Principal and chairwoman honored for BBM in Austin, TX.
« on: July 06, 2006, 04:23:16 am »
Hi everyone

  Thanks to the ethics of these women, "Brokeback Mountain" by Annie Proulx, will remain as part of their 12th grade reading material.  Even a $3M gift (bribe) from a parent to remove it from their curriculum could not sway these wonderful ladies.

That is a good thing. I hope the briber will one day read the story and experence a moment of relief that they did not get to throw their money away.

I think the bribe was in the form of a donation to the school.
