I think you have the best idea for how to spend that day, Sherry. It should be far more exciting and enjoyable than it will be for most of us, no matter what exactly we're planning. Have some extra fun for each of us!

All I can say is I won't be watching it on TV or internet streaming or listening or anything. I think that day I'm scheduled to be in Cozumel, and will be enjoying the warm waters of the Caribbean. When we have things like this come up at work, we have a Windows Media server that we pull one feed from the internet to, and rebroadcast it internally on our intranet. Actually, I think the proper tem in WMS is advertising a publishing point? Aggghhh, I'm not at work right now and can't remember exactly what it is......

I apologize for posting a question regarding such a controversial issue. While I may agree with many of the comments made, it is not for me to judge. I believe it is my job to accommodate the learning environment our teachers/campuses/district seek to provide. Again, thanks for everyone's input on this.
