Rally!

How did I spend Presidents Day?  In the park across from the state capital at a pro-education rally in opposition to the anti-education bills put forth by our state superintendent.  They had intelligent speakers who spoke the truth.  It was good to hear.  Speakers included a long time member of Boise's school board, parents, Boise Education Association officers, and the one who stole the show, a Timberline student.  He must be in debate.  He must have had some good teachers.  It raised my spirits enough to keep on fighting. 

Mike looks like this except with a tall hat.

Just a side note, my teaching partner was at the rally in his Abraham Lincoln outfit.  Each year he grows a beard, dresses up, recites the Gettysburg Address, hands out pennies, and talks to all the younger classes at our school.  He said he was a embarrassed to show up like that, but it was Presidents Day.  It just called for it.
