No More Honor Roll

a boy and his computer has a post up talking about a situation in Nashville that's simply beyond belief. Hopefully, what began as an unintended consequence of a misguided law will be tossed out on it's ear: but I doubt it. There's lawyers involved.

... all Nashville schools have stopped posting honor rolls, and some are also considering a ban on hanging good work in the hallways, all at the advice of school lawyers.

The Vonnegut story referenced in the post is also one of my favorites: if you've never read it, do so. It's a concise, precise Anthem.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
