A Proposal From An OSB Activist

My two cents: I think we should quickly build a war chest via outreach to neighborhood assn's; blind and deaf advocacy groups; OSB and OSD alumni and families; our supporters, etc., and start two lawsuits, one for land use issues and one for civil rights issues.

It would also be great if all current OSB parents could file Civil Rights complaints with the Dept of Ed Office of Civil Rights in Washington. That office was gutted under Bush, but I understand it is being restaffed and beefed up. This weekend, I will try to send info re how to file the Complaint, and a sample filed for a PPS student.
