My morning newspaper carried an article on the Helms/Smith amendment to the ESEA bill. The amendment leaves us much more to worry about than the funding for library books or technology. Whatever your political leanings, please take a moment to ponder this language: "no local education agendy that receives funds under this Act shall implement or carry out a program or activity that has either the purpose or effect of encouraging or supporting homosexuality as a positive lifestyle alternative." PS to Texas: Both Gramm and Hutchison voted FOR the amendment as did 61 of their peers. There were 36 votes AGAINST. Have a nice weekend! Julie A.
