PARTY You vill obey THE PARTY or else...... Zeik Heil

It is unbelievable what is happening in America today. If you would have told me 20 years ago that in the year 2003 a disabled woman would be ordered starved to death by a judge, and you said that a teacher would be fired for expressing her opinion about it, and you told me about the attacks on Christianity that will take place, that crosses by the sides of the road and other places would be ordered removed by the courts, that a state Supreme Court Justice will be fired for merely displaying the Ten Commandments in the court house, and you further said that Christmas will be banned in the schools and that even wearing a cross necklace to school would get a student suspended, and that displaying a Nativity scene on public property at Christmas time would be called "a crime"- and you said the words "under God" might be removed from the Pledge of Allegiance..........
Well, I would have told you you were crazy.

Better WAKE UP AMERICA!

How long will it be until they start throwing Christians to the lions?

"How long will it be until they start throwing Christians to the lions?"

Isn't "throwing Christians to lions" a platform of the the democrat party?

Cooper-Dowda is a lunatic. Her "vegetative state" story is filled with BS. The people here need to research this nut case. Good for the school board in rooting out a harmful influence on students.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

And how do you have all of this personal info about this teacher? Linky poos?

Wow, you seem to have a inside " scoop"!! Care to share??

I've decided that it IS believeable, every day.

pinellas county florida has to be in the top rankings of the most corrupt, power-abusing counties in America (and one of the most populous). It is also the world headquarters of the church of scientology. I have my own ideas about the nature of any connection there might be.

I've been acquainted with this woman for some time, and I heard the story of her illness long ago. Why do you think it is untrue?

[RGSpincich]

Her account of her illness and the theatrics that surround it are uncollaborated and sensational. That aside, in her own words she is "a non-right-to-lifer hopelessly liberal Unitarian Universalist feminist". Not suitable for a teaching position, IMO.

What's your deal? I checked out your recent posts, and you seem to often pop up on Terri threads, make snide comments, and never respond to inquiries with anything substantive.

In fact, the only actual response recently was to tuckrdout, where you asked "Buy any bridges lately?"

Which begs the question - why do you ask? Do you hang out under them, by any chance?

[RGSpincich]

Make that uncorroborated.
