Thanks, Ed. And, thanks to you, Sorcha for the headsup. I will look into this, to see where the case is at now.

You might be interested in this article at Witches Voice aka witchvox.com, written by a teen and mentioning Brandi's case in several paragraphs.

It is pretty unbelievable, but I have to say I am not surprised. Prejudice is alive and well. I just finished editorial about our school district which still refuses to release the names of teachers who were "reprimanded" for acts of racial prejudice and harassment of their African American principal. Seems some people really believe we have no racism in Wyoming, even after reading that these teachers called him "The Head Nigger"; made fun of his communication styles; and, expressed fear that their school would become known as the "black school."

Wacth the paper, Sorcha, I am trying to get back in my one/month mode for the CST and one per week mode for the Liberal Opinion.

Thanks, again,
