Illini Bluff teachers invite all to show support

UPDATE 9/1/11:  Voluntary random drug testing except for new hires, when it's mandatory.  This sucks!  See PJS Story.

UPDATE 9/3/11:  Here's an excellent editorial from the PJS.

 

PEORIA -- The Illini Bluff teachers, striking over a demand from the school board that they submit to random drug tests, have invited the public to support them before another negotiating session on Sunday, Aug. 28.

People should try to arrive by 2 p.m. at the school, 9611 S. Hanna City-Glasford Road.

According to MapQuest, from Glasford turn north on E. Main, then west on Hanna City-Glasford Road. 

From Peoria, Glasford is west of Illinois Rt. 24, the road to Kingston Mines and Canton. 

Here are links to stories and an editorial in the Peoria Journal Star. 

Teachers, board to meet.

A principle worthy of a picket line.

This school board has been watching too much FOX TV, Bad News for America.

  • Telling the truth
    "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." George Orwell "I found that to tell the truth is the hardest thing on earth, harder than fighting in a war, harder than taking part in a revolution." Richard Wright, 1944.
  • From the News Release
    PeoriaStory will tell the stories that likely won’t be told by the mainstream/corporate media. It will question local political candidates for their views on controversial topics. It will cover and profile off-beat movements and people. It will take stands on issues such as the Kellar trail. It will also serve as a forum for liberal and progressive events, and welcomes news releases from groups working for the public good. PeoriaStory will be a fresh, new voice for the Peoria area blogosphere, and offer a liberal and progressive perspective for our times.
