To-day, May 12, hundreds of campaigners who have been engaged in attempting to save their local schools from unjustified closure, joined in an campaign to flood the offices of Ontario legislators and others with letters, emails, appeals, articles of all kinds.
This we hope will draw attention to the plight of many communities and to the draconian actions of rogue school boards who in this one instance are able to close any school they wish with no fear of appeal from any person or group except by very expensive and cumbersome legal procedures. All of this is a serious glitch in our democratic principles.
We are anxiously awaiting word of reactions to our efforts. I have no idea at this point how many people actually participated or how many messages they sent.
I hope the result will be a dramatic response in Queen's Park.
