This was official resolution being proposed during the Saskatchewan School Trustees
Association Convention 2000
(see page 10 in the .pdf document).
All Canadian on the List... we need to stop this from happening. Please send the SSTA
a message!
All Americans and International folks on the List, please take the time to send an
email to the SSTA and let them know how silly this proposal really is.
Thanks,
