ezs note:  Even here in Connecticut, there are pockets where library directors who "shelter" folks.  Now imagine what it's like in Texas.  No matter where you live, there are two things you can do make a difference:

1)  Go to school board meetings regularly and, if possible, speak out.

2)  Go to library meetings and insist that the books are as wide as possible.

ezs note:  Okay.  Mr. Vlaming is a devout Christian, I don't doubt that.  Tell me, sir, how many times does Jesus say that teachers address their students?  I'll give you a hint:  HE DOESN'T.  No matter priests or ministers contort this simple fact, it still remains a fact.  I feel for those students who like Mr. Vlaming, but his buffoonish behavior merits his dismissal.
