The Daily News
1 My head is still reeling from everything that went down yesterday.
2 Evidently the teachers got an e-mail telling us not to say anything about the fact that there are those who believe the District mishandled the relocation of Mr. Moser. I, of course, believe it was a super-intelligent move by unbelievably competent professionals. I apologize for even suggesting publicly that I thought differently. I blame it on low blood sugar, and nothing more.
3 So don't worry. I'll do just what I'm told. These moral people from high above had everybody's interest at hand when they yanked our principal without warning and sent him elsewhere. It was a benevolent act, y'all, unless we are instructed to say otherwise.
4 It was nice seeing that the news media were muzzled. At least I didn't have to watch my day at work on the news last night, and that made me sleep soundly. I think any time there is a news story that is somewhat controversial, we ought really to chase those newshounds out of here with a cattle prod. People should NOT have to see negative news. Heavens to Mergatroid!
5 What the heck IS Mergatroid anyway? Or where?
6 Oh, bother. Nice to see things back to relatively normal. I was pretty impressed with the way things ran yesterday. I was just kidding, of course about everything I said. These are nice people, with our best interests at hand, and certainly weren't behaving as boorishly as the town bully yesterday. Just ask all the teachers who were scared to death.
7 Fear is a gruesomely tacky piece of duct tape.
8 Pretty effective.
9 But the DN is the DN. It will always have the same personality, I hope.
10 Unless the state police come in and wish me to report nice things. I shouldn't have to be told, however, because bad things just shouldn't be reported. So fear not; the DN shall be daisies and sunny days. When you are surrounded by lots of people in uniforms and severe suits, everything will be daisies and sunny days.
11 Moving on...
12 Moving on...
13 I can't help being proud of the students who shook back their own fear and spoke their minds yesterday. Once the teachers were muzzled, the news media vamoosed, and the campus surrounded by police, it was a relatively safe place for free speech. Great to see that democracy works.
14 Anyway, I do feel that our students reeled the powers that be, so much so that they had to bring on the big dawgs. That alone spoke volumes.I give those students all the props in the world for having the courage to strike a blow for free speech. You had the big dawgs dizzy with paranoia, and that's a good thing, and I am walking around pretty proud of the courage and bravery you showed.
15 And I'm proud of the parents, teachers, staff, and students, and in fact, the entire YB community for taking a stand.
16 Enjoy your Wednesday, everybody.

Peace.
