Usimc: POETRY IS DANGEROUS AGAIN
New Mexico high school teacher Bill Nevins is fighting a March 17
suspension from his teaching job, after a student on his poetry
team read an anti-war poem over the school's closed circuit TV
system. School administrators have accused him of "permitting"
students to participate in after-hours poetry contests at a local
bookstore without school permission. (Kids these days. Why can't
they just watch TV like decent folks?)
