Englewood Residents, Secretaries and Paraprofessionals:
Please stop panicking. All is not lost. You are not a victim. Unemployment will pay you more than Delta T. If you despair you will do exactly what this corrupt Board of Education wants. Now is the time to sit down and do some reading and stop waiting for others to do it for you.
The Board is wrong and steeped in lies and we have the documentation. They are trying to cover for themselves. Do not beg them. Stand up for yourself and the children that you serve. I have listened to the testimonials of the many parents long before you became frightened and started to attend board meetings. The parents of the children you nurtured spoke up for you. They do not want strangers with their children.
It is time now for the real work to begin. No one said it would be easy. They are depending on you to run away and lick your wounds in fear. They have lied and cheated to more than you. Now it is time for you to burn up the phone lines with calls to state senators, legislators, the Education Law Center, the Governor, Commissioner Cerf, The US Department of civil rights and you name it. Write some letters.
Making a stand is not easy. You are not alone. Become part of your own salvation. File for unemployment and get ready for the battle of your lives. The whole country is filled with people just like you. The few who have been bought in the dark offices and conference rooms only appear to have gained something.
Come to the Board meeting tonight armed with your vote. We have not been defeated. The enemy has simply been revealed for all to see. The war has only just begun.
Become part of the struggle so that you may enjoy the triumph without shame.

How are the children?
