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.

Lynne:
Thanks so much for posting this, Adrian!!  It really warms my heart to hear about everyday people standing up for their beliefs.

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.
