Please pass along to as many people as you can, we need to rally as much support as possible. Be sure to check out this link for an updated video after the school board meeting: www.youtube.com

!) those kids are fucking each other, masturbating, drinking and possibly smoking pot.
2) Repression leads to psychological problems.
3) One lady who’s afraid of the word “sex” has the power to ruin the work of 50 people involved and 300 people who would come see it? I am ashamed.
there is a follow up story of the cast trying to change the decision on the play, it is called Board Meeting on Play Cancelation in Eastern Oregon School. The production is coming up soon. Hopefully we can cover the amazing turnout, because everyone knows there will be.
lol thats so dumb.
but hey. props for standing up for what you believe in!
ps april curits is bomb!
amazing teacher.
If happy, logical and especially “peaceful” are your goals for society, I would suggest not spreading hateful attitudes like “busybody authoritarian control-freak piece of dirt” and “her miserable pathetic worthless self”. You are contributing to the very thing you say you want to abolish. You have every right to disagree with her but a school is not a public forum, and free speech can be limited by federal law. We all have the right to disagree, but spreading hate is not the way to do it.
I graduated from LHS a few years back, and am on the one hand ashamed that this has gotten so much attention, because it should never have been banned, and on the other hand proud that such an effort has been made to bring attention to it. Congratulations to everyone that’s helped bring attention to this, and get it put on. My education from LHS was well above average, and skilled teachers like Mr. Cahill and so many others deserve better than petty obstruction of their excellent work.
Congratulations to everyone who DOESN’T want this play to go on! Really, thank you for getting it cancelled! When you told us that we couldn’t do the show at the high school, then told us we had to give our scripts back, and then said that nothing that we were working on before could be used, YOU WERE HELPING US! Now we have a way cooler stage to preform on, Way better costumes, props, and set, and twice as big of a budget! So congrats! canceling the play was the best thing you could have done!!
Hey, if the shoe fits, then so be it.
I’m only identifying a predator with strong verbal language. I have made no attempts at force whatsoever. Melissa Jackman, however, is choosing to use force on others. Whether she uses a shotgun, or uses the force of law, or the force of bureaucracy, it does not remove the fact that she is trying to control other people….who have never hurt, and never would hurt her. People like Mrs Jackman are the cause of almost every pathology of society.
